Bruce Springsteen - Hitch Hikin' Lyrics






Thumb stuck out as I go
I'm just travelin' up the road
Maps don't do much for me, friend
I follow the weather and the wind

I'm hitch hikin' all day long
Got what I can carry and my song
I'm a rolling stone just rolling on
Catch me now 'cause tomorrow I'll be gone

Family man gives me a ride
Got his pregnant Sally at his side
Yes indeed, sir, children are a gift
Thank you kindly for the lift

I'm hitch hikin' all day long

Trucker gears his engine down
Says, "Climb on up, son, I'm highway-bound"
Dashboard picture of a pretty girl
I'm ridin' high on top of the world

I'm hitch hikin' all day long

Gearhead in a souped-up '72
Wants to show a kid just what this thing'll do
Telephone poles and trees go whizzin' by
Thank you, pal, she sure can fly

I'm hitch hikin' all day long
I'm hitch hikin' all day long
I'm hitch hikin' all day long

Bruce Springsteen Hitch Hikin' Comments
  1. K.... D....

    I've been listening to Bruce my hole life and this is probably one of his best songs. Just listen to the piano in it.

  2. V.... M....

    Fantástico, 💪💕

  3. R.... M....

    From a french fan : c est beau à en pleurer (so beautiful to crying)

  4. D.... ....

    Thanks Bruce. I’m just a few years behind you, and, except for the episodic depression, the arc of my life parallels yours. You’ve put to words music that reflects my experience too. Blessings from California

  5. B.... P....

    Different, much different, I think it suits perfectly my age!😉 love it! Way to go boss❤

  6. a.... d....

    Amo questa canzone!! Però avrei preferito Bruce in video!! Mi piace molto quando si esibisce dal vivo!!!😃😅😍😍😍😘😘🎸♥️♥️💋

  7. F.... d....

    Por décadas venho acompanhando o talento singular desse cantor sem encontrar quem queira compartilhar desse privilégio, que bom que aqui só tem pessoas de bom gosto.

  8. V.... M....

    Eu amo você Bruce linda música amo

    V.... M....

    Obrigada querido

  9. S.... A....

    Masterpiece !

  10. B.... S....

    Master Thief

  11. T.... N....

    My patience was rewarded I suppose. 12 songs I listened to hoping there would be 12 songs in front of number 13 that would be just as good as number 13 is. Spring saved the best song for last. Moonlight Motel. I kept waiting and finally a song that is worthy to listen to over and over. And of course I am always hoping that each song would be well enough to listen to over and over. Moonlight Motel is the only song for me. The rest of the album is alright and listenable to. The album cover is terrible. I would imagine that an album cover may or may be indicative of the album. The album is better than the album cover. Not much better though. I just wonder and think that an album cover can really make a difference even knowing that it is about the music for certain. I think for me the album is a little too polished or orchestrated or maybe operatic. One thing Spring can take any one of his songs and strip it and make it more acoustically raw and for me that is what I prefer. Spring is somewhere between acoustic and operatic. He may argue well that is the Roy Orbison coming out in him. I honestly don’t care for that. Anyway. That’s maybe why I like Moonlight Motel best. It is more raw and acoustically striped. A very nice little melody to it. Very subtle and yet it clicks. Simple yet effective. Take out the background violins and his operatic reaching of his voice and tune it more raw which Spring is quite able to do. However I am not Bruce. I think we are on a little different track or wavelength. Anyway one song is better than no songs. And in all fairness If I listened to the album again it would probably grow on me. However time and energy are crucial and hence I will download the one song and be quite happy with that.

    I saw the film last week. Beautiful pictures and bruce's songs ! The boss

  13. C.... O....

    Amazing album

    I'm a truck driver from Russia. And when you riding alone for days, you need some company. And hitch hikers is one of my friends. Thanks for song, Bruce!

  17. L.... M....

    Bruce Springsteen é tudo de bom amo demais 😘😍

  18. T.... E....

    This is my favorite on Western Stars. Bruce has always appealed to my “loner” sensibilities. But still longing for a home and connection. His performance on the film was even better. Such great melodies throughout this album

  19. J.... B....

    Epic sound quality in the,movie.

  20. g.... f....

    very good album !!!!!

  21. j.... j....

    Bruce said he wrote 40 odd songs for this album! Please Bruce release the others if there anyway close to this masterpiece.

  24. G.... S....

    Gifted singer and songwriter

  25. T.... P....

    I’m 13 years old and listening to this song,it’s great!

  26. T.... P....

    T.... P....

    Etheanas Slave they are, the thing is animated

  27. T.... C....

    Listened to it on the plane to and from the USA as Qantas has it and Broadway as part of in-flight entertainment

  28. M.... S....

    Each new listen brings greater appreciation of this fantastic album. It’s growing on me and I love it. Give it a few listens and I promise you will fall in love.

  29. g.... s....

    Exelencia, absolutamente GENIO, ojala vinieras a Uruguay, somos muy chiquitos, estamos bien al Sur, pero amamos tu Arte, parte de nuestra historia de vida esta en tu musica

  34. P.... T....

    GL to the equestrian Olympics....

  36. R.... L....

    County country

  37. b.... b....

    Absolute Guinness this might be one of his best thank God for sending this man here

  38. C.... C....

    Merci Mr Bruce c'est un grand album.

  39. g.... ....

    I just realized that the cover art of "Western Stars" is reminiscent of a picture of a donkey from the gulf war. Is it a coincidence or influence? http://www.lucianperkins.com/forgotten-conflicts/

  40. J.... K....

    Bruce just never left us

  41. J.... P....

    Brucie painting pictures in lyrics and tunes. Been going it for years sign of a great songsmith. Hope for more.

  42. C.... M....

    Respect! Great song. In 1986 a buddy and I hitch-hiked around the countryside. This song evokes all of those fantastic memories of two "young turks" ready for life. We carried a bottle of Jack. It was just the two of us. We depended on each other every moment. We worked our way around doing little jobs here and there, mostly in exchange for a room. We had a great time together. We swam in the ocean, chased girls, and mostly stuck out our thumbs, and met people. It was one of those times when there was no tomorrow, just today, just the next ride to the next stop. It was great fun! No surrender, buddy!

    C.... M....

    "Young Turks" was a term used affectionately, by muslims for the ones (those of the waning Ottoman empire) who slaughtered the Armenian Christians .
    And also the name of a moronic Progressive political talk show.

  43. L.... H....

    This song is amazing! The musical arrangement is so beautiful and haunting. The thing I love about Bruce is that he shares his life and experiences through his music, he’s so open and honest and I adore him. Thank you Bruce ❤️❤️❤️❤️Xoxox

  44. S.... U....

    I hitchhiked 20,000 miles before age 21, but that is not why I think this is one of the best albums I've heard in years. Bruce has made a phenomenal album again.

  45. W.... G....

    I used to think "The Boss" was a faintly silly sobriquet when I was younger. I'm older and wiser now and if anybody deserves to be the boss then Bruce does.

  46. M.... x....

    i love dis

  47. L.... S....

    Sounds like Dylan!

    L.... S....

    Can I assume you're talking about the lyrics? Certainly not the vocals on this album. I'm a huge Dylan fan, but , unfortunately, his voice is completely shot. Bruce can still pull up his pop voice and a pretty sturdy falsetto depending on the material.

    L.... S....

    @Vince K Yes, the voice sounds a little like Dylan...but Dylan who can really sing. Also the style is very much like Dylan!

  48. W.... E....

    How Beautiful is this, I have listened over and over, each time breathing in the beauty and taking in the dream of the picture Bruce has created.

  49. C.... C....

    Sometimes with Bruce it's not the song he sings but the story he tells. Once again thank you Bruce, all my love x

  50. P.... G....

    When the two first singles were published I did not think that much. But then the third hit me and then the whole composition is one of the moust outstanding he ever did...BIG 🆙

  51. l.... d....

    El arpegio de esta canción es igual al de una de collective soul llamada satelite

  52. S.... S....

    I know it’s a bold statement but I think this song just elbowed it’s way into my top Boss songs ever

  53. P.... ....

    This album is a gift ! Each and every song is a masterpiece! Thank you Bruce!!

    P.... ....

    well said

  54. j.... ....

    If a 69 year old man can fantasize so beautifully about thin kind of untethered freedom, then by god, this 63 year old can do the same ;)

  55. n.... n....

    👏👏👍😍😍😘😘

  56. I.... K....

    Bruce God bless you

  57. b.... ....

    1000% my new favorite Bruce Song.... There's just something about it. I can picture the whole thing in my head.

  58. P.... W....

    the thing with bruce he tells a life in song

  59. A.... C....

    My favorite song on this album!

  60. A.... T....

    A simple story but as always it's like his words carry you into the story until you can imagine you are the hitchhiker. Lovely.

  61. V.... B....

    Meu preferido 💘🎤🎸🤔💓💓 perfeito 💎

  62. M.... G....

    My preferite song of this amazing, wonderful album. A masterpiece.

  63. B.... ....

    The Boss reminding us who the fucking boss is! What a beautiful song. So much love for Bruce <3

  64. C.... T....

    Hi everyone, from Mexico¡ Viva The Boss¡

  65. m.... ....

    first springsteen album ive played and love it

  66. K.... P....

    I've been living with this new album for a couple weeks now and, as someone else said earlier, it takes a few listens to settle in, cause it's a little different. My initial thoughts was it sounded like "grown up music", something I imagined my mum liking when I was younger. Then I remembered I'm past 60 myself and started really liking it as I listened more. Maybe I'll like it even more when I'm grown up!

    K.... P....

    Let's hope we never "grow up." Every day awesome both in the good times and the bad. We are all wanderers.

    K.... P....

    I'm 21 and love this album. It's just great music. I went to a screening of Western Stars and was the youngest guy there by about 30-40 years. Good music is good music regardless of age

  67. T.... H....

    Amazing Album, needs a few listens to grow on you and then it blossoms, A real American masterpiece and a breath of fresh air, The Boss is the Boss! Best thing after Born in the USA!

  68. �.... �....

    love it!

  69. A.... M....

    I didn't except any thing about this new album. I didn't have to. I knew that I would love each songs !
    Just after bought the CD I drove on a small road, between fileds, the Sun behind me and I started enjoying the album with this song.
    You're a great songwriter Mr Springsteen and my dream is to see you in live one day. Hope you'll come in France again !

    A.... M....

    Aymeric Martin he's coming to Europe next year

    A.... M....

    @Marijkevanderweide you just made my day

    A.... M....

    Aymeric Martin I'm planning to see him for the first time also, so just wanted to give you the same feeling I had when I heard it 💕

  70. A.... H....

    Just wow. Thank you , bos .
    So beautiful

  71. C.... T....

    Great song!! Deep gratitude for it.

  72. K.... K....

    listen of on yuor music

  73. S.... c....

    Loving this entire Western Stars album
    There goes my miricale walking away n just sounds ol school in great way like touch Glen Campbell n Jimy Rogers
    Woody yet all Bruce in his own
    We've all feel n know someone with cancer I lost my wife to Drs horrible mistakes n cancer 30 yrs Together survived homelessness in cold n son being shot yet she could not survive Drs mistakes Cancer So Bruce's music keeps the images of death that Shadow's my nights alone n music soothes it some

  74. k.... k....
