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 lightI got no fare to ride a train
I'm nearly drownin' in the pouring rain
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home to my baby's sideRide, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a rideLong 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 satisfiedRide, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a rideA 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 sideRide, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a rideRide, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a rideRide, ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride
