Ray Charles - I Gotta Woman lyrics

Standing on the road walking down the highway

Ain't going nowhere but that's my way of life

Well I ain't never had much 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...

Ain't 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 used to being alone

Nobody wants a drifter so I'll keep moving on

There's nothin' to tie me down when I wanna leave town

Nobody's gonna miss me when I'm gone

Standing on the road...
