Hitchhikers Tune
Chasing Sunshine in Life's Rain: The DropOffs' Hitchhikers Tune
Lyrics
It was just this morning
Reflecting on a recent morning.
That the sun was shining through
Describing a sunny morning.
But now the rain is fallin
Currently experiencing rain and feeling helpless.
There ain't nothin' I can do
Expressing powerlessness in the face of the rain.
Thought I'd take a ride just to try and getaway
Decided to take a ride to escape or find solace.
Just hoping that tomorrow will bring me yesterday
Hoping for a better tomorrow, reminiscing about the past.
Oh I wish the sun would shine today
Expressing a desire for the sun to shine today.
No I wish the sun would shine today
Reiterating the wish for sunshine.
And oh Mr. Sun won't you shine today
Directly addressing Mr. Sun, asking for sunshine.
Oh Mr. Sun won't you shine on today
Repeated request for the sun to shine.
Saw a man with my two eyes
Observing a man on Route 395.
Walking down 395
Providing the location where the man was seen.
I said man what's the weather out
Asking about the weather; man replies he's "barely alive."
He said he's "barely alive"
Describing the man's condition.
And when he looked at me I could tell he's had some,
Observing that the man has had better days.
Had some better days
Confirming the man's difficult experiences.
I told him "get in the car boy" and we were on our way no no no
Offering help by inviting the man into the car.
Oh I wish the sun would shine today
Repeating the desire for sunshine.
Oh I wish the sun would shine today
Expressing the wish for the sun to shine.
And oh Mr. Sun won't you shine on today
Asking Mr. Sun to shine on this day.
Oh Mr. Sun won't you shine on today
Repeated plea for Mr. Sun to shine.
Got a little scared when he showed me his, Colt 45
Feeling uneasy when the man reveals a Colt 45.
Ay boy what you need that for he said, he said just to survive
Questioning the need for the weapon; man says it's for survival.
And then he asked me what I want on this dark and dreary day
Man inquires about desires on a dark day.
I said all I, I really want is for the sun to come out and play
Expressing a simple wish for the sun to come out.
Oh I wish the sun would shine today
Reiterating the desire for sunshine.
Oh I wish the sun would shine on today
Expressing the wish for the sun to shine on this day.
And oh Mr. Sun won't you shine on today
Asking Mr. Sun to shine on this day.
And no I wish the sun would shine today
Repeating the wish for the sun to shine today.
Sometimes it seems to me like time is moving slow
Feeling that time is moving slowly.
Oh it's a feeling my friend that I think, I think you'll never know
Suggesting a feeling that others may not understand.
I'm still dreaming of the green grass and that ocean sparkling bright
Dreaming of pleasant memories and a brighter future.
And the stars high above
Imagining a serene scene with stars above.
You won't see em' tonight no no no
Anticipating the absence of visible stars tonight.
Oh I wish the sun would shine today
Repeating the desire for the sun to shine today.
No I wish the sun would shine on today
Reiterating the wish for sunshine.
Oh I wish the sun would shine today
Expressing a continued desire for the sun to shine.
No I wish the sun would shine on today
Repeating the wish for the sun to shine on this day.
