Nowhere Road Lyrics - Steve Earle

Oh, there's a road, in Oklahoma 

Straighter than a preacher 

Longer than a memory 

And it goes, forever onward 

He'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 

I'm blowin' by the double five 

I know I'm going way too fast

I been down this road just searching' 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 on the big highway 

But there's a toll to pay 

If you're going 

The keeper at the gate is blind 

So you better be prepared to pay

I been down this road just searching' 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, hey
