Hitchhiker

If you're drivin' down the road and you come across an old man

Holdin' out his thumb in the wind

His clothes are old and dirty that doesn't matter

It's his eyes that tell you where he's been

If you're not afraid to take your chances on a stranger

He might have some company to lend

Pull off to the side, let that old man have a ride

He can tell you all the crazy things he's seen

I'm an old hitchhiker, the highway is the only home I know

Where you're headed I don't mind

I ain't been there in some time

And it's just exactly where I want to go

I can tell you how I started in the circus as a barker

Drawin' people in from far and wide

They never did regret the dollar that it cost 'em

We always left 'em feelin' good inside

We were headed for Montana when we hired us a dancer

Her beauty it was more than I can say

Then one summer night she set my soul on fire

Lord, I wish that she was here with me today

I'm an old hitchhiker, I wonder what's a waitin' 'round the bend

I don't know what I might see and I don't need no guarantee

Just a ride from here to there and back again

I was only seventeen when I took the open highway

Took it for my teacher and a friend

I've been thirty years a-thumbin', some might call it bummin'

It's better than just cryin' in the wind

If you're drivin' down the road and you come across an old man

Holdin' out his thumb in the rain

You can pull off to the side, let the poor boy have a ride

He can tell you all the crazy things he's seen

I'm an old hitchhiker lookin' to the far side of the hill

Some people say I'll settle down

Build a home in some small town

But within my heart I know I never will

I'm an old hitchhiker, yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
