- Eli’s song Lyrics
Album: Spirit This song was first released on the Spirit album. It is the only album it has been released on. If your drivin¡Â¯ down the road and you come across an old man Holdin¡Â¯ out his thumb in the wind His clothes are old and dirty and dirty that doesn¡Â¯t matter It¡Â¯s his eyes that tell where he¡Â¯s been If you¡Â¯re not afraid to take your chances on a stranger He might have some company to lend Why don¡Â¯t you pull off to the side and let that old man have a ride He can tell you all the crazy things he¡Â¯s seen I¡Â¯m an old hitchhiker The highway is the only home I know Where you¡Â¯re headed I don¡Â¯t mind I ain¡Â¯t been there in some time And it¡Â¯s just exactly where I want to go I can tell you how I started in the circus as a barker Drawin¡Â¯ people in from far and wide They never did regret the dollar that it cost ¡Â®em We always left ¡Â®em feelin¡Â¯ good inside We were headed for Montana when we hired us a dancer Her beauty it was more than I can say Then one summer night she set my soul on fire Lord, I wish that she was here with me today I¡Â¯m an old hitchhiker, I wonder what¡Â¯s a waitin¡Â¯ ¡Â®round the bend I don¡Â¯t know what I might see and I don¡Â¯t need no guarantee Just a ride from here to there and back again I was only seventeen when I took the open highway Took it for my teacher and a friend I¡Â¯ve been thirty years a-thumbin¡Â¯ Some might call it bummin¡Â¯ But it¡Â¯s better than just cryin¡Â¯ in the wind So if you¡Â¯re drivin¡Â¯ down the road and you come across an old man holdin¡Â¯ out his thumb in the rain Why don¡Â¯t you pull off to the side let the poor boy have a ride He can tell you all the crazy things he¡Â¯s seen I¡Â¯m an old hitchhiker lookin¡Â¯ to the far side of the hill Some people say I¡Â¯ll settle down Build a home in some small town But within my heart I know I never will I¡Â¯m an old hitchhiker Words by Steve Weisberg and John Denver, music by Steve Weisberg
