Hitchin' a Ride

A thumb goes up, a car goes by.

It's nearly 1 a.m. and here am I,

Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride.

Gotta get me home by the morning light.

I got no fare to ride a train.

I'm nearly drowning in the pouring rain,

Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride.

Gotta get me home to my baby's side.

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride.

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride.

Long-distance call I got today.

She sounded lonely, so I'm on my way,

Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride.

Gotta get me home, keep her satisfied.

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride.

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride.

A thumb goes up, a car goes by.

Oh, won't somebody stop and help a guy?

Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride.

Been away too long from my baby's side.

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride.

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride.

Ride, ride.

Ride, ride.

Ride, ride.

Ride, ride.

Ride, ride.

Ride, ride.
