Nowhere Road — текст песни (Steve Earle)

Theres a road, in oklahoma

Straighter than a preacher

Longer than a memory

And it goes, forever onward

Been a good teacher

For a lot of country boys like me



I push that load from here to someday

Ill push as long as Im alive, but I dont know how long Ill last

cause its just a road, it aint no highway

Im blowin by the double five

I know Im going way too fast



I been down this road just searching for the end

It dont go nowhere, it just brings you back again

Leaves you lonely and cold, standin on the shoulder

But youve come too far to go back home

So youre walkin on a nowhere road



Some folks say, if you keep rollin

And keep it on the yellow line

Itll take you on the big highway

But theres a toll to pay, if youre going

The keeper of the gate is blind

So you better be prepared to pay
