The Hitchhiker Lyrics

I heard you favored another
And to me it came as no surprise
I had all I can take of feeling this way
knowing I was gone beyond goodbye
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e105300-the_infamous_stringdusters~the_hitchhiker_lyrics.html ]
I hear a voice in the distance
Crying like a sorrowful ghost
There's a dark sky moving behind me
And I'm riding my thumb by the road

Buddy can you take me to Virginia
It's a long time now I've been gone
Or take me to the coast of California
There's a cold wind blowing here at home
Anywhere your restless wheels are rolling
Is better off than staying here alone

So i paid a price for the learning
Measured in the passing of time
Money can't buy back the years I've lost
Water that never turned to wine
