verse 1
 
G5
There's a road, in Oklahoma
F5
Straighter than a preacher
C5             G5
Longer than a memory
G5
And it goes forever onward
F5
Been a good teacher
C5                         G5
for a lot of country boys like me
 
verse 2
 
G5
I push that load, from here to someday
F5
I'll push as long as I'm alive
C5                         G5
but I don't know how long I'll last
G5
'cause it's just a road, it aint no highway
F5
I'm blowing by the double five
C5                    G5
I know I'm going way too fast
 
Chourus
G5          C5               G5
I been down this road just searching for the end
D5          C5                 G5               D5
It don't go nowhere, it just brings you back again
G5                     G5
Leaves you lonely and cold, standin' on the shoulder
D5                          F5
But you've come too far to go back home
C5                      G5
So you're walking on a nowhere road
 
verse 3
G5 
Some folks say, if you keep rollin'
F5
And keep it on the yellow line
C5                         G5
It'll take you to the big highway
G5
But there's a toll to pay, if you're going
F5
The keeper of the gate is blind
C5                         G5
So you better be prepared to pay

Chorus
