Paper Lace - The Night Chicago Died

Hitchin' a Ride

Back in Louisiana
My baby, Rosanna
Sittin' by the window
She waits for me
Here am I in Tucson
I'm puttin' my shoes on
Got a lotta highway ahead of me
Breaks my heart to know
She's all alone in the world
Won't 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 one 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 pourin' 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
Sittin' by the window
She waits for me
Here am I in Tucson
I'm puttin' my shoes on
Got a lotta highway ahead of me
Breaks my heart to know
She's all alone in the world
Won't somebody help me
Get to see my girl.
