Standing on the road walking down the highway
Ain't going nowhere but that's our way of life

I never had a lot of 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...

I 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 too used to being alone
Nobody wants a drifter well I gotta keep moving on
There's nothing to tie me down when I wanna leave town
Nobody to miss me when I'm gone

Standing on the road walking down the highway...
