Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was on her way to find her mama Everything she owned in a red suitcase She followed the road along the river And she sang to herself when it turned late [Chorus] Ooh, little hitchhiker Ooh, you're on your way Ooh, little hitchhiker You're gonna find what you're lookin' for someday [Verse 2] She awoke in a field full of flowers Near the bend in the old highway Held her thumb out for hour and hours But the cars just passed by her day after day [Chorus] Ooh, little hitchhikеr Ooh, you're on your way Ooh, little hitchhiker You'rе gonna find what you're lookin' for someday [Verse 3] I remember the night I came upon her I pulled over, she flashed a sweet smile And her story sounded strangely familiar I had that same red suitcase as a child [Chorus] Singin' ooh, little hitchhiker Ooh, you're on your way Ooh, little hitchhiker You're gonna find what you're lookin' for someday, yeah [Verse 4] They found a red bag floating in the river And a rag doll washed up on the banks It's been thirty years and they never found her Legend goes she still roams these old highways I guess sometimes Mother Road can't keep you safe
