Hitchin' A Ride A thumb goes up, a car goes by. It's nearly one a. m. and here am I Hitching' a ride, Hitching' a ride. Gotta get me home By the morning light. I got no fare to ride a train, I'm nearly drowning in the pouring rain Hitching a ride, Hitching a ride. Gotta get me home To my baby's side. Long distant call l got today, She sounded lonely so I'm on my way Hitching a ride, Hitching a ride. Gotta get me home To my baby's side. 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
