From years of hitchin'

on the hi- way

He said "Mister,
Dm
Gm
won't you give me a ride
Eb
Dm
I'm a wanted man lookin'
Gm

for a place to hide"

Oh, we finished the coffee and

we got in the car
C

We drove off and hadn't gone far

When Tom began to tell me his sad story...
Verse 2
C
He said "Long around 1942
Buddy, I robbed a bank in Kalamazoo

Just to get enough money to

marry my true darlin'
But she died when she
heard what I had done
And ever since I've been on the run
F

Standing on the hi- ways a callin'

A callin' mister won't

Verse 6
C
So, three nights later at Rusty's door
I had a beer and then I had one more

Just like old Turnpike Tom had said
The machine was under a sign which read

In a sanitary way by Turnpike Tom

And tell him his days will soon be better

Remember that you only fall for

Lies and stories when you really want to
