[Verse 1]
Well, I'm standing on the highway
Trying to bum a ride, Trying to bum a ride
Trying to bum a ride
Well, I'm standing on the highway
Trying to bum a ride, Trying to bum a ride
Trying to bum a ride
Nobody seem to know me
Everybody pa** me by
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm standing on the highway
Trying to hold up, Trying to hold up
Trying to hold up and be brave
Well, I'm standing on the highway
Trying to hold up, Trying to hold up and be brave
One road's going to the bright lights
The other's going down to my grave
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm looking down at two cards
They seem to be handmade
Well, I'm looking down at two cards
They seem to be handmade
One looks like it's the ace of diamonds
The other looks like it is the ace of spades
[Verse 4]
Well, I'm standing on the highway
Watching my life roll by
Well, I'm standing on the highway
Watching my life roll by
Well, I'm standing on the highway
Trying to bum a ride
[Verse 5]
Well, I'm standing on the highway
Wondering where everybody went
Wondering where everybody went
Wondering where everybody went
Well, I'm standing on the highway
Wondering where everybody went
Wondering where everybody went
Wondering where everybody went
Please mister, pick me up
I swear I ain't gonna k** nobody's kids
[Verse 6]
I wonder if my good gal
I wonder if she knows I'm here
Nobody else seems to know I'm here
I wonder if my good gal
I wonder if she knows I'm here
Nobody else seems to know I'm here
If she knows I'm here, Lawd
I wonder if she said a prayer
