Hitchhiker Lyrics

Lyric discussion by colonel schwartz 

Cover art for Hitchhiker lyrics by Pearl Jam

from the Lost Dogs booklet:

Ed: "Nature has its own religion,... Evolution, Baby. Where the deer and wild pigs run, there are plants along the trails that attach spiny seeds onto the legs of anything passing,... soon the plants are spread for miles. Ingenious. On a hike with my brother we were covered from knee to ankle in these things,... he called them 'hitchhikers.' Also a nickname for professionals who harangue you for autographs that they turn around and sell,... otherwise known as 'Blue-Penners.'"

sweet song
