[Intro]
Thoughts in time and out of season
The Hitchhiker
Stood by the side of the road
And leveled his thumb
In the calm calculus of reason

[Verse 1]
Hi. How you doing? I just got back into town L.A
I was out on the desert for awhile

[Chorus]
Riders on the storm
Yeah. In the middle of it
Riders on the storm

[Bridge]
Right

[Verse 2]
Into this House we're born
Hey, listen, man, I really got a problem
Into this world we're thrown
When I was out on the desert, ya know
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
I don't know how to tell you
[Chorus]
Riders on the storm
But, ah, I killed somebody
There's a killer on the road

[Bridge]
No

[Verse 3]
His brain is squirming like a toad
It's no big deal, you know
I don't think anybody will find out about it, but
Take a long holiday
Just, ah
Let your children play
This guy gave me a ride, and ah
If you give this man a ride
Started giving me a lot of trouble
Sweet family will die
And I just couldn't take it, you know

[Outro]
Killer on the road
And I wasted him
Yeah
