Nowhere Road

There's a road in Oklahoma

Straigher 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 somewhere

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' onthe 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'

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' onthe shoulder

But you've come too far to go back home

So you're walkin' on a nowhere road
