CHORUS 1
I keep hitchin’ on the highway of life. And ain’t nobody pickin’ me up. I keep aimin’ to go where the luck’s gonna flow. Where the sunshine’ll fill my cup. I keep standin’ there wavin’ my thumb. Till the ache in my arm grows numb. Keep hopin’ for the ride to turn my tide. Keep lurchin’ on the sidelines. Searchin’ for the guidelines. Twitchin’ on the byways. Hitchin’ on the highway… of life.
VERSE
I try thumbin’ my way to the end… of a road that fails to bend. To a place I arrive where I get me high fives. And the key to the city. And the heart of a pretty is a fine little ditty to tend to!
CHORUS 2
Keep hitchin’ on the highway of life. And ain’t nobody stoppin’ today. I keep watchin’ ‘em slow to a crawl that’s o-nly a prelude to speedin’ away. Keep lookin’ in their eyes to see… how clear a window to a soul can be. Keep thumbin’ as my foes keep a thumbin’ their nose. Keep lurchin’ on the sidelines. Searchin’ for the guidelines. Twitchin’ on the byways. Hitchin’ on the highway… of life.
SOLO
VERSE
I try thumbin’ my way to the end… of a road that fails to bend. To a place I arrive where I get me high fives. And the key to the city. And the heart of a pretty is a fine little ditty to tend… to!
CHORUS 3
Keep hitchin’ on the highway of life. And still nobody’s gazing my way. I keep starin’ ‘em down with a grin, till a frown gets to beat it in a twelve round fray. Keep standin’ on the shoulder of fate. I need a pick-me-up before it’s too late. Keep uppin’ my chin till my ship comes in. I’m lurchin’ on the sidelines. Searchin’ for the guidelines. Strivin’ for the entry. Jivin’ for the gentry. Aimin’ to please as I bend to my knees. And I ask, “Goin’ My Way?” Twitchin’ on the byways. Hitchin’ on the highway. . . of life!
TAG
Car screeches to a halt, honks & female driver asks, “Need a lift?”
