Lyrics
Hey mister, where you headed?
Asking someone about their destination
Are you in a hurry?
Inquiring if the person is in a hurry
Need a lift to happy hour? Say "Oh, no"
Offering a ride to happy hour and sensing reluctance
Do you brake for distilled spirits?
Asking if the person stops for alcoholic drinks
I need a break as well
Expressing a need for a break
The well that inebriates the guilt
Referring to alcohol as a source of comfort
One, two, one, two, three, four
Musical interlude
Cold turkey's getting stale
Getting tired of abstinence
Tonight I'm eating crow
Admitting a mistake or defeat
Fermented salmonella, poison oak, no
Mentioning various unpleasant things
There's a drought at the fountain of youth
Describing a lack of vitality and energy
And I'm dehydrated
Feeling thirsty and deprived
My tongue is swelling up
Experiencing physical discomfort
I say "One, two, one, two, three, four"
Musical interlude
Troubled times
Acknowledging challenging times
You know I cannot lie
Emphasizing honesty
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride
Admitting to falling off the wagon and seeking a ride
There's a drought at the fountain of youth
Reiterating a lack of vitality
And I'm dehydrated
Expressing dehydration and discomfort
My tongue is swelling up, I say, "Shit"
Reacting to the physical discomfort
Troubled times
Highlighting challenging times again
You know I cannot lie
Reiterating the commitment to honesty
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride (don't know where to go)
Confirming the decision to hitch a ride due to uncertainty
Hitchin' a ride (don't know where to go)
Repeating the act of hitching a ride and expressing uncertainty
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 ride (don't know where to go)
-Hitchin' a ride (don't know where to go)
-Hitchin' a ride (say birthday boys, hey)
