Lyrics:

Standing on the road walking down the highway
Ain't going nowhere but that's my 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 cogarettes and a couple of cups of coffee sweepin' the local city cafe
Standing on the road walking down the highway...

I've never had no one to love me never've girl to call my own
I never would take a chance or fool with romance I guess I'm too used to being alone
Nobody wants a drifter and 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...
