"HITCHHIKING"

Do you remember that day
Thom
Do you remember that day
And the snow and the springs
of the mountain that sings 
and the grass that travels up to the road
and the cars that pass you so fast
and the stares
and the glares 
from the ladies so fair 
through the cars back window 

Do you remember that day 
Thom 
Do you remember that day 
and the stares 
and the glares 
from the ladies so fair 
you finally got a ride 
and you sit there full of pride 
and the thump thump thump 
of the door and the trunk 
and the thump pity thump 
of the music 
of the band 
playing on the radio 
The girls were charming 
chancing 
advancing 
and romancing 
your head in a spin 
round and round 
out and in 

Never again 
Thom 
never again 
your finally going home 
you've left your life at the side of the road 
no sound on the road where you wait 
no ride on the road going home 
no sound 
only boom 
in the nights silent gloom
