My Way Of Life

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 cigarettes and a couple of cups

Of coffee sweepin' the local city cafe

Standing on the road

Walking down the highway

Ain't going nowhere

But that's my way of life

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

Ain't going nowhere

But that's my way of life
