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

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride



To ride a train I'm nearly drowin in the pouring rain

Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride

Gotta get me home I got no fare

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride



I got a long distance call today

She sounded lonely so I'm on my way

Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride

Gotta get me home to be by my baby's side

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride



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 sie

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

A thumb goes up

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
