Turn the Page

On a long, lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin'
Out his one note song
You can think about the woman or the
Girl you knew the night before

But your thoughts will soon be wanderin'
The way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours
There's nothin' there to do
You don't feel much like ridin'
You just wish the trip was through

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
All strung out from the road
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 clichés
"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
Smoke the day's last cigarette
Rememberin' what she said

Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on stage
Here I go, playin' star again
There I go, turn the page here I am
(Here I am) , on the road again (On the road)
There I am (There I am)
Up on the stage (Up on the stage) here I go
(Here I go)
Playin' star again (Playin' star again)
There I go, there I go turn the page
