Lyrics

Was ridin' along side the highway, rollin' up the country side
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind?
Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road;
She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair;
Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care

Chorus:
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the greasy king
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound
Noticin' peculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster show me down
I turned away to see her, woa! she caught my eye
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast;
Do you wanna, she was thinkin' can it last

Chorus

Was busted up along the highway, I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride?
Here she comes a ridin', lord, she's flyin' high
But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast;
Do you wanna, she was thinkin' can I last

Chorus
