Bob Dylan — 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
