Delta Rae - Hitch A Ride Lyrics
Arms like a scarecrow
Hitchin' for a ride
Skin like a leather tomb
Eyes like kilns in the rivers of dry
Dust under a paper moon
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 swing
And on the hottest night
In the full moon light
He stole the one good thing we'd made
And like a dandelion with the feather's 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 children's bodies buried in the grave
No songs to carry all of my love
And I'll run from the sin, and the love, 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 flair to the night
A black widow spider
Another orphan on 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
We don't know we're in danger
When we hitch a ride
(Hitch a ride, go, go)

Delta Rae Hitch A Ride Comments
I loved this very much though I still love their country song A Long And Happy Life better because it felt a lot more darker to me but this was still amazing too. I also love that their music hasn't changed a bit as they still have that country sound in this. Their sounds hasn't changed at all which is a good thing. None of their songs have been missing anything from what I can see and feel. Maybe that's just me cause I pay a lot of attention to it. I hope they do more country songs.
Awesome! Pure witchery, this one!
So is this (and the other audio only songs recently posted) going to be on the coming album "Light"? I'm confused as this shows copyrighted by Big Machine Label in 2019. I thought the point of them going independant was that they weren't going to release music under that label. I don't really care whether they are part of the label or not, but I hope all these songs are actually going to be released on a CD I can buy and aren't just being posted here only.
No. as far as we know None of the songs that are available on iTunes under the big machine label are going to be on either of the bands new albums. That was basically an album that they recorded for big machine that never came out so big machine just posted all of those tracks one by one as digital singles. In order for the band to release those on CD or vinyl they would have to either buy back the masters from big machine and that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars that they just don’t need to spend on their back catalog right now or they could re-record the material but they also have to pay big machine in order to be able to even re-record them so for the time being they will exist only as digital tracks. so far the only confirmed tracks for “THE LIGHT” are “Take Me There” which was released this morning as the lead off single from the album as well as “Wrong Ocean”, “Nothing Better Than This”, “Burning In Carolina”, “No One Will Miss Me” and “Stronger Than A Lion”. they have also confirmed that “Badlands”, “Shadows Of Vegas” “Come Back Alive” and “Never Coming Back” will be on their other upcoming album “THE DARK”
agentalbert also, all of the big machine songs that have been posted here on YouTube are available on iTunes and Amazon… Anywhere where you can buy digital music they are available for download and you can put them on your own CD from there
Love the witchy sound!
Delta Rae nailed it! Love this tune ♥️
LOVE THIS <3
why is it giving me red dead redemption vibes? haha
Incredible song! Classic Delta Rae!
So. Effing. Good.
Delta Rae's back! I can't wait to see them in concert on Friday!!!
This is more like it! It's exactly the kind of song I wished for.
I live for the witch vibe. It was gone for a second, I was worried.
@Delta Rae Oh I KNOW those are witchy, I was talking about songs like 'If i loved you' which have a different tone. Ever since I listened to "Bottom of the river" my internal soundscape has been all rattling chains and water 24/7 I think I need an intervention.
I don't think I'll ever make it to a show but good GOD I wish.
Rissa ah, yes well we do think some listeners find magic even in the songs that aren’t directly mystical, but that’s the wondrous part about music, speaks to everyone differently. We promise to deliver more of the chain rattling deep water songs if you’ll forgive us our moments of Americana-pop heartbreak ;) we’re just aiming for modern Fleetwood Mac, a little The Chain a little Secondhand News ❤️ thanks for listening
@Delta Rae nothing to forgive. I am eternally grateful that you make any music at all. You're not doing it for me, but the fact that I still manage to find songs that feel as if you are it pretty freaking fantastic!
@Delta Rae That we particularly like one end of your style range doesn't mean you're wrong for doing the others too :)
@Delta Rae don't aim to be like anyone else. Just aim to be you. That's why we fell in love with you in the first place. Becuase you are so unique. There is plenty of Americana Pop out there. We are thirsty for something different.
Where have you been ?
Katie .Woodlief thanks for your patience, but also we never left ✨
Yes! So much yes. Love the haunting quality of this song. Great lyrics too. This is the Delta Rae I fell in love with. Please more of this!
Yep. This is the sound I love! :)
This is REAL like Bottom of the River. Great!
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!
YOU'RE FUCKING PERFECT
Here we go....This is the Delta Rae I signed up for! Need a whole album of this
Ghost Ship Ritual funny you should say that...
@Delta Rae : :) --- Chill goes up my spine.
Guess from now on it's bottom of the river, I will never die, and hitch a ride on repeat and nothing else
Don't forget "Dancin' in the Graveyard".
@OsakaRose also true
Saaaaaaame!!!!!!! ❣️💀❣️
Love this song!
Welp. They have come roaring back, for sure.
Me gustaaaaaa! <3
Back to form! Love it guys!
Oh hello Delta rae... Welcome back. The last three releases were ok BUT this is the Delta rae I know and love
I love all of their songs. I'm a huge fan lol. I even loved their last three releases. Maybe it's because their sounds hasn't changed a bit yet and both country music and other styles are so perfect. I hope they do more songs like their last three releases. I want more of those and I have a feeling they will. Both styles are incredible and I can't even give a constructive criticisms to them since they are too perfect. Glad they never left and still doing both styles and genres. One of their best is A Long and Happy Life that I felt was really dark and I felt that. I hope they don't leave country music at all as they have that country sound.
Oh yeah! And the air.., was smothering, heavy, sultry. And they claim you can not drown on dry land and yet.., my breath was of pain like the one you must eventually take, when pinned just below the surface. And so .., you continue to walk as another car passes and the bayou,.,watches from the side of the road and the setting sun, for someone in this coming night, dreams of going too far. And I just need a ride.
The best of your new songs by far, this is really nice music guys, keep it up!
Agreed. Though every single songs of theirs are incredible and what I love about them is that their sounds never changed and that they can really do both genres and styles. I hope they do more songs like A Long And Happy Life cause of how dark it was. But like I said all of their songs are equally amazing and there's not one song I like better than the other. They should definitely continue both things. There are no constructive criticisms to give as I feel like they don't really need it as they aren't going to listen and will just do what they love doing which is a great thing.
*NOW THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! DELTA RAE'S SOUND IS BACK! This group is known for a distinctive sound and beat which the last few songs have missed. But this one is truly good! Still won't replace my fave "Dancin' in the Graveyard" but definitely a keeper!*
Gahhhhh I love this album 🌙
we haven’t heard the album yet. this is just a teaser.
Hawk Holloway Yup I know. I meant I already love it.
Chasing Twisters but with cars this time
Awesome! I love the tone and vibe. I've been waiting for this to come out for a couple of years!
Y'all never cease to amaze! I missed your concert cuz I was sick so I'm hoping I'll be able to see you soon!!
So good! Brings me back to when I first heard it at the Varsity Theater!
Yaaaaaas!!!!!! Brit is killing it!!!!! And those harmonies are second to none. How I missed them!!
Gorgeous! Love everything about this.
This is a great song!!! I remember hearing this song at the Basement in Nashville.
So glad this is finally recorded and out! Been waiting for this for years
It's been two years since I heard this song live, and the wait for it to be released was completely worth it!!
Im so hyped this is out!! Really honing that witch vibe with this one ❤
Ok listened thru the entire song and holy CRAP this song is amazing. Might be my new favorite!
YASSSSS I swear y'all never disappoint me.
I've been literally counting down the minutes to this!!!! So glad it's finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
