Standard (EADGBE)

Standing by a snow drift in the pale moonlight

Hitchhikin west on a highway at night

Trying to get to Frisco looking for my girl

Here comes a trucker hope he don't mind long curls

Solo

I remember years ago hitchin the same road

Never saw a trucker leave a man out in the cold

No riders sign on the window never meant a thing

Nowadays they just roll on looking kind of mean

Solo

Kind of makes me wonder scratch my head and kick the snow

Four years overseas who are these strangers in my home

Where are the country people does anybody know

Do you remember the Americans where did they go

Were they simply bought and sold
