Hitchhiking

Lyrics

[INTRO] (Spoken) It was a hot day in ’56, Out in the desert, no one in the mix. Just me and my car, feeling so alive, But little did I know, this ride wouldn’t survive. [VERSE 1] Dust storms swirling, sun blaring down, Cruisin’ down that long, winding town. Lost in the tunes, my heart filled with dreams, But fate had plans that tore at the seams. With a screech and a spin, I lost control, Hit a cacti patch, that took its toll. Metal crumpled, my spirit fell low, In the middle of nowhere, no one to show. [CHORUS] Oh, I wrecked my car in the desert heat, Thought I was stranded, death’s bittersweet. But up in the sky, I saw a flash, An alien ship, in a cosmic crash. (Yeah, yeah!) He said, “Hop aboard, I'll take you home, Forget all your worries, you’re never alone.” [VERSE 2] He had big green eyes and a grin so wide, Told me about worlds where love never died. With a wave of his hand, he repaired my ride, In a spaceship of dreams, I felt a new pride. Stars flashed by, as we soared through the night, He taught me to dance in the shimmering light. Laughing and chatting, just like old friends, In that cosmic chariot, our journey transcends. [CHORUS] Oh, I wrecked my car in the desert heat, Thought I was stranded, death’s bittersweet. But up in the sky, I saw a flash, An alien ship, in a cosmic crash. (Yeah, yeah!) He said, “Hop aboard, I'll take you home, Forget all your worries, you’re never alone.” [BRIDGE] So through the galaxies, we raced in delight, With every light-year, I embraced the night. Learned every color, every spark in the sky, In the alien's laughter, I felt I could fly. [VERSE 3] Finally back down, my home in sight, He smiled and waved, vanished into the night. I parked that old wreck where it belongs, But I’ll never forget
