william finn - hitchhiking across america lyrics

[db]
after college
i set out to travel
the country
tried to make a friend
put my thumb out
wondered how it’d all come out
and how this thing would end

i’d had women in the past
now i’m looking toward tomorrow
hitchhiking across america
with a sign that’s saying
“i like boys”
picked up by a rover
at the setting of the sun
glad to get it over
i just did it, and was done
and i have to say
i kinda had some fun

i met a plumber
i screwed a tailor
i was picked up by a drummer
and a sailor got his guy
but today when i love you
hey, how i love you
i think of all the cars that p-ssed me by

and i was h-tchhiking across america
waiting for you
hitchhiking across america
waiting for you
hitchhiking across america
but i never saw you coming
coming down the road

’round near dallas
i roped a few steers before i moved on
tried to make a plan
smart and callous
not the stupid innocent
i was when i began
though the road was kind of long
there are moments i remember

hitchhiking across america
waiting for you
hitchhiking across america
waiting for you
hitchhiking across america
but i never saw you coming
coming down the road

i waited as plymouths and desotos
a yearbook’s worth of photos
came at me all aglow
i waited for what i didn’t really know

it’s been how long?
fifteen years or so?
it feels like thirty
sometimes feels like five
this is your song
also my song, too
but i’m just glad that we’re alive
i stood out there on the road
full of dread and full of wonder
hitchhiking across america
that was something this dumb kid once did
now that we’re older
and we’re wise and settled down
i’m standing on the shoulder
of the road outside of town
and i watch the cars
and wonder where they’re bound

will they meet lovers?
will they get happiness?
when they slip beneath the covers of the bed
who will they find?
what will they find?
but today when i love you
god, how i love you
i think of all the lives we’ve left behind
and i was

[db & company]
hitchhiking across america
waiting for you
hitchhiking across america
waiting for you
hitchhiking across america
[db]
and then, by god
i saw you
coming down the road
coming down the road
coming down the-
hitchhiking across america
and then by god i saw you
coming down the road
coming
coming down the road [company]

hitchhiking across america
oo hitchhiking across america
coming down the road
hitchhiking across america
ohh…
ohh…
mmm…
