Standing on the Highway (Witmark Demo - 1962)

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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 going to the bright lights

The other’s going down to my grave

[Verse 4]

Well, I’m standin' on the highway

Vision clear

Well, I’m standin' on the highway

Vision clear

Everybody passin' me by

Nobody seem to know I'm here

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

Tryin' to bum a ride
