lyrics

h i t c h i n a r i d e (o n o l' m a n r i v e r)

ol' freight train is rumblin, bumpin down the track
wheels keep on a grumblin engineer don't look back
someday i'll jump into one of those boxes
hanging tight, travellin’ far
leavin the city, laughing all the while
ol freight train is rumblin, i'm travelin in style

ol highway is winding, smiling east and west
cars swiftly sliding, trying hard to escape the rest
someday i'll stand with my feet on yr shoulder
grinnin so wide, tho the cars pass me by
heading for nowhere, helping when i can
ol highway's windin like a snake across the land

ol man river is a rushin with a mind of his own
brother water keeps flushin crushin huge rocks to stones
lay myself down in that cool sparkling water
take me wherever you want me to go
dreamin of music, driftin off to sleep
ol river enfold me, carry me deep

trials have ended, no more need to hide
ol man river pull over I'm hitchin a ride…


for martin wigginton, bob felt, david mitchell and DBO
