Hitchhiker's Lullaby - Red Wanting Blue, Will Hoge

Three more days and counting 'til we get back to the road

Radar Hill sent us a message a long time ago

Never forget the way the sun goes down in Ohio

Those were the days we got the ball rolling

But the ball had to roll

Someone somewhere will remember us

The years we got lost when the world needed us

Heads in the clouds, hearts sworn to never rust

Thumbs to the road and the rest was dust

We crossed a great wide ocean of grain

Chasing sunsets made of gold

I thought for sure the Badlands would break us

But they sent us down the road

Rocky Mountain welcome wagon got us so high

Our roots nearly took hold

We had a ball out in Colorado, but the ball had to roll

Someone somewhere will remember us

The years we got lost when the world needed us

Heads in the clouds, hearts sworn to never rust

Thumbs to the road and the rest was dust

Made it to the coast with nothing to boast

But warm and weary bones

I always dreamt they’d roll the red carpet

Out for us old rolling stones

Chase the sunset to Santa Monica Beach

And felt the sand between our toes

California’s so beautiful, we bawled

When the ball had to roll

Heads in the clouds, hearts sworn to never rust

Thumbs to the road and the rest was dust

Someone somewhere will remember us

The years we got lost when the world needed us

Heads in the clouds, hearts sworn to never rust

Thumbs to the road and we’re gone with the dust
