The Hitchhiker Songtext
von Jim Morrison

Thoughts in time and out of season
The Hitchhiker stood by the side of the road
And leveled his thumb in the calm calculus of reason


Hi, how are you doing?
I just got back into town, L.A
I was out on the desert for a while (Riders on the storm)
Yeah, in the middle of it, right (Riders on the storm)
(Into this House we′re born) Hey, listen, man, I really got a problem
(Into this world we're thrown) When I was out on the desert, ya know
(Like a dog without a bone, an actor out on loan) I don′t know how to tell you

(Riders on the storm) But, ah, I killed somebody
(There's a killer on the road) No

(His brain is squirmin' like a toad) It′s no big deal, you know
I don′t think anybody will find out about it, but (Take a long holiday)
(Let your children play) Just, ah
This guy gave me a ride, and ah (If you give this man a ride)
Started giving me a lot of trouble (Sweet family will die)

And I just couldn't take it, you know (Killer on the road)
And I wasted him (Yeah)
