D                                 G
Was ridin' along side the highway,
rollin' on the country side.
D
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave,
          G
what you burn in your crazy mind?
D                 C        G
Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road.
  C                     A
She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair.
 D
Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care?

Chorus:
  A
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
                             G        D
We could make music at the Greasy King.
  A
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
                      G
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Cruising on through the junction
I'm flying about the speed of sound
Noticing peculiar function
I'm no roller coaster, shut me down
I turned away to see her
Whoa! She caught my eye
But I was rolling down, moving too fast
“Do you want to?” she was thinking, “Can it last?”

Chorus:
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King (yeah)
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Was busted up along the highway
I'm the saddest riding fool alive
Wondering if you're goin' my way
Won't you give a poor boy a ride?
Now here she comes a-riding
Lord, she's flying high
She was rolling down, moving too fast
“Do you want to?” she was thinking, “Can I last?”

Chorus:
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine? - x3

Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
