Turn The Page

On a long and lonely highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
Moanin' out as one long song
You can think about the woman
Or the girl you knew the night before

And your thoughts will soon be wandering
The way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours
And there's nothing much to do
You don't feel much like travelin'
You just wish the trip was through

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage

Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page

You walk into a restaraunt
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
But you just want to explode

Sometimes you can here 'em talk
Other times you can't
All the same 'ole cliches
Is that a woman or a man
And you always seem outnumbered
You dare not make a stand

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage

Here I go
Playing 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
And the sweat pours from your body
Like the music that you play

Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed
Echoes of the amplifiers
Ringin' in your head
As you smoke the days last cigarette
Remembering what she said

Oh yeah

Yeah, here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage

Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page

There I go
Turn that page

There I go
Yeah
There I go
Yeah

There I go
Yeah
Here I go
Yeah

Here I go
Oh, oh oh
Here I go
