Nowhere Road

[Verse 1] 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 [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 ain't no highway I'm blowing by the double five, I know I'm going way too fast [Chorus] I've 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, standing 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 rolling And you keep it on the yellow line, it'll take you on the big highway But there's a toll to pay, if you're going The keeper at the gate is blind so you better be prepared to pay [Chorus] I've 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, standing on the shoulder But you've come too far to go back home So you're walking on a nowhere road
