Ridin' my thumb uptown for to find me a score There's a Manitoba man behind the fillin' station store Man, he's got stuff that leaves every limb singin' for more So I'm ridin' my thumb uptown for to find me a score My good gal stood by me and I know she's the light of my life But if I am to be truthful, I don't feel alive 'til it's night Well the hours I'm alone in the dark are the only in sight But my good gal stood by me and I know she's the light of my life But my time is past due and I ought to be movin' along I've been kickin' my feet, wanderin' these streets for too long My good gal, she tells me she's dreamin' of raisin' a son But my time is past due, I ought to be movin' along I reckon I'll make one last stop before I go He's waitin' for me at the pumps, surely he knows That twenty-four hours have passed since I last powdered my nose So I reckon I'll make one last stop before I go
