Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

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

Refrain

 But here I am, on the road again

 Here I am, up on the stage

 Here I go, playing the 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 'old cliches: is that a woman or a man?

 And you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand

Refrain

Out there in the spotlight, your 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

Echos of the amplifiers, ringin' in your head

As you smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said
