| This song was first released on the Spirit album. It is the only album it has been released on. | |
| If you're drivin' down the road and you come across an old man | |
| Holdin' out his thumb in the wind | |
| His clothes are old and dirty and dirty that doesn't matter | |
| It's his eyes that tell where he's been | |
| If you're not afraid to take your chances on a stranger | |
| He might have some company to lend | |
| Why don't you pull off to the side and let that old man have a ride | |
| He can tell you all the crazy things he's seen | |
| I'm an old hitchhiker | |
| The highway is the only home I know | |
| Where you're headed I don't mind | |
| I ain't been there in some time | |
| And it's just exactly where I want to go | |
| I can tell you how I started in the circus as a barker | |
| Drawin' people in from far and wide | |
| They never did regret the dollar that it cost ‘em | |
| We always left ‘em feelin' good inside | |
| We were headed for Montana when we hired us a dancer | |
| Her beauty it was more than I can say | |
| Then one summer night she set my soul on fire | |
| Lord, I wish that she was here with me today | |
| I'm an old hitchhiker, I wonder what's a waitin' ‘round the bend | |
| I don't know what I might see and I don't need no guarantee | |
| Just a ride from here to there and back again | |
| I was only seventeen when I took the open highway | |
| Took it for my teacher and a friend | |
| I've been thirty years a-thumbin' | |
| Some might call it bummin' | |
| But it's better than just cryin' in the wind | |
| So if you're drivin' down the road and you come across an old man holdin' out his thumb in the rain | |
| Why don't you pull off to the side let the poor boy have a ride | |
| He can tell you all the crazy things he's seen | |
| I'm an old hitchhiker lookin' to the far side of the hill | |
| Some people say I'll settle down | |
| Build a home in some small town | |
| But within my heart I know I never will | |
| I'm an old hitchhiker | |
