You know I'm standing on 75 Highway
Ole lightning trying to flag a ride
You know I'm standing on 75 Highway
Poor Lightnin' trying to flag a ride

Yeah it looks like all my friends seem to know me
Oh but it kept passing me on by

You know it look like the bus had done stopped running
Train don't let me ride no more
Ticket agent say your ticket done played out Sam
I'm gonna see you don't ride for sure
Standing on 75 Highway
Poor old Sam I'm trying to flag a ride

Yeah you know it looks like all my friends seem to know me
Poor but to pass poor Sam on by

You know I walk 75 Highway
'Til I wore the bottom out from under my shoes
You know I walk 75 Highway, Darling
'Til I wore the bottom out from under my shoes
Yes I said I wasn't gonna quit walking
Woman until I catch up, up with you

You know I got so horny
'Til got weak in my knees
Didn't nobody still
Seem to care nothing for me
And I was standing on 75 Highway
Poor boy trying to flag a ride
Yeah you know know my little girl
She had left me
That's the reason I was dis-satisfied
I got so hung one morning
Ask the woman for a day
Y'all look at me
How I was looking that day
Asked her for a piece of bread
She said go ahead
I said I'm hungry miss
She said it looks like you already been fed, you know
75 Highway
Oh Lord poor Lightnin' trying to flag a ride

Yeah you know all my friends seem to know me
But it kept on passing me on by

Hard Highway 75
