Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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 aint no highway

I'm blowing by the double five

I know I'm going way too fast

Chourus

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 walking on a nowhere road

Verse 3

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, if you're going

The keeper of the gate is blind

So you better be prepared to pay

Chorus
