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 But it's just a road and it ain't no highway And I'm blowin' by the double five I know I'm going way too fast I've been down this road just searching' for the end It don't go nowhere it just brings you back again And 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 Some folks say, if you keep going And you keep it on the yellow line It'll take you on the big highway But there's a toll to pay, so if you're going The keeper at the gate is blind So you better be prepared to pay I've been down this road just searching' for the end And it don't go nowhere it's just brings you back again And leaves you lonely and cold, standin' on the shoulder But you've come too far to go back home So you're walkin' on the nowhere road
