On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can hear the engine moanin' out his one long one note song
You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will be wandering 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 the trip was through
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star 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 shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear them talk, other times you can
All the same old clichй's, "Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
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 of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
(Are you guys ready?
One, two, three, one, two, three)
Yeah
Train, roll on, on down the line
Won't you, please, take me far, far away
Now I feel the wind blow, outside my door
And I'm, I'm leaving my woman at home (my baby's gone)
Tuesday's gone with the wind, yeah
My baby's gone, gone with the wind
Long gone
Jerry (yeeh!)
Pepper
And I don't know, where I'm going
I just want to be, left alone (ooh, yeah)
When this train ends, I'll try again, ooh
I'm leaving my woman at home (home)
My baby's gone (yeah)
Tuesday's gone with the wind (ooh, yeah)
Tuesday's gone (long gone) with the wind, yeah
Tuesday's gone, gone with the wind, yeah
My baby's gone with the wind
Train, roll on
Jump on
Yeah
Haha, yeah
Tuesday's gone with the wind (yeah, yeah)
Tuesday's gone with the wind, yeah
Tuesday's gone, long gone with the wind, yeah
My baby's gone with the wind
Train, roll on
Train, roll on, many miles from my home
See I'm, I'm riding my blues, babe, blues away, yeah
Tuesday, you see, ooh, she had to be free, yeah
But somehow I've got to, to carry on (my baby's gone)
Tuesday's gone with the wind
Tuesday's gone, long gone with the wind, Tuesday's gone
Tuesday's gone with the wind
My baby's gone with the wind
Train, roll on
Train, roll on (yeah)
Ride on train
Ride on train
Ride on train
Train, ride, train, ride on
Train, roll on
The train it rolls on
Train, roll on
Train, roll on
Lord, I can't change (I can't change)
Lord, I can't change (I can't change)
Lord, I can't change
Lord, I can't change, yeah (yeah-yeah / train, roll

I don't know how to live through this hell
Woken up, I'm still locked in his shell
Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
Break the ice I can't take it anymore
Freezing
Can't move at all
Screaming
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm trapped under ice
Crystalized as I lay here and rest
Eyes of glass stare directly at death
From deep sleep I have broken away
No one knows, no one hears what I say
Freezing
Can't move at all
Screaming
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm trapped under ice
Scream from my soul
Fate, mystified
Hell, forever more
No release from my cryonic state
What is this? I've been stricken by fate
Huh
I see that nothin's changed
Insist on playing games
Some waste of time you are
And you're so popular
Well this is it you bitch
I've got to make my switch
I'm just another john
I know what's goin' on
Your move
What do I have to lose?
Stalemate
No-oh, too late, too late
I thought you was for real
But you're a rip-off deal
Don't give me all that crap
I just escaped your trap
I think you see the joke
But you're just chasin' smoke
You ain't another one
I know what's goin' on
Your move
What do I have to lose?
Stalemate
Hello, too late, too late
Oh
Get on it!
Misunderstanding me
The way you feel so free
I'm gonna jump the gun
Oh I'm gonna hit an' run
Your credibility
All that is, was and will be
Universe much too big to see
Time and space never ending
Disturbing thoughts, Questions pending
Limitations of human understanding
Too quick to criticize
Obligation to survive
We hunger to be alive
All that is, Ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never
In the dark, See past our eyes
Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies
Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens
On a quest, Meaning, Reason
Came to be, How it begun
All alone in the family of the sun
Curiosity teasing everyone
On our home, Third stone from the sun
All that is, Ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never
On through the never
We must go
On through the never
Out to the
Edge of forever
We must go
Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty of the life I feel within
And when I'm branded
This mark of shame
Should I look down disgraced
Or straight ahead
And know that you must blame
[Chorus:]
I am the secret
I am the sin
I am the guilty
And I, I am the thorn within
Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Find me guilty when true guilt is from within
So point your fingers
Point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow me
One and the same are we
[Chorus]
I do your time
I take your fall
I'm branded guilty
Been here before couldn’t say I liked it
Do I start writing all this down?
Just let me plug you into my world
Can’t you help me be uncrazy?
Name this for me, heat the cold air
Take the chill off of my life
And if I could I’d turn my eyes
To look inside to see what’s comin’
It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive
Each moment here I die a little more
Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away
I’m frantic in your soothing amrs
I can not sleep in this down-filled world
I’ve found safety in this loneliness
But I can not stand it anymore
Cross my heard hope not to die
Swallow evil, ride the sky
Lost myself in a crowded room
You fool, you fool, it will be here soon
It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive
Each moment I die a little more
Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Treats me this way
And I wait for this train
Toes over the line
And then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away
Get the fuck out of here
I just wanna get the fuck away from me
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I hate it all, why? Why? Why me?
I cannot sleep with a haed like this
I wanna cry, I wanna scream
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I wanna hate it all away
Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you
Lay beside me, under wicked sky
The black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyse
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining...
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you...
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Come lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there...
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you...
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
(solo)
Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are you're eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes now I see it...
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you...
What I've felt, what I've known
So sick and tired, I

New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
