ON A LONG
AND LONESOME HIGHWAY
EAST OF OMAHA
YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE ENGINE
MOANIN' OUT ITS ONE-NOTE SONG
YOU CAN THINK
ABOUT THE WOMAN
OR THE GIRL
YOU KNEW THE NIGHT BEFORE
BUT YOUR THOUGHTS
WILL SOON BE WANDERIN'
THE WAY THEY ALWAYS DO
WHEN YOU'RE RIDIN'
SIXTEEN HOURS AND THERE'S
NOTHIN' MUCH TO DO
AND YOU DON'T FEEL
MUCH LIKE RIDIN'
YOU JUST WISH
THE TRIP WAS THROUGH
MMM, SAY, HERE I AM
ON A ROAD AGAIN
THERE I AM UPON THE STAGE
HERE I GO
PLAYIN' THE STAR AGAIN
THERE I GO, TURN THE PAGE...
WELL, YOU WALK
INTO A RESTAURANT
STRUNG-OUT FROM THE ROAD
AND YOU FEEL
THE EYES UPON YOU
AS YOU'RE SHAKIN' OFF THE COLD
YOU PRETEND
IT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU
BUT YOU JUST WANT TO EXPLODE
MOST TIMES
YOU CAN'T HEAR 'EM TALK
OTHER TIMES YOU CAN
ALL THE SAME OLD CLI
IS THAT A WOMAN OR A MAN
AND YOU ALWAYS
SEEM OUTNUMBERED
YOU DON'T DARE MAKE A STAND
A-HERE I AM
ON A ROAD AGAIN
THERE I AM UPON THE STAGE
A-HERE I GO
PLAYIN' THE STAR AGAIN
THERE I GO, TURNIN' THE PAGE...
OUT THERE IN THE SPOTLIGHT
YOU'RE A MILLION MILES AWAY
EVERY OUNCE OF ENERGY
YOU TRY TO GIVE AWAY
AS THE SWEAT
POURS OUT YOUR BODY
LIKE THE MUSIC THAT YOU PLAY
LATER IN THE EVENIN'
AS YOU LIE AWAKE IN BED
WITH THE ECHOES
FROM THE AMPLIFIERS
RINGIN' IN YOUR HEAD
YOU SMOKE
THE DAY'S LAST CIGARETTE
REMEMBERIN' WHAT SHE SAID
AH, HERE I AM
ON A ROAD AGAIN
THERE I AM UPON THE STAGE
HERE I GO
PLAYIN' THE STAR AGAIN
THERE I GO, TURN THE PAGE
AH, HERE I AM
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
THERE I AM UPON THE STAGE
HERE I GO
PLAYIN' STAR AGAIN
THERE I GO, THERE I..... GO
