[Intro]
It doesn't matter if hitch from him, her, or capital T-H-EM
Just stick you thumb out
and just say “Goin‘ my way, baby?”

My mama told me when she was young
She was hitching all the time
So let your hair down and put red lipstick on
Guys pick up girls that are fine!

"There's nothing wrong with just hitching your way"
She said, "'Cause your bod is perfect, babe"
"So stick your thumb out girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"

[Chorus]
Stay off the darkest highways
Follow the interstate
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
Just ask, “Goin’ my way?”
Any location, go direct
Just pack your bags and you're set
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
Just ask, “Goin’ my way?”

[Post-chorus]
Hangin’ out by the Freeway
“Hey Sir are you goin’ my way?”
“Hey Lady are you goin’ my way?”
Hangin’ out by the Freeway
“Hey Sir are you goin’ my way?”
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
“Hey Lady are you goin’ my way?”

Just pack some bags and keep it clean
Just pack some bags and keep it clean
Just pack some bags and keep it clean
No RVs!!!

Get yourself introduced
And make new friends
Hitch a ride, and take a route
Although illegal in many states
Just take a chance, explore your youth

Hitching is where the trip begins
Traveling on a W-H-I-M (Hey, hey, hey)
I love this life, I love this ride, and
I make sure they fill the gas tank!!!

[Chorus]
Stay off the darkest highways
Follow the interstate
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
Just ask, “Goin’ my way?”
Any location, go direct
Just pack your bags and you're set
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
Just ask, “Goin’ my way?”

[Post-chorus]
Hangin’ out by the Freeway
“Hey Sir are you goin’ my way?”
“Hey Lady are you goin’ my way?”
Hangin’ out by the Freeway
“Hey Sir are you goin’ my way?”
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
“Hey Lady are you goin’ my way?”

[Bridge]
Just pack some bags and keep it clean
Stay clear of RVs and vans unclean
Cars black, white, red, even violet
Go for sweet rides, but avoid accidents
To meet your transportation needs
Avoid sports cars with excessive speed
Smile and hitch a (safe) ride today
'cause baby someone is goin’ your way

No matter day, night, gone by
Just keep hitchin‘ those rides,
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
Someone’s bound to come by
No matter black, white or beige
Domestic or foreign made,
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
This beats roadside AAA!

[Chorus]
Stay off the darkest highways
Follow the interstate
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
Just ask, “Goin’ my way?”
Any location, go direct
Just pack your bags and you're set
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
Just ask, “Goin’ my way?”

[Post-chorus]
Hangin’ out by the Freeway
“Hey Sir are you goin’ my way?”
“Hey Lady are you goin’ my way?”
Hangin’ out by the Freeway
“Hey Sir are you goin’ my way?”
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
“Hey Lady are you goin’ my way?”

[Outro/refrain:]
“Are you goin’ my way?” Hey!
“Are you goin’ my way?” Hey!
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
“Are you goin’ my way?” Hey!
“Are you goin’ my way?” Hey!
“Are you goin’ my way?” Hey!
You’re near the on ramp, baby,
“Are you goin’ my way?” Hey!

[Fade away]
Beautiful day, you’re goin’ my way!
Beautiful day, you’re goin’ my way!
