HITCH-HIKIN' GIRL

Words & Music by: Piet Louter

Lost on a lonely road, thumbin' a ride
Dressed in old and dirty jeans, I felt pity on that sight
She offered me some company in truck for a drive
"Well, don't be surprised at me" she said, "thumbin' that's my life"

So we drove down the highway, with a long road ahead
It seemed to be the half so long by the distraction that I get
"I took in many jobs" she told, "to keep me alive"
"I wasn't gonna take for long, cause thumbin' is my life"

She said, "I'm just a hitch-hikin' girl
a-thumbin' rides for both directions
I'll may be at the mercy of a fool
I'll may be lucky with a lover too
I use to be a hitch-hikin' girl
And I may get you a sweet distraction
Where you mean to ride, oh it's just all right
It's where I wanna go"

When arrivin' in my home I asked her to be my guest
"We have a lot of good things here" I said, but I spent my breath
So she left here to go on thumbin', in which life she fell
But what's the use of my own settled life, I felt pity on myself

She said, "I'm just a hitch-hikin' girl
a-thumbin' rides for both directions
I'll may be at the mercy of a fool
I'll may be lucky with a lover too
I use to be a hitch-hikin' girl
And I may get you a sweet distraction
Where you mean to ride, oh it's just all right
It's where I wanna go"
Oh oh, Where you mean to ride, oh it's just all right
It's where I wanna go"
