- Pickin' Up Strangers Lyrics(CHORUS)
Pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
You never know what they're out to get from you
You never know what they're gonna try to do
Pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
Some are just common thieves they say
The next thing you know, one'll steal your heartme away.
Sometimes this old life
Seems like a highway
It keeps rollin', on and on
And on that highway
You meet a lot of strangers
You pass a lot of dangers on your way home.
Pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
If you don't like takin' chances, then
You better keep movin' on, my friend.
And pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
Some are just common thieves, they say
The next thing you know, one'll steal your heart away
(Repeat chorus and fade)
Pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
You never know what they're out to get from you
You never know what they're gonna try to do
Pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
Some are just common thieves they say
The next thing you know, one'll steal your heartme away.
Sometimes this old life
Seems like a highway
It keeps rollin', on and on
And on that highway
You pass a lot of dangers on your way home.
Pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
If you don't like takin' chances, then
You better keep movin' on, my friend.
And pickin' up strangers
Let me tell you 'bout the dangers
Some are just common thieves, they say
The next thing you know, one'll steal your heart away
(Repeat chorus and fade)
