Red Wanting Blue Hitchhiker's Lullaby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Three more days and counting 'til we get back to the road
Radar Hill sent us a message a long time ago
Never forget the way the sun goes down in Ohio
Those were the days we got the ball rolling
But the ball had to roll

[Chorus]
Someone somewhere will remember us
The years we got lost when the world needed us
Heads in the clouds, hearts sworn to never rust
Thumbs to the road and the rest was dust

[Verse 2]
We crossed a great wide ocean of grain
Chasing sunsets made of gold
I thought for sure the Badlands would break us
But they sent us down the road
Rocky Mountain welcome wagon got us so high
Our roots nearly took hold
We had a ball out in Colorado, but the ball had to roll

[Chorus]
Someone somewhere will remember us The years we got lost when the world needed us
Heads in the clouds, hearts sworn to never rust
Thumbs to the road and the rest was dust

[Verse 3]
Made it to the coast with nothing to boast
But warm and weary bones
I always dreamt they'd roll the red carpet
Out for us old rolling stones
Chase the sunset to Santa Monica Beach
And felt the sand between our toes
California's so beautiful, we bawled
When the ball had to roll

[Chorus]
Heads in the clouds, hearts sworn to never rust
Thumbs to the road and the rest was dust

[Chorus]
Someone somewhere will remember us
The years we got lost when the world needed us
Heads in the clouds, hearts sworn to never rust
Thumbs to the road and we're gone with the dust
