Lyrics John Fogerty

John Fogerty

Sweet Hitch-Hiker

Was ridin' along side the highway,

Rollin' up the countryside.

Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave,

What you burn in your crazy mind?

Saw a slight distraction

Standin' by the road.

She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair.

"Do you wanna," I was thinkin', "would you care?"

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,

We could make music at the Greasy King.

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,

Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Cruisin' on thru the junction,

I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound.

Noticin' peculiar function,

I ain't no roller coaster; show me down.

I turned away to see her,

Whoa, she caught my eye.

But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast.

"Do you wanna," she was thinkin', "can it last?"

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,

We could make music at the Greasy King.

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,

Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Was busted up along the highway,

I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive.

Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way,

Won't you give a poor boy a ride?

Here she comes a-ridin',

Lord, she's flyin' high.

But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast.

"Do you wanna," she was thinkin', "can I last?"

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,

We could make music at the Greasy King.

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,

Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,

We could make music at the Greasy King.

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,

Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,

We could make music at the Greasy King.

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,

Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,

We could make music at the Greasy King...
