verse 1
 
GThere's (320003@1)a road, in Oklahoma
FStraighter (133211@1)than a preacher
C (x32010@1)           GLonger (320003@1)than a memory
GAnd (320003@1)it goes forever onward
FBeen (133211@1)a good teacher
C (x32010@1)                       Gfor (320003@1)a lot of country boys like me
 
verse 2
 
GI (320003@1)push that load, from here to someday
FI'll (133211@1)push as long as I'm alive
C (x32010@1)                       Gbut (320003@1)I don't know how long I'll last
G'cause (320003@1)it's just a road, it aint no highway
FI'm (133211@1)blowing by the double five

G (320003@1)Some folks say, if you keep rollin'
