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 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
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
