Hitch Hiking Girl lyrics

I was rollin' along, mindin' my business
I didn't have a worry in this world
Then on up ahead
On that big open road
My lights picked up a hitchhiking girl

Then it all happened with a "Hi-ya hon'
Can I give you a lift down the road?"
Can't take it too fast
Gotta learn to take it slow
I've got on a heavy load

She said, "That's alright, big boy
Take all the time you need
And by the way, my name is Pearl"
So I pulled in my rig
At the next truck stop
Just me and my hitchhiking girl

Then it started again with a "Gee, Ben
Oh, you sure are big and strong"
She purred like a kitten
And then I was admittin'
That this affair just couldn't be wrong

Then my trouble became double with a friendly embrace
Man, she really had me in a whirl
When I woke up at dawn
My wallet was gone
And so was my hitchhiking girl
Then it all ended with a "What the?!
Boy, she really took me for a ride"
Can't eat today
Might as well be on my way
Just me and my busted pride

So I head out once more
Too broke to be poor
But a lesson I've learned from this girl
Now, you can take it from me and the ICC
Don't ever trust a hitchhiking girl
