1. Hitchin’ a Ride – Sometimes you feel the need to clear your mind of your problems so that you can find peace. It may be a scenic drive or motorcycle ride in the country, a walk on the beach or hike through the forest. It may be practicing meditation, yoga or tai chi. Even listening to music or watching a good comedy can take you away. Sometimes you can’t find that peace on your own and need a little help from your friends, and that’s okay. That’s what friends are for.

Hitchin’ a Ride
Hitchin’ a ride to the bright sunshine
Leavin’ my cares and my worries behind
Leavin’ em’ all to tend to on another day
When I get there I hope to find
A centered self and a peace of mind
All in service of making it another day
I had to laugh about it
I had to cry about it one more time
Before I began to see the light of day
Hitchin’ a ride to the bright sunshine
Leavin’ my cares and my worries behind
Leavin’ em’ all to tend to on another day
Can’t wait around in the pouring rain
Gotta get peace into my brain
Can’t let this go on for another day
I had to laugh about it
I had to cry about it one more time
Before I began to see the light of day
Well I hitch a ride to the bright sunshine to see the light of day
Fantasize about it in my mind and I see no other way
But I would have an easier time if I would only say
Please, please help me
Hitchin’ a ride to the bright sunshine
Leavin’ my cares and my worries behind
Leavin’ em’ all to tend to on another day
