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 it 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 come too far to go back home

So you're walkin' on a nowhere road

Some folks say if you keep rollin'

And you're keepin' 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 come too far to go back home

So you're walkin' on a nowhere road
