[Chorus]
Standin' on a road
Walkin' down a highway
Ain't going nowhere
But that's my way of life

[Verse 1]
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 café

[Chorus]
Standin' on a road
Walkin' down a highway
Ain't going nowhere
But that's my way of life

[Verse 2]
Ain't never had no one to love me
Never a girl to call my own
I never would take the 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 want to leave town
Nobody's gonna miss me when I'm gone
[Chorus]
Standin' on a road
Walkin' down a highway
Ain't going nowhere
But that's my way of life
