This track sums up life on the road, playing gigs, going deaf, small town folks conversing about your hair. Bob Seger wrote it and Jimmy made it better. Don't believe me ? Listen for yourself. Jimmys tempo is bettering he's left out that depressing 80's sax that has ruined song after song
lyrics
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out its one-note 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 there to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through
Here I am, on a road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page
Well, you walk into a restaurant all 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
All the same old clichés, is it woman, is it man?
And you always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand
Here I am, on a road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing 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 from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said
Here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page
Here I am, on a road again
There I am, on the stage, yeah
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, there I go
Jimmy Winchell is a rock legend and cautionary tale. His career was derailed by drugs, women and a ruthless record label.
A lawsuit brought by his own management team stripped him of all publishing and copyright ownership + banned him from creating any original music.He redirected this energy into a series of thematic cover song albums on such topics as cocaine, wanderlust, and redemption....more
One of the best albums of the 90's, Home is at their best here combining elements of symphonic chamber rock and melodic lo-fi 4 track bedroom pop. There are no weak songs here, solid front to back. Jimmy Winchell
Been a fan since I picked up XIV in a CD shop in Orlando, Florida. Their name is impossible to search for so they are pretty much a mystery to me otherwise. Mike Monello
