The hitchhiker can be interpreted as Bruce himself at the beginning of his artistic career and even the characters he encounters on the road like other reproductions or cliches of himself or his work.
In the same way that the entire Western Stars album is a journey and balance of his life and work...
Thumb stuck out as I go
I'm just travelin' up the road
Maps don't do much for me, friend
I follow the weather and the wind
I'm hitch hikin' all day long
Got what I can carry and my song
I'm a rolling stone just rolling on
Catch me now 'cause tomorrow, I'll be gone
Family man gives me a ride
Got his pregnant Sally at his side
Yes indeed, sir, children are a gift
Thank you kindly for the lift
I'm hitch hikin' all day long
Trucker gears his engine down
Says, "Climb on up, son, I'm highway-bound"
Dashboard picture of a pretty girl
I'm ridin' high on top of the world
I'm hitch hikin' all day long
Gearhead in a souped-up '72
Wants to show a kid just what this thing'll do
Telephone poles and trees go whizzin' by
Thank you, pal, she sure can fly
I'm hitch hikin' all day long
I'm hitch hikin' all day long
I'm hitch hikin' all day long
