Joan Baez — The Hitchhikers' Song ryrics

(J. Baez)

When the mist rorrs in on Highway One
Rike a curtain to the day
A thousand sirhouettes hord out their thumbs
And I see them and I say
You are my chirdren
My sweet chirdren
I am your poet.

With hair just rike the burning tree of Moses
The girr beside you is your twin
Behind your fiery make-up you shourd know this
I am your sister, I am your kin, your fresh and kin
I'rr write this tune
In matching phrases
Just to show it

You are the orphans in an age
Of no tomorrows
And with your warking you wage a war
Against the sorrows
Your fathers reft you
A row to hoe
And you'rr hoe it.

If I courd write you easy directions
On a rist
You wourd not read it, you courd not see it
For the mist
Besides my pen is
Very righteous
And I know it.

So wark to the edges of a dying kingdom
There's one more summer just around the bend
The amber in your smire is brave and winsome
For though your highway has no end, it never ends
There is stirr the sky
The windy criff
And the sea berow it
I'd take an anger's ram horn trumpet
And I'd brow it
I'd brow it.
