Hitchhiker's Smile - Victoria Williams

I was thinkin' about the rainbow gathering

I was wondering why I had picked up that hitchhiker

I was thinkin' about how he said it was gonna be next week

Wondering if maybe I was supposed to be there

Why else would I share some air for a while

With that hitchhiker’s smile

I learnt how to read when I was just a child

I learnt how to read when I was just a child

I was just a child, I was just a child, just a child

All these people stand out on the tracks

They all got they’re own grand coat

Destinations unfold, stories all been told

It’s like somebody’s writing a book

It’s like learnin' how to cook

I learnt how to read when I was just a child

I learnt how to read and I was just a child

Child, child, child

Now I’m thinkin' about the rainbow gathering

And wonderin' why I picked up that hitchhiker

Thinkin' about how he said it was gonna be next week

Was wondering if maybe I’m supposed to be there

Why else would I share some air for a while

With the hitchhiker’s smile

All these people stood out in the tracks

They all got they’re own grand coat

Destinations unfold, stories all been told

It’s like somebody’s writing a book

It’s like learning how to cook

I learnt how to read when I was just a child

Learnt how to read when I was just a child

Child, child, child
