Turn the page

(bob seger) 
 
On a long and lonesome highway east of omaha 
You can listen to the engines moaning out as one note song 
You 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 youre riding sixteen hours and theres nothing much to do 
And you dont 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 
 
So you walk into this restaurant strung out from the road 
And you feel the eyes upon you, as youre shaking off the cold 
You pretend it doesnt bother you, but you just want to explode 
 
Yeah, most times you cant hear em talk, other times you can 
All the same old clichs, is it woman? is it man?  
And you always seem outnumbered, you dont dare make a stand 
Make your stand 
 
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 
 
Oo-ooh, out there in the spotlight, youre 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, yeah 
 
Later in the evening, you lie awake in bed 
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringing in your head 
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said 
What she said 
 
He-ey 
 
Yeah 
And here I am - on the road again 
There I am - up on a stage 
Here I go - playing star again 
There I go - turn the page 
There I go - turn that page 
There I go, yeah, yeah 
There I go, yeah, yeah 
There I go, yeah 
There I go, yeah 
There I go, oo-oo-ooh 
There I go 
And Im gone
