lyrics

Hitchhiking thru' Wisconsin, got in a truck
Something in the back but he'd said not to look
Ed was the name I remember he gave
He was old he was frail & he stank of the grave
The moonlight lit up a sly grin
He said mother was calling to him
Hitchhiking to Hell, all the way would be touched by that smell.

An actor pulled up in a racy sports-car
Broken hearts on the fender he gazed off afar
A rebel they'd called him but he wasn't sure
With a cause or without one they'd sell his allure
The rear-view mirror, he claimed.
Was to spy on the broken & maimed
Hitchhiking to Hell, I thought he played his part pretty well.

A blonde bombshell pulled over & giggled & sighed
She was obsessed with pink, I was glad of the ride
I'm just the girl who can't help it" she said
I knew that someday she'd be losing her head
When the car came to a halt
Someone whispered it was LaVeys fault
Hitchhiking to Hell, helped by an angel who'd fell.

On a backseat Hank The Drifter he sat
He was long, he was tall in a grey cowboy hat
He'd often heard the lonesome whip poor whill
He had bottles of whisky & bottles of pills
A ramblin' man with the blues.
Backache & born to lose
Hitchhiking to Hell, oh the stories he'd sing & he'd tell.

I stand at the crossroads this calm & dry night
On any horizon no traffic in sight
The voices of my rides come back on the breeze
Distant, insistent like bad memories
Saying 'Don't put your thumb in the air
'cos buddy your already there.
