A thumb goes up a car goes by
It's nearly 1 AM and here am I
Hitchin' a ride hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home before
the mornin' light
I've got no fare to ride a train
I'm nearly drownin'
in the pourin' 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
to keep her satisfied
Ride ride ride hitchin' a ride
Ride ride ride hitchin' a ride
A thumb goes up a car goes by
Won't somebody stop to help a guy
Hitchin' a ride hitchin' a ride
I've been away too long
from my baby's side
Ride ride ride hitchin' a ride
Ride ride ride hitchin' a ride
Ride ride Ride ride Ride ride
