Lyrics

CHORUS

I keep hitchin' on the highway of life. And ain't nobody pickin' me me up
I keep aimin' to go where the luck's gonna flow. Where the sunshine'll fill my cup
I keep standin' there wavin' my thumb. Till the ache in my arm grows numb
Keep hopin' for the ride to turn my tide. Keep lurchin' on the sidelines
Searchin' for the guidelines
Twitchin' on the byways
Hitchin' on the highway of life

VERSE

I try thumbin' my way to the end of a road that fails to bend
To a place I arrive where I get me high fives. And the key to the city
And the heart of a pretty is a fine little ditty to tend to

CHORUS

Keep hitchin' on the highway of life. And ain't nobody stoppin' today
I keep watchin' 'em slow to a crawl that's only a prelude to speedin' away
Keep lookin' in their eyes to see how clear a window to a soul can be
Keep thumbin' as my foes keep a thumbin' their nose. Keep lurchin' on the sidelines
Searchin' for the guidelines
Twitchin' on the byways
Hitchin' on the highway of life

SOLO

VERSE

CHORUS

Keep hitchin' on the highway of life. And still nobody's gazing my way
I keep starin' 'em down with a grin till a frown gets to beat it in a twelve round fray
Keep standin' on the shoulder of fate. I need a pick-me-up before it's too late
Keep uppin' my chin till my ship comes in. I'm lurchin' on the sidelines
Searchin' for the guidelines
Strivin' for the entry
Jivin' for the gentry
Aimin' to please as I bend to my knees
And I ask, "Goin' My Way?" Twitchin' on the byways. Hitchin' on the highway of life

Car screeches to a halt, honks & female driver asks, "Need a lift?"
