The Hitchhiker

This highway's mine, goodbye to Jayne, so long, farewell, Virginia Plain, strife was yesterday's heavy load, life is tomorrow's open road, it's time to hitchhike once again. Heading where songs, don't sound the same, and no-one stops to ask your name, they'll think I'm another Tom Joad, this highway's mine. Generations tried to explain, through war in Spain, and Catskill rain, how quickly continents explode, but somehow memories corrode, and now the past returns again, this highway's mine.
