A thumb goes up, a car goes by
It's nearly 1 a.m. and here am I,
hitching a ride, hitching a ride
Gotta get me home before the morning light.
I got no fare to ride a train
I'm nearly drowing in the pouring rain,
hitching a ride, hitching a ride
Gotta get me home to my baby's side.
|: Ride, ride, ride, hitching a ride :|
Long distance call I got today
She sounded lonely, so I'm on my way,
hitching a ride, hitching a ride
Gotta get me home to keep her satisfied.
Instrumental
|: Ride, ride, ride, hitching a ride :|
A thumb goes up, a car goes by
Oh, won't somebody stop and help a guy
hitching a ride, hitching a ride?
Been away too long from my baby's side.
