Hitch Hikin'

(album: Western Stars - 2019)

Thumb stuck out as I go
I'm just traveling up the road
Maps don't do much for me, friend
I follow the weather and the wind

I'm hitch hiking all day long
Got what I can carry and my song
I'm a rolling stone just rolling on
Catch me now 'cause tomorrow I'll be gone

Family man gives me a ride
Got his pregnant Sally at his side
Yes indeed, sir, children are a gift
Thank you kindly for the lift

I'm hitch hiking all day long

Trucker gears his engine down
Says, "Climb on up, son, I'm highway-bound"
Dashboard picture of a pretty girl
I'm riding high on top of the world

I'm hitch hiking all day long

Gearhead in a souped-up '72
Wants to show a kid just what this thing'll do
Telephone poles and trees go whizzing by
Thank you, pal, she sure can fly

I'm hitch hiking all day long
I'm hitch hiking all day long
I'm hitch hiking all day long
