v.1
EmOn a long and lonesome hi-way east of Omaha
You can Dlisten to the engine moanin' out its one-note song
You can Athink about the woman or the girl you knew the night beEmfore
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
An' you don't feel much like ridin' you just wish the trip was thru... hmm
Chorus:
Now here I Dam, on the Emroad again
Now here I Dam, up on the Emstage
There I Dgo, playin' Astar again
There I Cgo,D turn the Empage
v.2
When you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road
An' you feel the eyes upon you as your'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 ol' clichés is that a woman or a man
And you always seem outnumbered you don't dare take a stand
Rpt Ch.
v.3
Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
With 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
As you smoke the day's last cigarette rememberin' what she said
Rpt. Ch. 2t
