(Sonny Curtis)      Standing on the road   Walking down the highway   Ain't going nowhere   But that's my way of life.      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 cafe.      Standing on the road   Walking down the highway   Ain't going nowhere   But that's my way of life.      Ain't 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 used to being alone.      Nobody wants a drifter   So I'll keep moving on   There's nothin' to tie me down   When I wanna leave town.      Nobody's gonna 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...
