  A
A thumb goes up, a car goes by

It's nearly 1 a.m. and here am I
           D   E7           A
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
             D   E7              A
Gotta get me home by the morning light

  A
I got no fare to ride a train

I'm nearly drowin' in the pouring rain
           D   E7           A
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
             D   E7            A
Gotta get me home to my baby's side

D           E7               A
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
D           E7               A
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

A
Long distance call I got today

She sounded lonely so I'm on my way
           D   E7           A
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
             D   E7              A
Gotta get me home, keep her satisfied
