And it goes forever onward

Been a good teacher

for a lot of country boys like me
verse 2
G
I push that load, from here to someday

F
I'll push as long as I'm alive

C                         G
but I don't know how long I'll last

'cause it's just a road, it aint no highway

I'm blowing 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

So you're walking on a nowhere road

G 
Some folks say, if you keep rollin'

F
And keep it on the yellow line

C                         G
It'll take you to the big highway

G
But there's a toll to pay, if you're going

F
The keeper of the gate is blind

C                         G
So you better be prepared to pay
