Waylon Jennings Nowhere Road
There's a road in Oklahoma
Straighter than a preacher, longer than a memory
And it goes forever onward
It's 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
Blowin' by the double five, I know I'm goin' way too
fast
I've been down this road just searchin' for the end
And 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 to the
big highway
But there's a toll to pay, so if you're goin'
The keeper of the gate is blind so you better be
prepared to pay
I've been down this road just searchin' for the end
And 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
