There's a road, in Oklahoma   Straighter than a preacher   Longer than a memory   And it goes, forever onward   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 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 of the gate is blind   So you better be prepared to pay
