[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, two, one, two, three, four!
[Verse 2]
Cold turkey's getting 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 swelling up, I say
"One, two, one, two, three, four!"
[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 dehydrated
My tongue is swelling up, I say...
"Shit!"
[Instrumental Break]
[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 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!)
