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
