On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha You can listen to the engine moanin'
out it's one note song You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night
before But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
And you don't feel much like riding, 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
Well you walk into a restaurant all 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
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliche's, is it woman is it man?
You always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand
(**)
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
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said
(**) (sing365)
This song is about life on the road, and the rigors musicians face when they're touring. It presents the other side of fame which the public doesn't see - the loneliness and aggravation. Seger wrote the song in what for him, was an unusual way. (songfacts)
