Verse 1

G
There's a road, in Oklahoma
F                           C
Straighter than a preacher
               G
Longer than a memory
G
And it goes, forever onward
F
Been a good teacher
C                             G
For a lot of country boys like me



Verse 2


G
I push that load from here to someday
                                                           F   
I'll push as long as I'm alive, 
C                         G
but I don't know how long I'll last
G
Cause it's just a road, it ain't no highway
F
I'm blowin' by the double five
C                           G
I know I'm going way too fast


Chorus

G
I been down this road just searching' for the end
D                     C  
It don't go nowhere, it just brings you back again
G
Leaves you lonely and cold, standin' on the shoulder
D                     C
But you've come too far to go back home
G
So you're walkin' on a nowhere road


Verse 3
G
Some folks say, if you keep rollin'
F
And keep it on the yellow line
C
It'll take you on the big highway
G
But there's a toll to pay, if you're going
F
The keeper of the gate is blind
C
So you better be prepared to pay
