Steve Earle

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