Long, Long Texas Road Songtext
von 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

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
