don't hitch rides

Don't hitch rides
You don't know what will happen
On the road thumbing a ride

If you are a woman
On a lonely stretch of road
When night falls
When public buses fail to show
You feel afraid
The dark closing in

Waiting by the bus stand
Eyes peel on the road
Don't hitch rides
On a lonely stretch of road

It happens few weeks ago
A lonely Chinese woman thumbed a ride
This was the last time her family saw her
She didn't reach home until today
Along the stretch of Kuala Dipang road
Late at night when public buses fail to show

She hitched ride quite regularly
Experience should have warned her of the danger
The last rides with two Malay guys
She managed to call her husband informing him
This was the last message her husband had

Don't hitch rides
Along the road with strangers driving
If you are a woman
On a lonely stretch of road
