THUMBING A RIDE
HEADING ON OUT TO THE WIDE OPEN ROADS
SEARCHING LONG FOR A WAY TO THE STARS
HITCHING A RIDE HAD AN UNWRITTEN CODE
SO BE READY WHEN YOU TAKE TO THE TAR.
PICK YOUR POST PROPER, PATIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE
MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR GOIN,
STAND OUT CLEARLY, BUT STAY TO THE SIDE
BE ALERT FOR THE TRAFFIC THAT BE FLOWIN!
TAKIN TO THE ROAD,WISE TO HAVE A GOOD KIT
NEVER SURE JUST WHAT OR WHEN BE YOUR NEEDS
PACK ALL NECCESSITIES, INSURE A TIGHT FIT
PROTECTION FOR MOST ODORS, BITES AND BLEEDS.
LONG DAYS AT TIMES TURN QUICKLY INTO NIGHT
KEEPIN STUFF DRY, AS A SHIELD FROM WIND AND RAIN
WEAR LIGHT COLORS, AT LEAST A LITTLE WHITE
OR WHERE YOU ARE , MAY JUST BE WHERE YOU'RE STAYIN !
DAYS CAN BE SO LONG AND THE RIDES AT TIMES BE FEW
DON'T BE OVER BOLD, AND AS WELL DON'T SEEM TO MEEK
WHEN YOU GET A LUCKY BREAK, FOLLOW ALL THE RULES
INSURE THE USE OF COURTEOUSY, NEVER RANK OR REEK !
HITCH-HIKING CAN BE FUN, BUT IT ALSO HAS IT DANGERS!
ALWAYS BE PREPARED, STAND YER GROUND,KEEP YER FOCUS
EVERY TIME AND RIDE, EVERY LIFT CAN CAN BE LIFE CHANGERS!
KEEP A WELL PLACED "B-PLAN" SHOULD THERE BE SOME HOKI-POKI !
YOU CAN SEE THE COUNTRY, MEET GREAT FOLKS, IN MANY PLACES
LIKE CITIES, TOWNS, YOU ONLY SAW IN PICTURES AND FROM STORIES
DEEP AMID THE NORTHERN PINES, AND THE PRAIRIE OPEN SPACES
BECOME THE LIVING LEGENDS YOU CAN SPEAK ABOUT WITH GLORY.
PERHAPS AS YOU GET OLDER, LONG TO HIT THE LINES ANOTHER TIME
TO KEEP THE MEMORIES LIVING, WE'LL REFLECT WITH WORDS AND RHYME
WHOOPS, SORRY GOTTA GO, THERE'S A CAR AND THE MOTOR'S RUNNING
GRAB ANOTHER TALE ,OF THE WANDEROUS DAYS OF "THUMBING"
