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
