I swear if one more car goes by I'm gonna break down and cry
I swear if one more car goes by I'm gonna break down and cry
Cause my thumb got no respect on this road
Can't even get me one damn ride

Had my suitcase in one hand and my guitar at my side
Cadillac's and Chevrolets cruised on and passed me by
And my stomach is kinda empty
And my throat is kinda dry

I got the Hitchhikin' blues
I got the Hitchhikin' blues
Yeah I'm down and dirty, I got nothin' left to lose
I got the I-95, I-75, New Jersey Turnpike
Hitchhikin' blues

Ain't got no bed to sleep on tonight, no place to call my home
Ain't got no slick fast automobile, ain't got no fancy clothes
And I ain't comin' from nowhere special
And I ain't got no place to go

I got the hitchhikin' blues
I got the hitchhikin' blues
Yeah I'm down and dirty, I got nothin' left to lose
I got the I-95, I-75, New Jersey Turnpike
Hitchhikin' blues

So pull on over brother, I'm tired, I need a ride
Come on over mama, come on over to my side
Cause this old highway worn out my shoes
I got the hitchhikin' blues
