Bob Seger / Bob Seger: Back in '72 (1973)

	Em
	On a long and lonely highway, east of Omaha,

	D
You can	listen to the engine, moanin' out as one long song.

	A	Em
You can	think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night	before;

And your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do.

	D
When you're	riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do,

	A	Em
You	don't feel much like travelin', you just wish the trip was	through.

	Em
	You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road

	D
And you	feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold.

	A	Em
You	pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to	explode,

	Em
	Sometimes you hear 'em talkin', other times you can't.

	D
All the	same old cliches, is that a woman or a man.

	A	Em
And you	always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a	stand.

	Em
	Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away.

	D
	Every ounce of energy you try to give away,

	A	Em
And the	sweat pours from your body like the music that you	play.

	Em
	Later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed,

	D
	Echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head,

	A	Em
And you	smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she	said.
