Long, Long Texas Road

Long, Long Texas Road - 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

'Bout a million miles or so

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

I must have left that long old

Road seven hundred years ago

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

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

'Bout a million miles or so

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

I must have left that long old road

Seven hundred years ago

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