  			Hitchin? a Ride 
 
(Bass Intro) 
Hey mister, where you headed?  
Are you in a hurry?  
I need a lift to happy hour.  
Say oh no.  
Do you brake for distilled spirits?  
I need a break as well.  
The well that inebriates the guilt.  
1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4. 
 
(B5 A5 G#5 G5 x5) 
 
Cold turkey's getting stale, tonight I'm eating crow.  
Fermented salmonella poison oak no  
There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm  
dehydrating.  
My tongue is swelling up, as say 1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.  
 
(B5 A5 G#5 G5 x5) 
(E5 F#5 B5 A5 G#5 G5=Chorus) 
 
Chorus: 
Troubled times, you know i can not lie.  
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride.  
There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm  
dehydrating.  
My tongue is swelling up, I say Shit!

(Chorus)
