Hitchhiker’s Lullaby

Appearing On:
The Wanting

Lyrics:

Three more days and counting
‘Til we get back to the road
Radar Hill sent us a message
A long time ago
Never forget the way the sun
Goes down in Ohio
Those were the days
That got the ball rolling
But the ball had to roll

Someone somewhere will remember us
The years we got lost
When the world needed us
Heads in the clouds
Hearts sworn to never rust
Thumbs to the road
And the rest was dust

We crossed a great wide ocean of grain
Chasing sunsets made of gold
I thought for sure the Badlands
Would break us but they sent us
Down the road
Rocky Mountain welcome wagon
Got us so high our roots
Nearly took hold
Yeah, we had a ball out in Colorado
But the ball had to roll

Someone somewhere will remember us
The years we got lost
When the world needed us
Heads in the clouds
Hearts sworn to never rust
Thumbs to the road
And the rest was dust

Ooh..

Made it to the coast with nothing to boast
But worn and weary bones
I always dreamt they’d roll the red carpet
Out for us old rolling stones
Chased the sunset to Santa Monica beach
And felt the sand between our toes
California’s so beautiful we balled
When the ball had to roll

Ahh…
Heads in the clouds
Hearts sworn to never rust
Thumbs to the roads
And the rest was dust

Someone somewhere will remember us
The years we got lost
When the world needed us
Heads in the clouds
Hearts sworn to never rust
Thumbs to the road
And the rest was dust
Thumbs to the road
And we’re gone with the dust
