Lyrics Jackie Lomax

Jackie Lomax

Thumbin' A Ride

I had myself a day job

Pumpin' gasoline

A dollar a day is all they pay

And I just can't make that scene

That's why I'm thumbin' a ride

Thumbin' a ride

Thumbin' a ride

On the road

If I could find some money

I'd straighten out right quick

But every time I get a dime

I spend it on some chick

That's why I'm thumbin' a ride

Thumbin' a ride

Thumbin' a ride

On the road

That's why I'm thumbin' a ride

Thumbin' a ride

Thumbin' a ride

On the road

I'm walking down the highway

Sweating like salt pork

I'm putting down this country town

'Cause my soul's up in New York

That's why I'm thumbin' a ride

Thumbin' a ride

Thumbin' a ride

On the road
