Hitch-hikers' Hero

You have seen him by the roadside

With his sun-striped inner will

He was one with them at Woodstock

He was there at Watkins Glen

He's a hitch-hiker's hero

King of the highway

He has been around the world and back again

Now, the children gather 'round him

And they ask him where he's been

And they look at him with wonder

And well, they wish that they were him

He's a hitch-hiker's hero

King of the highway

And they would follow him to Hell and back again

The children never see him

When the nights are dark and cold

When the cars are few, if any

He only wishes he was home

But that hitch-hiker's hero

He's gotta keep on going

Knowing not where he will be tomorrow

Hitch-hiker's hero

Gotta keep on going

Hitch-hiker's hero

Hitch-hiker's hero

Gotta keep on, gotta keep on going

Hitch-hiker's hero

King of the highway

Hitch-hiker's hero

King of the highway

He's gotta keep on, gotta keep on going
