I been down this road just searching' for the end It don't go nowhere, it just brings you back again Leaves you lonely and cold, standin' on the shoulder But you've come too far to go back home So you're walkin' on a nowhere road There's a road, in Oklahoma Straighter than a preacher Longer than a memory And it goes, forever onward Been a good teacher For a lot of country boys like me I push that load from here to someday I'll push as long as I'm alive, but I don't know how long I'll last 'Cause it's just a road, it ain't no highway I'm blowin' by the double five I know I'm going way too fast Some folks say, if you keep rollin' And keep it on the yellow line It'll take you on the big highway But there's a toll to pay, if you're going The keeper of the gate is blind So you better be prepared to pay
