  • I've been a saviour,
    A sideman, a stranger stung
    By anger
    Burned by law
    Feel so scattered
    Like nothing really matters anymore,
    Put that sign out
    On my front door

    Hitchin' a ride down the PCH
    I got some things I need to say
    Callin' out a friend of mine

    And I don't know where the years had gone,
    Just know I'm worse for hangin' on
    Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie
    Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

    I knew a good man
    He was a break in clouds,
    Hangin'
    So low down
    It's got me to thinking
    It's not like he gave in, he just
    Never got that
    Second win

    Hitchin a ride down the PCH
    I got some things I need to say
    Callin' out a friend of mine

    I don't know where the years have gone,
    Just know I'm worse for hangin' on
    Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie
    Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

    Ojai
    Ojai

    I've been a saviour,
    A sideman, a stranger son
    Hedge your wager,
    'Cause life ain't fair
    I been shaken,
    Sorely mistaken, this path
    I've taken
    It's goin' nowhere

    Hitchin a ride down the PCH
    I got some things I need to say
    Callin' out a friend of mine

    I don't know where the years have gone,
    Just know I'm worse for hangin' on
    Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie

    Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai
