Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

I'm ridin' my thumb uptown for to find me a score

There's a Manitoba man behind the fillin' station store

Man, he's got stuff that leaves every limb singin' for more

So I'm ridin' my thumb uptown for to find me a score


[Verse 2]

My good gal stood by me and I know she's the light of my life

But if I am to be truthful, I don't feel alive 'til it's night

When the hours I'm alone in the dark are the only in sight

But my good gal stood by me and I know she's the light of my life


[Verse 3]

But my time is past due and I ought to be movin' along

I've been kickin' my feet, wanderin' these streets for too long

My good gal, she tells me she's dreamin' of raisin' a son

But my time is past due, I ought to be movin' along


[Verse 4]

I reckon I'll make one last stop before I go

He's waitin' for me at the pumps, surely he knows

That twenty-four hours have passed since I last powdered my nose

So I reckon I'll make one last stop before I go
