"Turn The Page" lyrics

On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can hear the engine singin', moaning 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 wandering the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours, there's nothing much to do
You don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through

Here I am
I'm on the road again
There I am
I'm up on the stage
Here I go
I'm playin' the star again
There I go
Turn the page, yeah

So you walk into this restaurant, you're strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
And you pretend it doesn't bother you, you just want to explode
Most times you can hear 'em talk, other times you can't
All the same old clichés, "Is it woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand

Ah, here I am
I'm on the road again
There I am
I'm up on the stage
Here I go
I'm playin' the star again
There I go
Turn the page

Oh, out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy that 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
The echoes from the amplifiers ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said

Here I am
I'm on the road again
Here I am
I'm up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' the star again
There I go
Turn the page
Ah, here I am
I'm on the road again
There I am
Up on this stage
Here I go
I'm playin' the star again
And there I go
Here I go
