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 drowin' 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
<instrumental break>
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, hitchin' a ride
ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
ride, ride
ride, ride
ride, ride
ride, ride
fade
ride, ride
