Well, I´m standin´ on the highway
Tryin´ to bum a ride, tryin´ to bum a ride,
Tryin´ to bum a ride.
Well, I´m standin´ on the highway
Tryin´ to bum a ride, tryin´ to bum a ride,

Tryin´ to bum a ride.
Nobody seem to know me,
Everybody pass me by.

Well, I´m standin´ on the highway
Tryin´ to hold up, tryin´ to hold up,
Tryin to hold up and be brave.
Well, I´m standin´ on the highway
Tryin´ to hold up, tryin to hold up and be brave.
One roads goin´ to the bright lights,
The others goin´ down to my grave.

Well, I´m lookin´ down at two card,
They seem to be handmade.
Well, I´m lookin´ down at two card,
They seem to be handmade.
One looks like it´s the ace of diamonds,
The other looks like it is the ace of spades.

Well, I´m standin´ on the highway
Watchin´ my life roll by.
Well, I´m standin´ on the highway
Watchin´ my life roll by.

Tryin´ to bum a ride.

Wonderin´ where everybody went, wonderin´ where everybody went,
Wonderin´ where everybody went.
Well, I´m standin´ on the highway
Wonderin´ where everybody went, wonderin´ where everybody went,
Wonderin´ where everybody went.
Please mister, pick me up,
I swear I ain´t gonna kill nobody´s kids.

I wonder if my good gal,
I wonder if she knows I´m here,
Nobody else seems to know I´m here.
I wonder if my good gal,
I wonder if she knows I´m here,
Nobody else seems to know I´m here.
If she knows I´m here, Lawd,
I wonder if she said a prayer.
