There's a road in Oklahoma
Straigher than a preacher, longer than a memory
And it goes forever onward
It's been a good teacher for a lot of country boys like me
I push that load from here to somewhere
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
Blowin' by the double-five, I know I'm goin' way too fast
I've been down this road, just searchin' for the end
And it don't go nowhere, it just brings you back again
Leaves you lonely and cold, standin' onthe 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 to the big highway
But there's a toll to pay, so if you're goin'
The keeper of the gate is blind, so you better be prepared to pay
I've been down this road, just searchin' for the end
And it don't go nowhere, it just brings you back again
Leaves you lonely and cold, standin' onthe shoulder
But you've come too far to go back home
So you're walkin' on a nowhere road
