Verse 1

Was ridin' along side the highway, rollin' on the country side.
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind?
Saw a slight dis-traction standin' by the road.
She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair.
Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care?

Chorus

Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King. 
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Verse 2

Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' about the speed of sound.
Noticin' peculiar function, I'm no roller coaster slow it down.
I turned away to see her Woah! she caught my eye!
I was rollin' down, movin' too fast.
Do you wanna,sShe was thinkin', can it last?

Chorus

Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King. 
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Solo

      

Verse 3

Was busted up along the highway, I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive.
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't you give a po' boy a ride?
Here she comes a ridin', Lord, she's flyin' high.
She was rollin' down, movin' too fast.
Do you wanna, she was thinkin', can I last?
[Chorus] x3 to fade
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King. 
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
