G Am If you're riding down the road and you come across an old man D7 G holding out his thumb in the wind. Am Em Clothes are old and dirty, that doesn't matter, A7 D it's his eyes that tell you where he's been. G Am If you're not afraid to take your chances on a stranger, D7 G he might have some company to lend. Am Em Pull off to the side, let the old man have a ride. A7 D He'll tell you all the crazy things he's seen. Bb F G D I'm an old hitchhiker, highway is the only home I know. Bb F Where you headed, I don't mind. I ain't been there in some time, A7 D but it's just exactly where I wanna go. D Am I can tell you how I started in the circus as a barker D7 G calling people in from far and wide. Am Em They never did regret the dollar that it cost them, A7 D we always left 'em feeling good inside. G Am We were headed for Montana when we hired us a dancer, D7 G her beauty it was more than I can say. Am Em Then one summer night she set my soul on fire, A7 D Lord, I wish that she was here with me today. Bb F G D I'm an old hitchhiker, wonder what's awaiting round the bend. Bb F I don't know what I might see, I don't need no guarantee, A7 D just a ride from here to there and back again. G Am I was only seventeen when I took the open highway, D7 G took it for my teacher and a friend. Am Em I've been thirty years of thumbing, some might call it bumming, A7 D it's better than just crying in the wind. G Am If you're driving down the road and you come across an old man, D7 G holding out his thumb in the rain. Am Em You can pull off to the side, let the poor boy have a ride, A7 D he can tell you all the crazy things he's seen. Bb F G D I'm an old hitchhiker, looking to the far side of the hill. Bb F Some people say I'll settle down, build a home in some small town. A7 D But in my heart I know I never will, Bb F G D G I'm an old hitchhiker.
