Canned Heat

Road to Rio

Well, I was livin' on the road

Couldn't get a decent meal

My baby, she gave me a dirty deal

Now I'm hitchhikin' on the road to Rio

Tryin' to flag a ride from an automobile

Won't somebody stop and let me ride?

Why don't you stop and let me ride?

Won't somebody let me ride?

I'm movin' on down the line

I'm standing on the road right by the side

Nobody knows how many tears I've cried

I've even thought about suicide

I guess it must be time to take a ride

Won't somebody stop and let me ride?

Why don't you stop and let me ride?

Won't somebody let me ride?

I'm movin' on down the line

Standin' on the road right by the side

Watchin' all the cars keep passin' by

The sun's goin' down, but I don't mind

I'm gonna catch a ride if it takes all night

Won't somebody stop and let me ride?

Why don't you stop and let me ride?

Won't somebody let me ride?

I'm movin' on down the line

Now it was 2:00am and I was high and dry

These beautiful chick gave me the eye

She opened the door and I slid by her side

And we headed on down the line

I'm so glad she stopped and let me ride

Somebody finally let me ride

I'm so glad she stopped and let me ride

We're gonna boogie on down the line

Rio

One hundred miles ahead

We're gonna moving on down the line
