My Way Of Life

(album: Take Good Care Of My Baby - 1968)

I'm all alone, walking down the highway
Ain't going nowhere, but that's my way of life

I never had no one to love me
Never a girl to call my own
Never would take a chance
To fool with romance
Guess I'm too used to being alone

Nobody wants a drifter
And I gotta keep moving on
Nothing to tie me down
When I wanna leave town
Nobody to miss me when I'm gone

I'm all alone, 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 turning a couple of jobs
In some ladies' backyard
I average 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
Sweeping the local city café

I'm all alone, walking down the highway
Ain't going nowhere, but that's my way of life
