Thumbin` A Ride Lyrics

Thumbin` A Ride lyrics

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
