Lyrics Tom Paxton – Hitch To My Gitalong

I got a little hitch in my gitalong
My gitalong just won’t get the way it used to
Gotta take a switch to my gitalong
Just to get along home to you

When I look back I see a little bitty boy
And run so fast and jump so high
But that was then when I was young
And I thought that I could fly

Now I got a little hitch in my gitalong
My gitalong just won’t get the way it used to
Gotta take a switch to my gitalong
Just to get along home to you

I never have thought that my bones would creak
My back would ache as the years slipped by
The days grew short and nights grew long
But I still thought I could fly

But I got a little hitch in my gitalong
My gitalong just won’t get the way it used to
Better take a switch to my gitalong
Just to get along home to you

Comin’ home tonight I was an hour late
Couldn’t really say when you asked me why
Like this gravity held me to the earth
And it would not let me fly

So I got a little hitch in my gitalong
My gitalong just won’t get the way it used to
Better take a switch to my gitalong
Just to get along home to you
Just to get along home to you
