Hitchin A Ride:Vanity Fare.
#16 in UK and #5 in USA in 1970.
#1.
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 drowing
in the pouring rain..
hitchin a ride, hitchin a ride..gotta get me home,
to my baby s side.
CHORUS:
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin a ride.
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin a ride.
#2.
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.
(INTERLUDE:)
CHORUS:
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin a ride.
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin a ride.
#3.
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.
CHORUS:
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin a ride.
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin a ride.
CHORUS:
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin a ride.
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin a ride.
OUTRO:
Ride, ride...(x5)(Fade.)
