/************** TURN THE PAGE ***************/
by Waylon Jennings
Verse 1:
Em/ Em/
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
D/ D/
You can listen to the engine moaning out its one note song
A/ A/ Em
And you think about the woman or the girl the night before
Verse 2:
Em/ Em/
But your thoughts will soon be wondering the way they always do
D/ D/
When you re ridin sixteen hours and there s nothin much to do
A/ A/ Em
And you don t feel much like ridin you just wish the trip was through
Chorus:
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
Verse 3:
Well you walk into a restaurant 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
Verse 4:
Most times you can hear them talkin , other times you can t
All the same old cliches, is that a woman or a man
and you always seem outnumbered so you don t dare make a stand
Chorus
Verse 5:
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
Verse 6:
Em/
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
D/
Echoes from the amplifiers ringing in your head
A/ Em
And you smoke the day s last cigarette remembering what you said
Chorus 2 times.
