Lyrics:

A thumb goes up, a car goes by It's nearly 1 a.m. and here am I Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride Gotta get me home, by the morning light Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride To ride a train I'm nearly drowin in the pouring rain Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride Gotta get me home I got no fare Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride I got a long distance call today She sounded lonely so I'm on my way Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride Gotta get me home to be by my baby's side Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride A car goes by, oh won't somebody stop And help a guy hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride Been away too long from my baby's sie Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride A thumb goes up Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
