Standing by the highway 
Looking for a ride 
Standing by the highway 
Looking for a ride 
Sad out on the streets you know 
The only friend the blues by my side 

Wait a second hour 
Seems like forty days 
Wait a second hour 
Seems like forty days 
People passing by and stare 
The looks they gave makes you send me in my grave 

Hitch-hike on the highway 
I ain't no one to fear 
Hitch-hike on the highway 
I ain't no one to fear 
Headed for the open road 
Pack on back, I'm doing what I can
