C                                        G
Standing by a snow drift in the pale moonlight
G                                C
Hitchhikin west on a highway  at night
                                       G
Trying to get to Frisco looking for my girl
                                             C
Here comes a trucker hope he don't mind long curls

I remember years ago hitchin the same road
                                            C
Never saw a trucker leave a man out in the cold
                                           G
No riders sign on the window never meant a thing
                                           C
Nowadays they just roll on looking kind of mean

G  O

C                                                    G
Kind of makes me wonder scratch my head and kick the snow
                                                   C
Four years overseas  who are these strangers in my home
                                          G
Where are the country people does anybody know
                                              C
Do you remember the  Americans where did they go
          Bb      F         G
Were they simply bought and sold
