Hitch-hiker Lyrics - Roger Miller

Hitch-hiker, hitch-hiker 

Like a restless tiger you can't stand still 

And you never will 

Here I stand and the cars go by 

Some of them honk and some just wave hi 

It seems like life and the cars both just pass me by 

Hitch-hiker 

No special place to be going 

I just go whichever way the winds blowin' 

You know it's hot today 

I'd kinda like to go where it's snowin' 

Ah I dunno maybe I'll just stay here 

where the green grass is growin' 

Here comes another car I wonder 

Is he slowing down, hitch-hiker 

Hitch-hiker, hitch-hiker 

like a restless tiger you can't stand still 

And you never will 

I guess boys all dream and so did I 

My hands once reached to touch the sky 

Is this the sky that I reached for 

Just the dust of the road and nothin' more 

Here comes another car 

Hitch-hiker 

Hitch-hiker, hitch-hiker 

Like a restless tiger you can't stand still 

And you never will
