Long Long Texas Road

I've been up and I've been down
 I've worked the fields I've plowed the ground
 I've taken strain and pressure
 Till I thought I might explode
 Now I yearn for childhood days
 Of model planes and lemonade
 When the day stretched out before me
 Like a long, long Texas road
 Yes, a long, long Texas road
 'Bout a million miles or so
 When you're just a child there ain't no time but now
 Must have left that long old road seven hundred years ago
 And I'd find it once again if I knew how
 I've worked in city factories
 Their plastic dirt still clings to me
 Monitory near killed me
 Lord, it was a heavy load
 Now I dream of comic books
 And horny toads and fishin' hooks
 When the day stretched out before me
 Like a long, long Texas road
 Yes, a long, long Texas road
 So I watch the children play
 And dream my dreams of yesterday
 Don't tell them to be grateful
 I'm sure that they've been told
 If I knew then what I know now that
 Would have messed it up somehow
 When the day stretched out before me
 Like a long long Texas road
 Yes, a long long Texas road
