Canned Heat Road To Rio Lyrics

Road To Rio Lyrics

Well, I was livin' on the road

Couldn't get a decent meal

My baby,
she gave me a dirty deal

Now I'm hitchhikin' on the road to Rio

Tryin' to flag a ride from an automobile



Won't somebody stop
and let me ride?

Why don't you stop and let me ride?

Won't somebody
let me ride?

I'm movin' on down the line



I'm standing on the
road right by the side

Nobody knows how many tears I've cried

I've
even thought about suicide

I guess it must be time to take a ride



Won't somebody stop and let me ride?

Why don't you stop and let
me ride?

Won't somebody let me ride?

I'm movin' on down the line



--- Guitar Solo ---



Standin' on the road right by the
side

Watchin' all the cars keep passin' by

The sun's goin' down,
but I don't mind

I'm gonna catch a ride if it takes all night



Won't somebody stop and let me ride?

Why don't you stop and let me
ride?

Won't somebody let me ride?

I'm movin' on down the line



Now it was 2:00am and I was high and dry

These beautiful chick
gave me the eye

She opened the door and I slid by her side

And we
headed on down the line



I'm so glad she stopped and let me ride

Somebody finally let me ride

I'm so glad she stopped and let me ride

We're gonna boogie on down the line



Rio

One hundred miles
ahead

We're gonna moving on down the line
