Hitchin’ a Ride

I wrote this song beside the road when my truck broke down..

Got up before the sun, coffee in my hand

Headed for the coastline, a beautiful, coastal land

My old Dodge Ram was hummin’, felt good and strong and true

Then we hit that mountain pass, and she decided she was through

Pulled off the shoulder, heard a mighty metal clang

Just me and the pines and the silence that they sang
