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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
