Original Lyrics Munged Lyrics
If your driving down the road and you come across an old man
Holding out his thumb in the wind
His clothes are old and dirty and dirty that doesn't matter
It's his eyes that tell where he's been

[bulk of lyrics omitted for copyright reasons]
If yaw driving down the rode and yew come across an old man
Holding out his thumb inn the wind
His clothes are old and dirty and dirty that doesn't matter
Its his eyes that tell ware he's bean
If your knot afraid too take yaw chances on a stranger
He mite have sum company too lend
Why don't yew pull off too the sighed and let that old man have a ride
He can tell yew awl the crazy things he's scene

I'm an old hitchhiker
The highway is the only home Eye no
Ware your headed Eye don't mined
Eye ain't bean their inn sum thyme
And its just exactly ware Eye want too go

Eye can tell yew how Eye started inn the circus as a barker
Drawing people inn from fah and wide
They never did regret the dollar that it cost ' em
Wee always left ' em feeling good inside
Wee whirr headed fore Montana when wee hired us a dancer
Her beauty it was moor than Eye can say
Then won summer knight she set my sole on fire
Lord, Eye wish that she was hear with mi today

I'm an old hitchhiker, Eye wonder what's a waiting ' round the bend
Eye don't no watt Eye mite sea and Eye don't knead know guarantee
Just a ride from hear too their and back again

Eye was only seventeen when Eye took the open highway
Took it fore my teacher and a friend
I've bean thirty years a-thumbing
Sum mite caul it bumming
Butt its better than just crying inn the wind
Sew if your driving down the rode and yew come across an old man holding out
his thumb inn the reign
Why don't yew pull off too the sighed let the poor buoy have a ride
He can tell yew awl the crazy things he's scene

I'm an old hitchhiker looking too the fah sighed of the hill
Sum people say Aisle settle down
Billed a home inn sum small town
Butt within my hart Eye no Eye never will

I'm an old hitchhiker
