Hitchin' a Ride

Down in Louisiana, my baby, Rosanna

Sittin' by the window, she waits for me

Here am I in Tucson, I'm puttin' my shoes on

Got a lotta highway ahead of me

Breaks my heart to know she's all alone in the world

Won't somebody help me get to see my girl?

Ride, ride, ride

Hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride

Hitchin' a ride

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

To my baby's side

I 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

Down in Louisiana, my baby, Rosanna

Sittin' by the window, she waits for me

Here am I in Tucson, I'm puttin' my shoes on

Got a lotta highway ahead of me

Breaks my heart to know she's all alone in the world

Won't somebody help me get to see my girl?

Ride, ride, ride

Hitchin' a ride (hitchin' a ride)

Ride, ride, ride

Hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride

Hitchin' a ride (hitchin' a ride)

Ride, ride, ride

Hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

(Ooh, I'm hitchin' a ride)

Ride, ride, ride

Hitchin' a ride

Hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride
