From the recording Lost Riders
Lyrics
On life’s lonely lost highway, I’m desperately missing my home! So with my thumb stuck out, I’m headed back South to a place where I’ll be no more alone. On the side of the road with my thumb stuck out; no, I don’t want you to die. Those rumors aren’t true, no I’d never hurt you. I only need a ride. Well, the TV shows and the scary movies have painted me as a bad guy. But I wouldn’t hurt you, son, no I don’t even own a gun, well, I swear to the sweet by-and-by. On the side of the road with my thumb stuck out; no, I don’t want you to die. Those rumors aren’t true, no I’d never hurt you. I only need a ride. On the side of the road with my thumb stuck out; no, I don’t want you to die. Those rumors aren’t true, no I’d never hurt you. I swear to the sweet by-and-by, I only need a ride.
