Descriptions:
“Hitchhiker” by Neil Young is a raw, autobiographical song that chronicles his journey through fame, drug use, self-reflection, and personal growth. Although it was written in 1976, the song wasn’t officially released until 2010 on his album Le Noise.
Lyrics
When I was a hitchhiker on the roadI had to count on youBut you needed me to ease the load snd for conversation tooOr did you just drive on through?
You didn’t see me in TorontoWhen I first tried out some hashI smoked through a pen and I’d do it again if I only had some cashIf I only had some cash, ooh
Then I tried amphetaminesMy head was in a glassTaped underneath the speedometer wires of my ’48 Buick’s dashBut I knew that wouldn’t last
Then came CaliforniaWhen I first saw open waterIn the land of opportunityI knew I was getting hotterI knew I was getting hotter
But the neon light and the endless nightThey took me by surpriseThe doctor gave me Valium but I still couldn’t close my eyesI still couldn’t close my eyes
Then came paranoiaAnd it ran away with meI couldn’t sign my autograph or appear on TVOr see or be seen
Living in the countrySounded good to meSmoking grass with my Chicago lass in the real organic seaWhere everything was green
We had a kid and we split apartNow I’m living on the roadAnd a little cocaine goes a long, long way to ease that different loadBut that ain’t all that I know
I wish I was an AztecOr a runner in PeruI would build such beautiful buildingsTo house the chosen fewLike an Inca from Peru
