Song lyrics

Send "Hitchin' A Ride" ringtones to your cell

Hey mister, where you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour. 
Say oh no.

Do you break for distilled spirits?
I need a break as well.
The well that inebriates the guilt.
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

Cold turkey's getting stale,
Tonight I'm eating crow.
Fermented salmonella poison oak no

There's a drought at the Fountain of youth,
And now I'm dehydrating.
My tongue is swelling up,
As say 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

Troubled times,
you know I can not lie.
I'm off the wagon 
And I'm hitchin' a ride.

There's a drought at the fountain of youth,
And now I'm dehydrating.
My tongue is swelling up,
I say shit!

165 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Wow. Usually I really HATE pop-punk, but I can't help it. This song is infectious. I just like the "oh, no" part a lot. I annoy myself sometimes. Green Day is my "guilty pleasure" that I don't tell anyone except random internet strangers about. .... Don't tell.

165 posts	And they don't want the lyrics posted on the Internet because it's their song, it's their baby pretty much. You don't want people just getting it for free... they have to shell out fifteen bucks if they want it.

9 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this song Fucking Rocks......BUT, I would not agree with the fact that they are "pop punk" I don't think so.......its either punk or rock, I think it should all be punk though I would have to agree with you on something though, they are my guilty pleasure, but everyone knows it

3,451 posts	Love the song. Haven't seen the video. Sorry, gonna have to disagree with you - in my opinion they are pop-punk. But you know, genres are down to opinion really, there's no right or wrong. The start of this song so sounds like another song. Any ideas what the song is anyone? My fave part is the part where he goes - "I say...SHIT!" Gotta love that scream!
