Karaoké Nowhere Road Steve Earle

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

'Cos it's just a road

It ain't no highway

I'm blowin' by the double five

I know I'm goin' way too fast

I been down this road just searchin' for the end

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 you keep it on the yellow line it'll take you to the big highway

But there's a toll to pay if you're goin'

The keeper of the gate is blind so you better be prepared to pay

I been down this road just searchin' for the end

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
