作曲：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
