Arms like a scarecrow, hitchin' for a ride
Skin like a leather tomb
Eyes like canyons where the rivers have dried
Dust under a paper moon
It runs hot in the summer in the Piedmont Plains
You meet the devil in the morning sun
And you take his heat a hundred hours in the week
'Til he lets you see the autumn come
It's enough to drive a young man insane
Make a woman wanna run away
I met Jack McKent, he was a handsome man
Was my ticket to a better place
Where do we go when the sun stays high?
Where do we go when we close our eyes?
Where do we go when we feel this tide?
Where do we go?
Well, we hitch a ride
Well, Jack and me, we never left the heat
Got pregnant in the early spring
But when Jack got mean, he'd raise his hand to me
And I never could predict his swings
And on the hottest night, under full moon light
He stole the one good thing we'd made
And like a dandelion with the feathers flyin'
The wind pulled my heart away
When do you know to put a sick dog down?
Where do you go when you cross that line?
Ain't no secrets in a southern town
Where do we go?
There are two dead bodies buried in the clay
Two souls that carried all of my love
And I'll run from the sin, and the law, and the devil
And judgement from the Lord above
And I'll leave my fate in the hands of strangers
Every driver on the great highway
I'm a phantom rider, black widow spider
Another orphan of the interstate
Where do we go when the sun stays high?
Where do we go when we close our eyes?
Where do we go when we feel this tide?
Where do we go?
Well, we hitch a ride
We're all running from something (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
Leaving someone behind (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
Always another car coming (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
When we hitch a ride (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
We're all picking up strangers (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
Just trust the look in their eye (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
We don't know we're in danger (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
When we hitch a ride (Hitch a ride, go, go)
Skin like a leather tomb
Eyes like canyons where the rivers have dried
Dust under a paper moon
It runs hot in the summer in the Piedmont Plains
You meet the devil in the morning sun
And you take his heat a hundred hours in the week
'Til he lets you see the autumn come
It's enough to drive a young man insane
Make a woman wanna run away
I met Jack McKent, he was a handsome man
Was my ticket to a better place
Where do we go when the sun stays high?
Where do we go when we close our eyes?
Where do we go when we feel this tide?
Where do we go?
Well, we hitch a ride
Well, Jack and me, we never left the heat
Got pregnant in the early spring
But when Jack got mean, he'd raise his hand to me
And I never could predict his swings
And on the hottest night, under full moon light
He stole the one good thing we'd made
And like a dandelion with the feathers flyin'
The wind pulled my heart away
When do you know to put a sick dog down?
Where do you go when you cross that line?
Ain't no secrets in a southern town
Where do we go?
There are two dead bodies buried in the clay
Two souls that carried all of my love
And I'll run from the sin, and the law, and the devil
And judgement from the Lord above
And I'll leave my fate in the hands of strangers
Every driver on the great highway
I'm a phantom rider, black widow spider
Another orphan of the interstate
Where do we go when the sun stays high?
Where do we go when we close our eyes?
Where do we go when we feel this tide?
Where do we go?
Well, we hitch a ride
We're all running from something (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
Leaving someone behind (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
Always another car coming (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)

We're all picking up strangers (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
Just trust the look in their eye (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
We don't know we're in danger (Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)
When we hitch a ride (Hitch a ride, go, go)
