about

Originally written in 1992 and performed by Godzoundz, this is a remake of the classic song. It was originally featured on the Godzoundz cassette-only release of which very few copies still exist.

The song was written while on an 8 day, 800 mile hitch-hiking trip through the desolate and remote central Nevada desert to Tucson Arizona and is a true story.

lyrics

Upon your desert porch we perched
You read my road rash right, my friend
Read my dirty palm and told me
I should run for president
Set some kind of brand new precedent
For anyone who might be interested
I can tell you right now that I'm not interested
I don't really want to screw your wife
And I'm not really trying to screw your life up man
I just gotta get to Arizona
With my two way thumb

So we pack our sacks upon our crippled backs
As the highway rolls off into the night
We both hitching on eiither side
Has got to look funny to passersby
But we still can't get no ride
To Arizona
With our two way thumb

So bring us slo-gin, bring us women
Bring us cars and electric guitars
I'd get a job but I don't plan to stay
And I hate the cops in this town anyway
In Arizona
With a two way thumb
Gotta get the hell out of Arizona
And get this heat off of my shoulders
