[Verse 1]
On a long, lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out his one-note song
You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before

[Verse 2]
But your thoughts will soon be wanderin', the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours, there's nothin' there to do
You don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through

[Chorus]
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playin' star again
There I go, turn the page

[Verse 3]
Well, you walk into a restaurant, all strung out from the road
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

[Verse 4]
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés, "Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand
[Chorus]
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playin' star again
There I go, turn the page

[Verse 5]
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

[Verse 6]
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
Smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said

[Chorus]
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on stage
Here I go, playin' star again
There I go, turn the page
Here I am (Here I am), on the road again (On the road)
There I am (There I am), up on the stage (Up on the stage)
Here I go (Here I go), playin' star again (Playin' star again)
There I go, there I go
Turn the page
