My Way of Life
Sonny Curtis
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
CHORUS
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
