Hitchin' a Ride Lyrics
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 aswell
The well that inebriates the guilt
1,2,1,2,3,4
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 I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say 1,2,1,2,3,4
Troubled times
You know I cannot 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!
Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride
Hitchin' a ride [*8]

this song is about drinking and a man who is giving in to his old habit due to the static life of sobriety. After you quit drinking for a while, it still haunts you...and sooner or later, you give in....god bless the devils juice
Yeah, at Pop Disaster...Billie Joe had complete control over the fans...if he said something quiet...the fans replied with something quiet and if he screamed, the fans would scream. The crowd responce was insane...they are definately the best live band.

cmon its a great song ! yeah its a classic :)
this song is great, i just love the sound of it!
this song rocks, i loooove the sound of it. its VERY VERY VERY awesome live, but of course greenday is the best live band ever. anyways..yeah.. good song. lyrics arent the best but it's okay, the song is mainly for the music
This song is awesome. I also got to hear Dave Matthews cover it and they did a great job.
I must agree...this song is fucking incredible when they play it live. At the warped tour show, everyone in the crowd literally fell to one side...BJ actually stopped singing (mike and tre kept playing) and get everyone up on their feet. "People came here to hear music, not fucking die" Gotta love the man.
Yeah, at pop disaster they got the whole crowd into the song, which they did with every song, but still. And hell yes Green Day is definantly the best live band in rock and roll.
GREEN DAY RULES, THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG BY THEM. sorry for shouting, but it's damn good. Pop Disaster was nutty.
