Lyrics:

On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out his one lone song
You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before

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

Hmm say 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

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 cliche's is that a woman or a man
And you always seem outnumbered you don't dare make a stand

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

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 evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the days last cigarette rememberin' what she said

Ah 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

Ah here I am on the road again
There I am up on the stage yeah
Here I go playin' star again
There I go there I go
