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 |
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 |
