Turn The Page

On a long and lonesome highway

East of Omaha

You can listen to the engines moanin'

Out this one-note song

You'd 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' 16 hours

There's nothin' much to do

And 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

There I go playin' the star again

There I go, turn the page

So you walk into this restaurant

All strung out from the road

And you 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

Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk

Other times you can

All the same old clichés

Is it woman, is it man?

And you always seem outnumbered

You don't dare make a stand

Make your stand

Here I am, on the road again

There I am, up on the stage

Here I go playin' the star again

There I go, turn the page

Oh-oh, out there in the spotlight

You're a million miles away

Every ounce of energy

You try and give away

As the sweat pours out your body

Like the music that you play, yeah

Later in the evenin'

As you lie awake in bed

With the echoes of the amplifiers

Ringin' in your head

You smoke the day's last cigarette

Rememberin' what she said

What she said

Yeah

Yeah, and here I am, on the road again

There I am, up on the stage

Here I go, playin' the star again

And there I go, turn the page

And there I go, turn that page

There I go, yeah-yeah

There I go, yeah-yeah

There I go, yeah

Here I go, yeah

There I go

There I go

And I'm gone
