Roger Miller - Hitch-Hiker Lyrics

Hitch-hiker, hitch-hiker

Like a restless tiger you can't stand still

And you never will

Here I stand and the cars go by

Some of them honk and some just wave hi

It seems like life and the cars both just pass me by

Hitch-hiker

No special place to be going

I just go whichever way the winds blowin'

You know it's hot today

I'd kinda like to go where it's snowin'

Ah I dunno maybe I'll just stay here

where the green grass is growin'

Here comes another car I wonder

Is he slowing down, hitch-hiker

Hitch-hiker, hitch-hiker

like a restless tiger you can't stand still

And you never will

I guess boys all dream and so did I

My hands once reached to touch the sky

Is this the sky that I reached for

Just the dust of the road and nothin' more

Here comes another car

Hitch-hiker

Hitch-hiker, hitch-hiker

Like a restless tiger you can't stand still

And you never will
