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 [ ac.guitar ] I've worked in city factories their plastic dirt still clings to me Monotory 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... [ ac.guitar ] 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...
