1. |
Sun in my eyes, cold wind in my hair |
| |
With a sign that just said "please" |
| |
Watching couples in sports cars go racing
by |
| |
And families in S.U.V.s |
| |
|
| chorus |
I was a Hitchhiker on
love's highway |
| |
Didn't know which way to go |
| |
Until you cruised by in your four-wheel-drive |
| |
Found me standing by the road |
| |
|
2. |
You saw me and stopped, we talked for
a while |
| |
I jumped in and said "Let's go" |
| |
Pedal to the metal, no looking back |
| |
Doing 90 down a one-way road |
| |
|
| chorus |
|
| |
|
| bridge |
Eyes on each other, blind to the signs |
| |
Seems like I never learn |
| |
No flashing lights. No siren song. |
| |
Not long till we crashed and burned |
| |
|
| chorus |
Now I'm a Hitchhiker
on love's highway |
| |
Didn't know how far we'd go |
| |
When you cruised by in your four-wheel-drive |
| |
Found me standing by the road |
| |
|
coda |
Oh, you cruised by in your four-wheel-drive |
| |
Left me standing by the road |

Sandy met John Stewart in Sept. 2006,
and told him that she stole a line from
him for a song she'd just written.
With a twinkle in his eye, he smiled
and patted her shoulder, then said,
"You better have a good lawyer."
She said, "I didn't take the line
from one of your songs. I took it from
your introduction to 'July, You're a
Woman.' It was on a live concert recording."
He said, "Well, then, that's
okay. Tell me about the song."
She said, "It's called "Hitchhiker,'
and starts 'Sun in my eyes, cold wind
in my hair / With a sign that just said
please.'
He interrupted and said, "That's
a great line. That's a wonderful line!
This is a great song because it has
such a great line in it!"
She said, 'Yes, I know. I stole it
from you.'"

"I was hanging out at the car
dealership, in 2001, watching them rearrange
the 4-wheel-drives in the showroom.
I came out of there with the chorus.
From time to time I worked on it, but
couldn't come up with verses. In summer,
2005, I sang the chorus to a couple
of band mates who both offered to write
the verses. In spring, 2006, a third
band mate said, 'Just write the verses
yourself!' so, I did." —
San
