Sounds of the Seventies [1989] (compilation series) - Hitchin' A Ride lyrics

A thumb goes up, a car goes by It's nearly 1 AM and here am I Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride Gotta get me home by the mornin' light I've got no fare to ride a train I'm nearly drownin' in the pourin' rain Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride Gotta get me home to my baby's side Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride Long-distance call I got today She sounded lonely, so I'm on my way Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride Gotta get me home to keep her satisfied Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride A thumb goes up, a car goes by Won't somebody stop to help a guy Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride I've been away too long from my baby's side (several times): Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride (repeat and fade): Ride, ride
