Lyrics

Aho!
 There's a road, in Oklahoma
 Straighter than a preacher
 Longer than a memory
 And it goes, forever onward
 He'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
 I'm blowin' by the double five
 I know I'm going way too fast
 I 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
 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 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
 I 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
 Standin' on the shoulder
 But you've come too far to go back home
 So you're walkin' on a nowhere road
 ♪
 Hey!
