  • She was on her way to find her mama
    Everything she owned in a red suitcase
    She followed the road along the river
    And she sang to herself when it turned late

    Ooh, little hitchhiker
    Ooh, you're on your way
    Ooh, little hitchhiker
    You're gonna find what you're lookin' for someday

    She awoke in a field full of flowers
    Near the bend in the old highway
    Held her thumb out for hour and hours
    But the cars just passed by her day after day

    Ooh, little hitchhiker
    Ooh, you're on your way
    Ooh, little hitchhiker
    You're gonna find what you're lookin' for someday

    I remember the night I came upon her
    I pulled over, she flashed a sweet smile
    And her story sounded strangely familiar
    I had that same red suitcase as a child

    Singin' ooh, little hitchhiker
    Ooh, you're on your way
    Ooh, little hitchhiker
    You're gonna find what you're lookin' for someday

    They found a red bag floating in the river
    And a rag doll washed up on the banks
    It's been thirty years and they never found he
    Legend goes she still roams these old highways
    I guess sometimes mother road
    Can't keep you safe Writer/s: Grace Potter
