| Caught a ride into South Dakota
|
| With two girls in a light blue Desoto
|
| One’s name was Jane, the other was plain
|
| But they both had racing motors
|
| Next I caught a ride with a gamblers wife
|
| She had a brand new lay down Rambler
|
| She parked inside of town, layed the Rambler down
|
| She said she sure could dig if I’d do her
|
| I’m doing my best to get back to you
|
| Ain’t nothing I’d rather do
|
| Look for me someday, gonna be there, honey
|
| With something special just for you
|
| Special just for you
|
| Made a truck stop for toothpicks and water
|
| I got a ride from a fruit pickers daughter
|
| Drove her through the night, while her fruit got ripe
|
| She gave me all I could eat for a quarter
|
| Next, hopped a train with a hobo woman
|
| Said she’s from Texas too
|
| The way that she did, what she did
|
| When she did, what she did to me, made me think of you
|
| Yeah, honey, made me think of you
|
| I’m doing my best to get back to you
|
| Ain’t nothing I’d rather do
|
| Look for me someday, gonna be there, honey
|
| With something special just for you
|
| Special just for you
|
| Yeah, honey something special just for you
|
| Original has this additional verse
|
| I bet all my money on a race horse baby
|
| One day the set came loose
|
| Now I’m standing here in the pooring rain, just trying to get to you
|
| Just trying to get to you |
