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
