Hitchhiker Lyrics

Lyric discussion by River Wolf 

Cover art for Hitchhiker lyrics by Neil Young

Just when I don't think Neil can get any better, he completely blows you away-this time with something so surreal and haunting

The journey of this co-dependent character is fascinating. Was the protagonist ever a hitch hiker or just always dependent on drugs. In the final part, the narrator reflects on how things could have been better and different which is something all of us do whether we wander the highways, do drugs, or have kids.
