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.
