Ashley Purdy - Turn The Page lyrics

On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine's moanin'
Out his one note song
You can 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' sixteen hours and
There's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin'
You just wish your trip was through

Here I am, on the road again
There I am, oh, up on the stage
Here I go, playin' the star again
And there I go, turn a page

So you walk into this restaurant
You're strung out from the road
You can feel the eyes upon you
As you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
You just want to explode
But most times you can't hear 'em talk
Other times you can
All the same old clichés
"Is that a woman or a man?"
Then you always seem outnumbered
You don't dare make a stand

But here I am, oh, on the road again
There I am, oh, up on the stage
Here I go, playin' the star again
There I go, turn a page

Out there in the spotlight
You're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
And 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
Ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Remembering what she said (What she said)

But here I am, oh, on the road again
And there I am, oh, up on the stage
Here I go, playin' the star again
And there I go, turn a page
Here I am, on the road again
And there I am, oh, up on the stage
Here I go, playing the star again
There I go, there I go turn the page
