I was walking down the highroad
Just passed a sign that said
That it was fifty-two miles to Pecos
So I just kept on moving ahead
And there ain't nobody in Pecos
No there ain't nobody I know
But when you live on the highroad
You just gotta have somewhere to go
Somewhere to go!
No, I don't know what I will do there
Guess I'll just hang around
Wash a few dishes; make a few bucks
And head for another town
'Cause there ain't nobody in Pecos
No there ain't nobody I know
But when you live on the highroad
You just gotta have somewhere to go
Somewhere to go!
Well I got chased outta Shreveport
'Cause they didn't like my kind
And in Denver I met a girl that wanted me to stay
But I couldn't 'cause I'd lose my mind!
There was MaryAnne in St. Louis
And Evelyn in San Antone
But when you live on the highroad
Ya' just gotta live alone
Gotta live alone!
I was walkin' down the highroad
Just passed a sign that said
That it was ninety-six miles to Boise
So I just kept on moving ahead
And there ain't nobody in Boise
No there ain't nobody I know
But when you live on the highroad
You just gotta have somewhere to go
Somewhere to go!
Well there ain't nobody no damn where
No there ain't nobody I know
But when you live on the highroad
You just gotta have somewhere to go
Somewhere to go!
