Nowhere Road

There's a road in Oklahoma
 Straighter 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 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
 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' 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 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' on the shoulder
 But you've come too far to go back home
 So you're walkin' on a nowhere road
