Standard (EADGBE)
Standing by a snow drift in the pale moonlight
Hitchhikin west on a highway at night
Trying to get to Frisco looking for my girl
Here comes a trucker hope he don't mind long curls
Solo
I remember years ago hitchin the same road
Never saw a trucker leave a man out in the cold
No riders sign on the window never meant a thing
Nowadays they just roll on looking kind of mean
Solo
Kind of makes me wonder scratch my head and kick the snow
Four years overseas who are these strangers in my home
Where are the country people does anybody know
Do you remember the Americans where did they go
Were they simply bought and sold
