Sweet Hitch Hiker Lyric
Was ridin' alongside the highway
Rollin' up the country side
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave
What you burn in your crazy mind
Saw a slight distraction
Standin' by the road
She was smilin' there
Yellow in her hair
Do you wanna, I was thinkin'
Would you care?
Sweet Hitchhiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitchhiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Cruisin' on through the junction
I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound
Noticin' peculiar function
I ain't no roller coaster
Show me down
I turned away to see her
Whoa, she caught my eye
But I was rollin' down
Movin' too fast
Do you wanna, she was thinkin'
Can it last
Sweet Hitchhiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitchhiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine
Was busted up along the highway
I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way
Won't you give a poor boy a ride
Here she comes a ridin'
Lord, she's flyin' high
But she was rollin' down
Movin' too fast
Do you wanna, she was thinkin'
Can I last
Sweet Hitchhiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitchhiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine
Song Notes : "This was the first CCR album that John Fogerty did not dominate. Other members of the band had accused him of being a control freak, so Fogerty let them do more of the songwriting and have a more prominent role on this album. It was the beginning of the end for CCR, as the album was a flop and this song the last of their hits"
Contains the line "We could make music at the Greasy King." Stu Cook: "The Greasy King was the nickname for the local burger stand near Cosmo's Factory, Berkeley, CA."
"The first single for CCR as a trio. Tom Fogerty left in 1971"
