Ridin’ Thumb Lyrics[Verse 1]
See the man on the blacktop highway
Movin' past a no man's land
All alone on the blacktop highway
Movin' just as fast as he can
[Refrain]
Ridin' thumb
Ridin' thumb
[Verse 2]
Left his home down in Macon, Georgia
Left the shade of an old oak tree
Got his dreams in his right front pocket
Got his eyes squinted towards the sea
[Refrain]
Ridin' thumb
Ridin' thumb
[Bridge]
Now he don't care where the road goes
Just as long, long as he gets to ride
And he don't need no food or water now
Just let his conscience be his guide
[Refrain]
Ridin' thumb
Ridin' thumb
[Verse 3]
Left his sister and his mama cryin'
Beggin' him not to leave that day
Said he'd write but they knew he was lyin'
Never got no raise, never got no pay
[Refrain]
Ridin' thumb
Ridin' thumb
