Verse 1: On a long and lonesome highway,east of Omaha You can listen to the engine moaning out it's one note song And you think about the woman or the girl the night before Verse 2: But your thoughts will soon be wandering 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 Here I am on the road again, There I am one more stage Here I go,playin' star again There I go turn the page Verse 3: 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 Verse4: Most times you can't hear them talkin',other times you can All the same old cliches, "Is that a woman or a man?" and you always seem outnumbered so you don't dare make a stand Chorus 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 from your body like the music that you play Verse 6: Later in the evening as you lie a wake in bed With the echoes from the amplifiers ringing in your head And you smoke the day's last cigarette remembrin' what she said Chorus 2 times.
