Hitchin’ A Ride ‘74 - Paper Lace

Back in Louisiana my baby Rosanna

Sitting by the window she waits for me

Here am I in Tucson I’ve booting my shoes on

Got a lot of highway ahead on me

Breaks my heart to know she’s so alone in the world

Want 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 1 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 pouring 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

Sitting by the window she waits for me

Here am I in Tucson I’ve booting my shoes on

Got a lot of highway ahead on me

Breaks my heart to know she’s so alone in the world

Want somebody help me get to see my girl?

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
