The Hitchhiker

Verse 1

Hitching on the road now, hoping for a ride

Traveling with my guitar, suitcase by my side

I'm coming over to your place tonight

Sunlight beaming brighter, and I know it's going to be alright.

Chorus

Cause I'm on my way to you, 

Got to see you I'm travelling through,

It blows my mind thinking what we'll do

oh, I'm on my way to you.

Verse 2

Stopping on the way, at a carriageway cafe,

where I made a call and booked my gig to play,

at the open mic down the road from you

Chances are we'll meet up with the other spirits too

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

Instrumental 8 Bars

Destination friendship, on the open road

No time, no place, no rules, cause freedom gives and grows

Repeat Chorus
