Lee Michaels Thumbs
When I was just a young boy, all my friends they went to war.
And I just stood there asking
What are you goin for?
My best friend he told me, we're all boys just seventeen.
Sign up now, see the world
Taste it"s wine and touch it"s queens.
I just stood there gasping, not a word could I say
Then I caught my breath and shouted
Stop come back theres another way.
I said just stick out your thumbs
They'll take you where you want to go.
And if they dont take you, maybe you weren't supposed to go.
Ooh I wonder just how farther they did go
Ooh I wonder just how farther they did go
Seven years I come back,
Back to that town I had to go
To see my friends I left there
See my friends what they had to show.
I Seen this girl and I had to ask her
Which way would the people be
And she just started laughing
Laughing there right at me
Oooh Mmmm
So I feel no pity people
For the person in the war
If all the people stopped fighting
There would be no war no more.
Ooh I wonder just how farther they did go
Ooh I wonder just how farther they did go
