[00:14.91]Well now times got hard
[00:17.25]And i didn't draw the card i needed
[00:19.44]So i proceeded to bang it on down the line
[00:30.78]Hitchhike, turnpike
[00:32.40]And if you got room won't you let me ride?
[00:38.61]Just as far as you're going
[00:39.27]And lord knowing i'll be much obliged.
[00:44.79]There was a light rain falling
[00:46.92]I started recalling how lonesome a man can be
[00:52.74]Feeling a chill when over the hill
[00:56.28]Came a brand new baby blue cadillac
[00:58.74]Stop on a dime
[01:00.06]I threw my guitar in the back and i climbed inside
[01:07.02]Big blue eyes said "hey boy don't you want a ride?"
[01:13.59]I said to birmingham, alabama,
[01:24.09]Or to nashville tennessee will do just fine with me.
[01:27.42]Don't you know what i mean?
[01:31.41]I'm coming from new orleans.
[01:32.52]Now hey, [na na.]
[01:38.25]Mama won't you let me ride?
[02:48.45]Well now black fur coat, diamond ring
[02:49.95]Shining like something i ain't ever seen.
[02:52.56]My old guitar and a roadside bar.
[02:57.21]Walked in the door looking like a movie queen
[03:02.10]There was a honky tonk jukebox, hardwood floor
[03:06.33]She said　"i ain't ever seen nothing like this before."
[03:08.67]I said, "that's all right, mama won't you let me ride?"
[03:12.90]On down to birmingham, alabama,
[03:26.79]Or to nashville tennessee wiil do fine with me.
[03:33.51]Don't you know what i mean?
[03:37.17]I'm coming from new orleans.
[03:37.98]Now hey, [na na.]
[03:44.19]Mama won't you let me ride?
