(Sonny Curtis)
Standing on the road
Walking down the highway
Ain`t going nowhere
But that`s my way of life.
Well, I ain`t never had much ambition
But I always made my own way
By turnin` a couple of jobs in some ladies` backyard
I averaged about a dollar a day.
I wake up early each morning
And before I started on my way
I get some cigarettes and a couple of cups of coffee
A sweepin` the local city cafe.
Standing on the road
Walking down the highway
Ain`t going nowhere
But that`s my way of life.
Ain`t never had no one to love me
Never had girl to call my own
I never would take a chance to fool with romance
I guess I`m used to being alone.
Nobody wants a drifter
So I`ll keep moving on
There`s nothin` to tie me down
When I wanna leave town.
Nobody`s gonna miss me
When I`m gone.
Standing on the road
Walking down the highway
Ain`t going nowhere
But that`s my way of life...
