Ridin’ Thumb

Lyrics

See the man on the blacktop highway Movin'  down to no man's land See  the man on the blacktop highway Movin' just as fast as he can Ridin' thumb, ridin' thumb Left  his home down in Macon, Georgia Left  the shade of an old oak tree Left his dreams in his left front pocket Squinted  his eyes towards the sea Ridin' thumb, ridin' thumb He don't care where the road goes As long as he gets his high He  don't care what's in the water He just lets his conscience be his guide Ridin' thumb, ridin' thumb Left his sister and his mama cryin' (cryin') Beggin' him not to leave that day (leave that day) Said he's bright and they knew he was a-lyin' (lyin') Got no razor, got no pay Ridin' thumb, ridin' thumb He don't care where the road goes As long as he gets his high He don't care what's in the water He just lets his conscience be his guide Ridin' thumb, ridin' thumb
