Hitchin’ A Ride (Live at the Electric Factory, Philadelphia, 11/14/97)

[Verse 1]

Hey, mister, where you headed?

Are you in a hurry?

Need a lift to happy hour? Say "Oh no"

Do you brake for distilled spirits?

I need a break as well

The well that inebriates the guilt, one

[Verse 2]

Cold turkey's gettin' stale

Tonight, I'm eating crow

Fermented salmonella, poison oak, no

There's a drought at the fountain of youth

And I'm dehydrated

My tongue is swellin' up, I say, one, two, three

[Chorus]

Troubled times, you know I cannot lie

I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride

[Bridge]

There's a drought at the fountain of youth

And I'm dehydratеd

My tongue is swellin' up, I said

One, two (Onе, two, three, four)

[Chorus]

Troubled times, you know I cannot lie

I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride

[Outro]

(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride

(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride

(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride

(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a

(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride

(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride

(Don't know where to go) Hitchin' a ride

Say birthday boys, hey

[Outro]

Well, howdy neighbor

Why, why is it you guys seem so fucking far away?

Come on up here

I'm sick of this shit, what the fuck?

How you doing?

What the hell happened to Tré?

That's Tré

That's Mike

And my name is Paco Tachuela

So I remember some of you guys from about, about, about four years ago

And some of you guys were like, like fourteen

And with your like, you're with your parents and stuff, you're with your parents

You come to the show, you're with your parents, and they went

"Who are they? I really like that song 'Basket Case'"

But now, but now, no, check this out

Now you come back, you're like, eighteen

And you're completely fucked up

And I have to say one thing, I take full responsibility for that
