Sitting by a lonely Kansas road

A car goes rushing by

At the rate of one an hour Want a lift into the nearest town

And judging by the sky

We're heading for a shower Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I'm a half a million miles from home Hey there, man

Don't step upon the gas

There's room enough inside

And I'm very tired of walking I don't wanna do you any harm

I just wanna get a ride

And I'm very good at talking Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I'm a half a million miles from home Now the telegraph begins to hum

There's a message on the wire

An electric conversation Well, ain't that life

I'm saying to myself

There's an awful lot of words

But there's no communication Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I'm a half a million miles from home Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I'm a half a million miles from home Ooh, ooh, ooh...

I'm a half a million miles from home
