There s a roadin Oklahoma
Straighter than a preacher
Longer than a memory
And it goesforever 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 alivebut I don t know how long I ll last
Cause it s just a roadit 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 nowhereit just brings you back again
Leaves you lonely and coldstandin on the shoulder
But you ve come too far to go back home
So you re walkin on a nowhere road

Some folks sayif you keep rollin
And keep it on the yellow line
It ll take you on the big highway
But there s a toll to payif you re going
The keeper of the gate is blind
So you better be prepared to pay
