Thumbin' A Ride Lyrics - The Coasters

I had myself a day job 

Pumpin' gasoline 

A dollar a day is all they pay 

And I just can't make that scene 

That's why I'm thumbin' a ride 

Thumbin' a ride 

Thumbin' a ride 

On the road 

If I could find some money 

Id straighten out right quick 

But every time I get a dime 

I spend it on some chick 

That's why Im thumbin' a ride 

Thumbin' a ride 

Thumbin' a ride 

On the road 

That's why Im thumbin' a ride 

Thumbin' a ride 

Thumbin' a ride 

On the road 

I'm walking down the highway 

Sweating like salt pork 

I'm putting down this country town 

Cause my souls up in New York 

That's why I'm thumbin' a ride 

Thumbin' a ride 

Thumbin' a ride 

On the road
