Long Long Texas Road Lyrics - Roy Drusky

I've been up and I've been down 

I've worked the fields I've plowed the ground 

I've taken strain and pressure 

Till I thought I might explode 

Now I yearn for childhood days 

Of model planes and lemonade 

When the day stretched out before me 

Like a long, long Texas road 

Yes, a long, long Texas road 

'Bout a million miles or so 

When you're just a child there ain't no time but now 

Must have left that long old road seven hundred years ago 

And I'd find it once again if I knew how 

I've worked in city factories 

Their plastic dirt still clings to me 

Monitory near killed me 

Lord, it was a heavy load 

Now I dream of comic books 

And horny toads and fishin' hooks 

When the day stretched out before me 

Like a long, long Texas road 

Yes, a long, long Texas road 

So I watch the children play 

And dream my dreams of yesterday 

Don't tell them to be grateful 

I'm sure that they've been told 

If I knew then what I know now that 

Would have messed it up somehow 

When the day stretched out before me 

Like a long long Texas road 

Yes, a long long Texas road
