Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been a Savior, a sideman, a stranger

Stung by anger, burned by love

Feel so scattered, like nothing really matters anymore

Put that sign out, on my front door

[Verse 2]

Hitchin' a ride down the P-C-H

I got some things I need to say

Calling out a friend of mine

[Verse 3]

I don't know where the years have gone

Just know I'm worse for hangin' on

Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie

Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

[Verse 4]

I knew a good man, he was a break in the clouds

Hangin' so low down

It's got me to thinkin', it's not like he gave in

He just never got that second wind

[Verse 5]

Hitchin' a ride down the P-C-H

I got some things I need to say

Calling out a friend of mine

[Verse 6]

I don't know where the years have gone

Just know I'm worse for hangin' on

Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie

Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

[Verse 7]

Ojai

Ojai

[Verse 8]

I've been a Savior, a sideman, a stranger

Son, hedge your wager 'cause life ain't fair

I've been shaken, sorely mistaken, this path I've taken

Is goin' nowhere

[Verse 9]

Hitchin' a ride down the P-C-H

I got some things I need to say

Calling out a friend of mine

[Verse 10]

I don't know where the years have gone

Just know I'm worse for hangin' on

Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie

Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai
