Thoughts in time and out of season
The Hitchhiker
Stood by the side of the road
And leveled his thumb
In the calm calculus of reason
Hi. How you doin'? I just got back into town L.A.
I was out on the desert for awhileRiders on the stormYeah. In the middle of itRiders on the stormRight...Into this world we're bornHey, listen, man, I really got a problemInto this world we're thrownWhen I was out on the desert, ya knowLike a dog without a bone
An actor out on loanI don't know how to tell youRiders on the stormBut, ah, I killed somebodyThere's a killer on the roadNo...His brain is squirming like a toadIt's no big deal, ya know
I don't think anybody will find out about it, but... take a long holidayJust, ah...Let your children play
This guy gave me a ride, and ah...If you give this man a rideStarted giving me a lot of troubleSweet family will dieAnd I just couldn't take it, ya knowKiller on the roadAnd I wasted himYeah |
