The Hitcher - Then Jerico

Who was in that car

You won’t get far

Some people never learn

You’re just a lonely girl

Living in this world

You had to take your turn

He picked you up that night

Picked you out in headlights

Turned on the radio

It was a warming glow

Hitcher, hitcher, hitch one ride

Took your life with a six inch knife

He put the secret into your brain

Moments later you died in pain

See the tractors they’re screaming by

They’re reflected in the windshield wipers

Be colder than gold and steel

If only you’d have grabbed the wheel

All over town

With some kid that you found

You were already dead

I could only protect myself

Who was in that car

Some people never learn

You hitched around this world

I told you not to go

You wouldn’t listen though

There in the pouring rain

You never felt such pain

And so you chose to ride

But did you choose to die

Hitcher, hitcher, hitch one ride

Took your life with a six inch knife

He put the secret into your brain

Moments later you died in pain

See the tractors they’re screaming by

They’re reflected in the windshield wipers

Be colder than gold and steel

If only you’d have grabbed the wheel

All over town

With some kid that you found

You were already dead

I could only protect myself

One ride, don’t die, oh come on let’s go

Hitcher, hitcher, hitch one ride

Don’t don’t die

Who was in that car

Come on, come on lets go

Hitcher, hitcher, hitch one ride
