Standing by the side of the big old highway
Watching the cars rolling by
There's sure to be a driver who'll be going my way
And maybe I'll just catch his eye
And that's all I've got and that's all I've ever needed
Yesterday rollin' behind me
And a better day waiting to find me
Sitting in the back of a big Cadillac
That's winding its way through the morning sun
Get to the East Coast and a job on the tugboats
They don't pay much but it's sure to be fun
And that's all I've got
And that's all I've ever needed
The old town rollin' behind me
And another town waitin' to find me
Bedford Indiana
Headed for Savannah and the summertime
Going through Loredo on the way to San Diego
Got a woman in mind
She's a friend of mine and I'm half inclined to stay there
Gonna have to write me a long letter home
And tell them the places I've been
Tell them it'll be better if they'd just forget me
Till I've seen all the things I haven't seen
'Cause all I've got is all I've ever needed
Yesterday rollin' behind me and another day waitin' to find me
