A long way to go; yea, miles to go
And here I am; standing on the side of the road
Walking down the shoulder of the road
My thumb out; who picks me up God only knows
Yea, yea, God only knows; God only knows
Here comes a hippie chick in a VW bus
I climb on in and say what's up
She's got long knotty hair and she needs to clean up
She's talking bout her scene and she wants to hook up
A free spirit dealing in a world full of drugs
I have to say enough!
A long way to go; yea, miles to go
And here I am; standing on the side of the road
Walking down the shoulder of the road
My thumb out; who picks me up God only knows
Yea, yea, God only knows; God only knows
Here comes an old man in a beat up truck
He opens the door and says climb in son
A ZZ Top beard; he looks down on his luck
He's whaling bout the Bible and Holy Spirit stuff
An old man looking for a new soul to save
I'll be on my way!
A long way to go; yea, miles to go
And here I am; standing on the side of the road
Walking down the shoulder of the road
My thumb out; who picks me up God only knows
Yea, yea, God only knows! God only knows!
Here comes a yuppie in BMW-G
He screeches to a halt and I jump in the seat
He fires it up a gets up to top speed
He preaches bout success and making money
He's caught up in a world of the elite
Man that's not for me!
A long way to go; yea, miles to go
And here I am; standing on the side of the road
Walking down the shoulder of the road
My thumb out; who picks me up God only knows
Yea, yea, God only knows! God only knows
