[Verse 1] Was riding alongside the highway Rolling up the countryside Thinking I'm the devil's heat wave What you burn in your crazy mind Saw a slight distraction standing by the road She was smiling there, yellow in her hair “Do you want to?” I was thinking, “Would you care?” [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? [Verse 2] 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? [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] 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? [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? [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? [Outro] Sweet hitch-a-hiker We could make music at the Greasy King
