  • Verse 1
    This 
    song was first 
    released 
    on the Spirit 

    album. It 
    is the only 
    album it 
    has been 
    released 
    on. 

    Verse 2
    If 
    your drivin' 
    down 
    the road 
    and 

    you come 
    across 
    an old 
    man 

    Holdin' 
    out 
    his 
    thumb 
    in 
    the wind 

    His 
    clothes 
    are 
    old 
    and 
    dirty 
    and dirty 

    that 
    doesn't 
    matter 

    It's 
    his eyes 
    that 
    tell where 
    he's 
    been 

    If 
    you're 
    not 
    afraid 
    to take 

    your chances 
    on 
    a stranger 

    He might 
    have 
    some 
    company 
    to lend 

    Why 
    don't you 
    pull off 
    to 
    the side 

    and let 
    that old 
    man 
    have 
    a ride 

    He can 
    tell 
    you all 
    the crazy 

    things 
    he's 
    seen 

    Verse 3
    I'm 
    an old 
    hitchhiker 

    The 
    highway 
    is the only 

    home 
    know 

    Where you're 
    headed 
    don't 
    mind 

    ain't 
    been 
    there 
    in some 
    time 

    And 
    it's just 
    exactly 
    where 
    I want 
    to go 

    Verse 4
    I can 
    tell 
    you 
    how 
    I started 
    in 

    the cir
    cus 
    as 
    a barker 

    Drawin' 
    people 
    in 
    from 
    far 
    and 
    wide 

    They 
    never 
    did 
    regret 
    the 

    dollar 
    that 
    it cost 
    'em 

    We 
    always 
    left 
    'em feelin' 

    good 
    in
    side 

    We were 
    headed 
    for 
    Montana 

    when we 
    hired 
    us 
    a dancer 

    Her 
    beauty 
    it 
    was 
    more 
    than I 
    can say 

    Then 
    one 
    summer 
    night 

    she set 
    my soul 
    on 
    fire 

    Lord, 
    I wish 
    that she 
    was 

    here 
    with me 
    today 

    Verse 5
    I'm 
    an old 
    hitchhiker, I 
    wonder 

    what's 
    a waitin' 
    'round 
    the bend 

    don't 
    know 
    what I 
    might 
    see 

    and I don't 
    need 
    no 
    guarantee 

    Just 
    a ride 
    from 
    here 
    to there 

    and back 
    again 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 6
    was 
    only 
    seventeen 
    when I 

    took 
    the 
    open 
    highway 

    Took it 
    for 
    my 
    teacher 
    and 
    a friend 

    I've been 
    thirty 
    years 
    a- 

    thumbin' 

    Some might 
    call 
    it bummin' 

    But it's 
    better 
    than 
    just 
    cryin' 
    in 
    the 
    wind 

    So 
    if you're 
    drivin' 
    down 
    the road 
    and 
    you come 
    across 

    an old 
    man 
    holdin' 
    out 
    his 
    thumb 
    in 
    the rain 

    Why don't 
    you 
    pull off 
    to 
    the side 

    let 
    the poor 
    boy 
    have 
    a ride 

    He can 
    tell 
    you all 
    the crazy 

    things 
    he's 
    seen 

    Verse 7
    I'm 
    an 
    old 
    hitchhiker 
    lookin' to 

    the far 
    side 
    of 
    the hill 

    Some 
    people 
    say 
    I'll settle 
    down 

    Build 
    a home 
    in some 
    small 
    town 

    But with
    in 
    my 
    heart 
    know 
    nev
    er 
    will 

    I'm 
    an old

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
