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
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
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
i’m a half a million miles from home
i’m a half a million miles from home
i’m a half a million miles from home
