Sitting by a lonely 
Kansas road
A car goes rushing by
At the rate of one an hour
Want a lift into the nearest town
And judging by the sky
We're heading for a shower
Ooh, ooh, ooh...
I'm a half a million miles from home
Hey there, man
Don't step upon the gas
There's room enough inside
And I'm very tired of walking
I don't wanna do you any harm
I just wanna get a ride
And I'm very good at talking
Ooh, ooh, ooh...
I'm a half a million miles from home
Now the telegraph begins to hum
There's a message on the wire
An electric conversation
Well, ain't that life
I'm saying to myself
There's an awful lot of words
But there's no communication
Ooh, ooh, ooh...
I'm a half a million miles from home
Ooh, ooh, ooh...
I'm a half a million miles from home
Ooh, ooh, ooh...
I'm a half a million miles from home
