“Hitchhiker Man” Slip away the hours that wonder by Take in the days you’ve ridden hard and fast Rest back on milepost, let out a sigh Know sooner or later you’ll reach the coast Just stick out your thumb, you hitchhiker man and hitch a ride through this wilderness land Chase down that pickup truck, jump in the back Watch road peel away like a raceway track Life isn’t slow; hell life is a bit fast Don’t try and see far beyond kicked up dust Look downward; see what you’re movin’ on past So much thrill leaves you adrenaline-rushed Jumping out from truck and leather footin’ Up this burned out highway you’re a workin’ Take up all you got in this here world and come to know life is worth a twirl Come morn there’s your kind shadow, tall or short Racing out, giving it hell, surely sport Not seeing bounds like regular people do just heading out, fading into the blue An old truck driving fast ya understand Getting on by, but you’ll catch it up swift And stick your thumb out, Hitchhiker man with gleaming grin, so happy for a lift --- Slip away the hours that wonder by Take in the days you’ve ridden hard and fast Rest back on milepost, let out a sigh Know sooner or later you’ll reach the coast --- Wheat fields, lake shores, and wide mountain vistas Towns and cities, wild cattle and horses Trucks and truck stops, night lights and small farms young women holding baby’s in their arms All life shouldn’t be shut up in our heads Got to give ‘er freedom, give ‘er wings Life ain’t livin’ in the comfort of bed It’s livin’ everyday for what it brings Make your adventure when at a crossroads Take the steep path you may fear, oft will loath Stop workin’ for the man you’re a slave too life’s for gettin’, so unpocket this cue Just stick out your thumb, you hitchhiker man and hitch a ride through this wilderness land Chase down that pickup truck, jump in the back Watch road peel away like a raceway track Life’s just dust kicked up in the passing wind kept afloat as long as you’re going fast Can’t ever let the dust settle, my friend Got to keep ‘er going to make ‘er last …you hitchhiker man
