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
