Standing on the Highway

Well, I’m standin’ on the highway

Tryin’ to bum a ride, tryin’ to bum a ride

Tryin’ to bum a ride

Well, I’m standin’ on the highway

Tryin’ to bum a ride, tryin’ to bum a ride

Tryin’ to bum a ride

Nobody seem to know me

Everybody pass me by

Well, I’m standin’ on the highway

Tryin’ to hold up, tryin’ to hold up

Tryin’ to hold up and be brave

Well, I’m standin’ on the highway

Tryin’ to hold up, tryin’ to hold up and be brave

One road’s goin’ to the bright lights

The other’s goin’ down to my grave

Well, I’m lookin’ down at two cards

They seem to be handmade

Well, I’m lookin’ down at two cards

They seem to be handmade

One looks like it’s the ace of diamonds

The other looks like it is the ace of spades

Well, I’m standin’ on the highway

Watchin’ my life roll by

Well, I’m standin’ on the highway

Watchin’ my life roll by

Well, I’m standin’ on the highway

Tryin’ to bum a ride

Well, I’m standin’ on the highway

Wonderin’ where everybody went,

wonderin’ where everybody went

Wonderin’ where everybody went

Well, I’m standin’ on the highway

Wonderin’ where everybody went,

wonderin’ where everybody went

Wonderin’ where everybody went

Please mister, pick me up

I swear I ain’t gonna kill nobody’s kids

I wonder if my good gal

I wonder if she knows I’m here

Nobody else seems to know I’m here

I wonder if my good gal

I wonder if she knows I’m here

Nobody else seems to know I’m here

If she knows I’m here, Lawd

I wonder if she said a prayer
