Trying to get to Frisco looking for my girl

I remember years ago hitchin the same road
C
Never saw a trucker leave a man out in the cold

No riders sign on the window never meant a thing

Nowadays they just roll on looking kind of mean

Kind of makes me wonder scratch my head and kick the snow

Four years overseas who are these strangers in my home

Bb F G
Were they simply bought and sold
