Little Hitchhicker
[Verse 1]
She was on her way to find her mama
Everything she owned in a red suitcase
She followed the road along the river
And she sang to herself when it turned late
[Chorus]
Ooh, little hitchhiker
Ooh, you're on your way
Ooh, little hitchhiker
You're gonna find what you're lookin' for someday
[Verse 2]
She awoke in a field full of flowers
Near the bend in the old highway
Held her thumb out for hour and hours
But the cars just passed by her day after day
[Chorus]
Ooh, little hitchhikеr
Ooh, you're on your way
Ooh, little hitchhiker
You'rе gonna find what you're lookin' for someday
[Verse 3]
I remember the night I came upon her
I pulled over, she flashed a sweet smile
And her story sounded strangely familiar
I had that same red suitcase as a child
[Chorus]
Singin' ooh, little hitchhiker
Ooh, you're on your way
Ooh, little hitchhiker
You're gonna find what you're lookin' for someday, yeah
[Verse 4]
They found a red bag floating in the river
And a rag doll washed up on the banks
It's been thirty years and they never found her
Legend goes she still roams these old highways
I guess sometimes Mother Road can't keep you safe
