Atlanta Rhythm Section - Hitch-Hikers' Hero lyrics

You have seen him by the roadside With his sun-striped inner will He was one with them at Woodstock He was there at Watkins Glen He's a hitch-hiker's hero King of the highway He has been around the world and back again Now, the children gather 'round him And they ask him where he's been And they look at him with wonder And well, they wish that they were him He's a hitch-hiker's hero King of the highway And they would follow him to Hell and back again The children never see him When the nights are dark and cold When the cars are few, if any He only wishes he was home But that hitch-hiker's hero He's gotta keep on going Knowing not where he will be tomorrow Hitch-hiker's hero Gotta keep on going Hitch-hiker's hero Hitch-hiker's hero Gotta keep on, gotta keep on going Hitch-hiker's hero King of the highway Hitch-hiker's hero King of the highway He's gotta keep on, gotta keep on going Stick out your thumb
