hitch-hikers' hero
Singer:atlanta rhythm section
you have seen him by the roadside
with his sun-striped inner will
he was one with them at woodstock
he was there at watkins glen
he's a hitch-hiker's hero
he has been around the world and back again
the children gather 'round him
and they ask him where he's been
and they look at him with wonder
they wish that they were him
he's a hitch-hiker's hero
and they would follow him to hell and back again
the children never see him
when the nights are dark and cold
he only wishes he was home
but that hitch-hiker's hero
knowing not where he will be tomorrow
