Tom: Am

         Am
1. On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha,
             G
    you can listen to the engine moanin` out its one-note song.
              D                                                      Am  
    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,
                 G
    when you`re riding sixteen hours, and there's nothing much to do.
             D                                                             Am
    And you don't feel much like riding', you just wish the trip was thro...ugh.
            G          Am                   G             Am
But here I am, on the road again, there I am, up on the stage.
        G                 D                 F    G             Am
Here I go, playing` the star again, here I go,       turn the page.
      
              Am
2. Well, you walk into this restaurant, strung out from the road,
             G
    and you feel the eyes upon you, as you`re shakin` off the cold.
            D                                                  F G Am   
    You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explo...de.
                \
    Yeah, most times you can`t hear them talk, other times you can,
             G
    all the same old clichés : Is it woman, is it man ?
             D                                                 Am
    And you always seem outnumbered, you don`t dare make a sta...nd.
    You don`t dare.     + REFRAIN
        Am
3. Oh, out there in the spotlight, you`re a million miles away,
           G
    every ounce of energy, you try to give away. 
             D                                                 F G Am   
    As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you pla...y.

     Am
    Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed,
              G
    with the echos of the amplifiers ringin` in your head.
              D                                                    F G  Am
    And you smoke the day`s last cigarette, rememberin` what she  sai...d.
    (What she said).
Woman`s voice speaking: I do it for the money, and ..... 
and I can change my life, and I can... 
I can be what society wants me to be, 
and I can raise my daughter just as good as anybody else can.

But here I am, on the road again, here I am, up on the stage.
