Ridin' Thumb

(앨범: Exile - 1973)

See the man on the blacktop highway
Moving down to no man's land
See the man on the blacktop highway
Moving just as fast as he can
Riding thumb, riding thumb

Left his home down in Macon, Georgia
Left the shade of an old oak tree
Left his dreams in his left front pocket
Squinted his eyes towards the sea
Riding thumb, riding thumb

He don't care where the road goes
As long as he gets his high
He don't care what's in the water
He just lets his conscience be his guide
Riding thumb, riding thumb

Left his sister and his mama crying (cryin')
Begging him not to leave that day (leave that day)
Said he's bright and they knew he was a-lying (lyin')
Got no razor, got no pay
Riding thumb, riding thumb

He don't care where the road goes
As long as he gets his high
He don't care what's in the water
He just lets his conscience be his guide
Riding thumb, riding thumb
