Hitchhiking from Pinkerton Pendlebury by Pinkerton Pendlebury

The dawn went forever and the traffic had gone,
the cars ran on leaded and no sign of a phone,
sign said for four days that nobody had come,
old-enough to know better but I wanted my mum,
burning sleepers to keep extremities warm, two of us huddled in bag made for one,
a car appeared alone in the distant sun, packed to the brim, towing another one,
slowed down but it drove on menacing by,
necks craned to look but they would-n’t have hurt a fly,
come on, we got a ride catch, the temperatures droppin you know

Hitch hiken' to Katherine

I don’t remember when it all began,
Was near a town called Palmerston,
Sticking out a finger on the open road, heavy rain had meant the banks had overflowed,
The lifts came quickly down to Adelaide river, just in time for little bit of dinner,
We slept in shifts many hours it took, stopping off for water in Nit-mil-uk,
Mystical land of blue and red,
Totally enthralled we were mystified,
We made Mataranka without a single goddam wanker,
Stuart highway was a single lane you know ,

Oh come on
Who will drive me home
Gimme a sign here on
Gimme some oh yeah
