manitoba man

i'm ridin' my thumb uptown for to find me a score

there's a manitoba man behind the fillin' station store

man

he's got stuff that leaves every limb singin' for more

so i'm ridin' my thumb uptown for to find me a score

my good gal stood by me and i know she's the light of my life

but if i am to be truthful

i don't feel alive 'til it's night

when the hours i'm alone in the dark are the only in sight

but my good gal stood by me and i know she's the light of my life

but my time is past due and i ought to be movin' along

i've been kickin' my feet

wanderin' these streets for too long

my good gal

she tells me she's dreamin' of raisin' a son

but my time is past due

i ought to be movin' along

i reckon i'll make one last stop before i go

he's waitin' for me at the pumps

surely he knows

that twenty-four hours have passed since i last powdered my nose

so i reckon i'll make one last stop before i go
