Jackie Lomax - Thumbin' A Ride

Album:

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
