vanity fair - hitchin' a ride lyrics

(peter callender and mitch murray)
a thumb goes up, a car goes by
it's nearly 1 a.m. and here am i
hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
gotta get me home by the morning light

i got no fare to ride a train
i'm nearly drowin' in the pouring 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, keep her satisfied

[instrumental break]

ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

a thumb goes up, a car goes by
oh, won't somebody stop and help a guy?
hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
been away too long from my baby's side

ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

ride, ride
ride, ride
ride, ride
ride, ride
[fade]
