Hitch Hiking Girl

 

Facing the cold of night on her own

hitch-hiking back

it’s a long way home

talking to people she’s never seen

to her it’s almost like a daily routine

 

Sharing her secrets with the moon

waiting by the roadside whistling a tune

people laughing stop and stare

she’s dressed like a scare-crow

but she don’t care

 

Crazy little hitch-hiking girl

traveling around the world

don’t pay tickets and don’t pay fares

she’s never scared

she’s living without a care

 

A long parade of red tail-lights

is fading slowly into the night

the morning sun will bring her back

safe to the place where she belongs
