(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts,
1969)
See the man on the black top highway movin' past a no man's
land.
All alone on the black top highway. Movin' just as fast as he
can, ridin' thumb, ridin' thumb.
Left his home down in Macon, Georgia. Left the shade of an old
oak tree.
Got his dreams in his left front pocket. Got his eye squinted
towards the sea, ridin' thumb, ridin' thumb.
He don't care where the road goes, just as long as he gets his
ride. And he don't care 'bout food and water.
He just lets his conscience be his guide, ridin' thumb, ridin'
thumb.
Left his sister and his mama cryin' (cryin'), beggin' him not to
leave that day (leave that day).
Said he'd write but they knew he was a-lyin' (lyin'). Got no
razor, got no pay, ridin' thumb, ridin' thumb.
