Pull 'em
Was ridin' along side the highway,rollin' up the countryside
Thinkin' i'm the devil's heatwave,what you burn in your crazy mind?
Saw a slight distraction,standin' by the road
She was smilin' there,Yellow in her hair
Do ya wanna,i was thinkin',would you care?
Sweet hitch a hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch a hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Crusin'on through the junction
I'm flyin' bout the speed of sound
Noticin' peculiar function
I ain't no roller coaster show me down
I turned away to see her
Whoa,she caught my eye
But i was rollin' down,movin' too fast
Do you wanna,she was thinkin' can it last
Sweet hitch a hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch a hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Was busted up along the highway
I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive
Wond'ring if your goin' my way
Won't you give a poor boy a ride?
Here she come a ridin',lord she's flyin' high
But she was rollin' down,movi

Creedance Clearwater Revival, Sweet Hitchhiker.
By 1970, CCR had undeniably become the number one American rock and roll attraction. The man responsible for their exalted position was John Fogerty. In addition to writing the band's material and producing their records, John sang with a powerful, raw-edged voice that was the Creedence sound. The same genius responsible for Creedence's tremendous popularity, however, also contributed to their eventual demise. Tensions arose among the other group members as they vied for greater say in band decisions which had, till then, been made exclusively by John. An agreement for more democratic decision-making was reached, but came too late for Tom Fogarty.
In February 1971, Tom, fed up with the dominance of his younger brother John, announced his departure from the band to work as a solo artist. The remaining group continued to work as a trio. The first single of reorganized CCR, "Sweet Hitchhiker" came out in July. The band's major tour of the U.S., Europe, Australia and Japan began in July and met with a reasonably good reception.
On their seventh and last studio album, "Mardi Gras", Stu Cook and Doug Clifford wrote two thirds of the album's songs. The disc reached #12 on the US album chart, mostly because of the band's reputation rather than the content. In October 1972, Creedence Clearwater Revival was officially disbanded.
Hope that helps!

Hopefully this was some help.
