Victoria Williams Hitchhiker's Smile lyrics

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
