[Verse 1]
Was ridin' alongside the highway
Rollin' up the countryside
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heat wave
What you burn in your crazy mind
Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road
She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair
“Do you want to?” I was thinkin', “Would you care?”
[Chorus]
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
[Verse 2]
Cruisin' on through the junction
I'm flyin' about the speed of sound
Noticin' peculiar function
I'm no roller coaster, shut me down
I turned away to see her
When she caught my eye
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast
“Do you want to?” she was thinkin', “Can it last?”
[Chorus]
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King (Yeah)
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Was busted up along the highway
I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive
Wonderin' if you're goin' my way
Won't you give a poor boy a ride?
Now, here she comes a-risin'
Lord, she's flyin' high
She was rollin' down, moving too fast
“Do you want to?” she was thinkin', “Can I last?”
[Chorus]
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
