Lyrics

Hitchhiker

[Verse 1]

You fool

Dude, what do you think you're doin'?

So you're lost

My problem is not, conductor says, "Off of my train"

Be understood

Guess those relationships ain't my thing

Even if I could

You ain't the kinda person I would help anyway

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I'm about to explode

'Cause I can't carry your load

[Chorus]

Hitchhiker

Go, hitchhiker

[Verse 2]

You're cool

And cold in your calculations

We're friends

Only because of my situation

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I'm about to unload

'Cause I can't carry your load

[Chorus]

Hitchhiker

Go, hitchhiker

[Instrumental Break]

[Hook]

Hitchhiker

[Verse 3]

So be gone

Too soon is too late, I don't want no delay

So be gone

Get your food off someone else's plate

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Go tell all of your friends

I'm an idiot and you're great

[Chorus]

Hitchhiker

Hitchhiker

Now go, hitchhiker

Go, hitchhiker
