I'm all alone, walkin' down the highway Ain't goin' 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 bein' alone Nobody wants a drifter And I gotta keep moving on Nothin' to tie me down When I wanna leave town Nobody to miss me when I'm gone I'm all alone, walkin' down the highway Ain't goin' 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 average about a dollar a day I wake up early each mornin' And before I started on my way I get some cigarettes And a couple of cups of coffee Sweepin' the local city café I'm all alone, walkin' down the highway Ain't goin' nowhere, but that's my way of life
