Lyrics:

A thumb goes up, a car goes by
It's nearly 1 a.m. and here am I
Hitchin' a ride (2x)
Gotta get me home by the morning light

I got no fare to ride a train
I'm nearly drownin' in the pouring rain
Hitchin' a ride (2x)
Gotta get me home to my baby's side

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride (2x)

Long distance call, I got today
She sounded lonely, so I'm on my way
Hitchin' a ride (2x)
Gotta get me home, keep her satisfied

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride (2x)

A thumb goes up, a car goes by
Oh, won't somebody stop and help a guy?
Hitchin' a ride (2x)
Been away too long from my baby's side

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride (4x)

Ride (10x)
