If your drivinâ down the road and you come across an old man
Holdinâ out his thumb in the wind
His clothes are old and dirty and dirty that doesnât matter
Itâs his eyes that tell where heâs been
If youâre not afraid to take your chances on a stranger
He might have some company to lend
Why donât you pull off to the side and let that old man have a ride
He can tell you all the crazy things heâs seen
Iâm an old hitchhiker
The highway is the only home I know
Where youâre headed I donât mind
I ainât been there in some time
And itâs just exactly where I want to go
I can tell you how I started in the circus as a barker
Drawinâ people in from far and wide
They never did regret the dollar that it cost âem
We always left âem feelinâ good inside
We were headed for Montana when we hired us a dancer
Her beauty it was more than I can say
Then one summer night she set my soul on fire
Lord, I wish that she was here with me today
Iâm an old hitchhiker, I wonder whatâs a waitinâ âround the bend
I donât know what I might see and I donât need no guarantee
Just a ride from here to there and back again
I was only seventeen when I took the open highway
Took it for my teacher and a friend
Iâve been thirty years a-thumbinâ
Some might call it bumminâ
But itâs better than just cryinâ in the wind
So if youâre drivinâ down the road and you come across an old man holdinâ out his thumb in the rain
Why donât you pull off to the side let the poor boy have a ride
He can tell you all the crazy things heâs seen
Iâm an old hitchhiker lookinâ to the far side of the hill
Some people say Iâll settle down
Build a home in some small town
But within my heart I know I never will
Iâm an old hitchhiker
