Turn the Page

On a long and lonesome 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

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 was riding

You just wish the trip was through

Say...

{Refrain}

Here I am - on the road again

There I am - up on the stage

Here I go - playing start again

There I go - turn the page

Well, you walk into a restaurant

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

Oh, the same old cliches

Is that a woman or a man

And you always seem outnumbered

You don't dare make a stand

{Refrain}

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

Ringing in your head

You smoke the day's last cigarette

Remembrin' what she said

Ah...

{Refrain x 2}
