Hitched

Hitched - Paco del Stinko

Out in the desert under the sun
An endless road and one lone thumb
Who pulled over who gave the ride
Who was the last one to see you alive

You hitched- You hitched- You hitched- You hitched


The road unfolds like a sea of black leather
And I've sailed it thousands of times
Streetlamps and billboards, guardrails and sidewalk
Passing on either side of the line
I see them alone looking for me
They gesture, beckon and ask me to stop
They should know better than to play with loose ends
For I am the one that will tie the knot


Up in the hills the crickets chirp
Party's over and your feet hurt
Headlights behind you turned and waved
You got your ride and a shallow grave


You hitched- You hitched- You hitched- You hitched
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Just Paco and me so far? Bass-tastic.

Hitched by Dirge

Hold me down lest I float away
Buoyant blood flows through these veins
And I cannot keep my feet on the ground
I need to be hitched down

Drive a spike through my hand and tether me to this realm
A flash of pain, a taste of blood is all I know is all I can taste

My heart beats helium and explodes
Red and blue, yes I do, how else would I swear to you?
Flapping in the breeze I float away
Please help bring me back down

It's all I can stand to be held down

This is a miracle, this I cannot believe
As a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve
It's amazing that you remain here by my side

You've been hitched to me

Hitched - Pigfarmer Jr

You say you wanna go to the fair
You say you wanna see everybody there
You only got a nickle to your name
But if you go, you'll have fun just the same

Hitch up your mule
Hitch up your mule
Hitch up your mule to the wagon in the yard
Hitch up your mule
Hitch up your mule
Hitch up your mule to the wagon in the yard

You're gonna have to hitch a ride
Go get Betsy a-grazing outside
Hurry up, you don't have long
Cinch up the traces, and don't get it wrong

Hitch up your mule
Hitch up your mule
Hitch up your mule to the wagon in the yard
Hitch up your mule
Hitch up your mule
Hitch up your mule to the wagon in the yard

It's only that's invoked in you that truly does become.
Pride and joy a synergy that you, belong.
So carefully indulge the sweet not blinding force of one....
You become
And you become
You'll become...

And all of you, that once was you, is sill in you, because
There's no loss of ground, no loss from frowns, excepted just because
So easy then
Like brand new friends
No need to lie...
... or to pretend

So easy then
Like best of kin
Not hiding when, you, cry

You become
(you become)
You'll become...
You become
Two for one, Two for one

HITCHED / King Arthur

I woke up one morning, and I said to myself
I think I'd rather be anywhere but here
You know I just felt ready to let my home town
Disappear in some stranger's mirror.

Now I'm twenty miles further down the road less traveled
Than I was when I went to sleep last night.
Woke up this morning, looked down the road
I stuck out my thumb and I hitched a ride.

Don't really have any destination
There's no particular place I'm trying to find
Just wanna put some more miles between
Me and the life I've left behind.

chorus (fifty)

Got a little money I can give you for gas
But I understand if you roll right past
Got a few stories that I could tell
But I could save 'em for the next car just as well

chorus (a hundred) 2x

Hitched

Treat your love more careful
Now you know the magic
It’s not worth the trifle
There’s no excuse to have it
You always wanted more
I’m settling the score

I showed up when she broke down
I pulled her out of the ditch
In the showdown we couldn’t break up
‘cuz we were too tightly hitched

Don’t be such a scarecrow
Says the cowardly lion
We’re almost out of escrow
It took a fortune buying
You never risk a fight
But I’m always towing the line

I showed up when she broke down
I pulled her out of the ditch
In the showdown we couldn’t break up
‘cuz we were too tightly hitched

Life is not forever
It’s just a slice of time
When we are together
It’s the cherry of the pie

I showed up when she broke down
I pulled her out of the ditch
In the showdown we couldn’t break up
‘cuz we were too tightly hitched

Hitched
by Pepper Jane

Verse 1
In my heart, there's still a long way to go
In my mind, there's just a few more things I need to know
In my hands, I'm hitched

Chorus
Hitched to my guitar, hitched to my father
Hitched to the love of God above
Hitched to the idea that you could be with me
Baby I'm hooked on your love

Hook 1
And I don't need you to participate
This could just be my own solo fate
Oh my darlin, I'm hitched

Verse 1, Chorus

Hook 2
And I don't need you to reiterate
How excited you are: I can't wait
Oh my darling, to get hitched

Chorus, Hook 2, Chorus

Hook 3
And I don't need you to seek to find
I'm outside your window, just open your blinds
Oh my darlin', and let's get hitched
Everything is about perspective. :shock:
