Lyrics

(Hitchhike to rhome lyrics
Minor variations found on wreck your life.)
When I first met doreen
She was barely seventeen
She was drinking whiskey sours in the bar

The way she tossed 'em back
I would've had a heart attack
But as it is I let her drive my car

We galloped through the boroughs
Like a pair of horny thoroughbreds
Until I said, "stop the car, doreen."

Well you can roll your eyes and nod
But I swear that I saw god
In the moonlight on a side street in the wreckage we call queens

Doreen, doreen, last night I had an awful dream
You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen
Come clean doreen. come clean doreen

Well I'm pulling into cleveland
In a seven-seater tour van
There's eight of us, so I'm sleeping on the floor

The guy that plays the banjo
Keeps on handing me the old crow
Which multiplies my sorrow, I can't take it anymore

Doreen, doreen, last night I had an awful dream
You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen
Come clean doreen. come clean doreen

Now I'm begging and I'm pleading
"Well pull over guys, I'm bleeding
There's a fina off the highway with a phone."

I'm calling you doreen
But it rings and rings and rings
Where is it that you are, if you aren't in our bed at home

Doreen, doreen, last night I had an awful dream
You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen
Come clean doreen. come clean doreen
