Hitchin' a Ride

Back 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 one 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 Been away too long From my baby's side Ride, ride, ride Hitchin' a ride Ride, ride, ride Hitchin' a ride Back 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.
