Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, mister, where are you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
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
One, two, one, two, three, four
[Verse 2]
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 dehydrated
My tongue is swelling up
I say, "One, two, one, two, three, four"
[Chorus]
Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
I'm off the wagon, and I'm hitchin' a ride
[Bridge]
There's a drought at the fountain of youth
And now I'm dehydrated
My tongue is swelling up, I say...
"Shit!"
[Chorus]
Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
I'm off the wagon, and I'm hitchin' a ride
[Verse 3]
(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride
(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride
(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride
(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride
(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride
(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride
(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride
Say birthday boys, hey!
