our way of life lyrics

Standing on the road, walking down the highway
Ain't going nowhere but that's our 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
A sweepin' the local city cafe

Standing on the road, walking down the highway
Ain't going nowhere but that's our way of life

I 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 too used to being alone

Nobody wants a drifter
Well, 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 our way of life
Standing on the road, walking down the highway
Ain't going nowhere but that's our way of life
