I've been down so long I think I'm gon' lose my mind I've been down so long I ask my friends Say, "I'm gonna lose my mind" Since you been gone Walkin' the street, an' cryin'
I'm gonna thumb me a ride Right down the road I go I'm gonna thumb me a ride Right down the road I go She treat me so mean Can't stay here no mo'
(Harmonica & instrumental)
I'm gonna thumb me a ride Back down the road I'll go I'm gonna thumb me a ride Back down the road I'll go Treat me so evil Can't stay here no mo'
After awhile You gon' want me like I want you After a while You gonna want me like I want you I'm gon' keep on walkin' I ain't got 'nuff for you to do.
