Thumbin' A Ride |
| I had myself a day job |
| Pumpin' gasoline |
| A dollar a day is all they pay |
| And I just can’t make that scene |
| That’s why I’m thumbin' a ride |
| Thumbin' a ride |
| Thumbin' a ride |
| On the road |
| If I could find some money |
| I’d straighten out right quick |
| But every time I get a dime |
| I spend it on some chick |
| That’s why I’m thumbin' a ride |
| Thumbin' a ride |
| Thumbin' a ride |
| On the road |
| That’s why I’m thumbin' a ride |
| Thumbin' a ride |
| Thumbin' a ride |
| On the road |
| I’m walking down the highway |
| Sweating like salt pork |
| I’m putting down this country town |
| 'Cause my soul’s up in New York |
| That’s why I’m thumbin' a ride |
| Thumbin' a ride |
| Thumbin' a ride |
| On the road |
| Words and music by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller |
