My Way Of Life Lyrics - Dave Dudley

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
