Favorite Song To Listen To While Hitchin'

[MistyLove]

[quote:7e758db678="sketchy"]I know I found one of my old tapes from when I was little, and it had this song on it I almost creamed my pants when I heard it again : )

It's by Vanity Fair .. and it's called "Hitchin a Ride"

[quote:7e758db678]A thumb goes up, a car goes by
It's nearly 1 a.m. and here am I
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home by the morning light

I got no fare to ride a train
I'm nearly drowin' in the pouring rain
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home to my baby's side

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Long distance call I got today
She sounded lonely so I'm on my way
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home, keep her satisfied

instrumental break

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

A thumb goes up, a car goes by
Oh, won't somebody stop and help a guy?
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Been away too long from my baby's side

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride

Not like you needed the lyrics ... but its a pretty chilled song ..[/quote:7e758db678]
[b:7e758db678][color=green:7e758db678]SWEET. I've been wondering who does that song! They play it a lot on the oldies station here in my hometown, but they never tell you who sings what.

Anyway, my favorites are Any Road by George Harrison and Wheel in the Sky by Journey. [/color:7e758db678][/b:7e758db678]

I've got a lot of metal and classic rock on my mp3 player...but...yes there is some John Denver and Gordon Lightfoot. It just seems appropriate.

Get a copy of "Mr. E's Beautiful Blues" from The Eels. It's on the soundtrack for the movie "Road Trip".

My g/f hates it because I sing it all of the time. When I'm on the road I can't get it out of my head.

"God damn right it's a beautiful day..."

hey! when i'm on the road i usually listen to every kind of music cause i'm open to it. Very often when i hear a song it's just a perfect song for that moment. But i have also my favourite songs which always create the atmosphere of going somewhere or as if i was on my way: joy divisione - love will tear us apart, bob marley with peter tosh - stop that train i'm leaving, the doors - love me two times, Iggy pop - lust for life, the passenger, the clash - should i stay or should i go, straight to hell, the prodigy - voodoo people, breathe, something new bob sinclar - love generation. Well there are some songs that when u listen to it, it can really takes u on a journey.
cheers!

I went Vancouver to Alaska with Neutral Milk Hotel "In the Airplane over the sea". It remains a pretty special album, I would say a classic. If you're going to check it out get the full album, though the individual songs are good, it needs to be experienced as a whole I think.

Any good traveling song.

One of my favorites songs to hear on the road is Jessica High energy instrumental.
Kerouac is another good un.

For some reason, I have always like "Highway Song" by Blackfoot. Goes with the territory, I guess...

[Lightfoot]

"Cowboy Song" by Thin Lizzy off "Live and Dangerous" always did it for me. And I'm hardly a cowboy.

For some reason all of Bob Seger's songs remind me of being on the road whenever I take a brief hiatus from the road
