Thumbs

When I was just a young boy

All my friends they went to war

And I just stood there asking

What are you going 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 there's another way

I said just stick out your thumbs

They'll take you where you want to go

And if they don't take you

Maybe you weren't supposed to go

Oh

I wonder

Just how far where they did go

Oh

I wonder

Just how far where they did go

Seven years have gone by

Back to that town I had to go

Had to see my friends who left there

See my friends what they had to show

Saw this girl and ask her

Which way would the people be

And she just started laughing

Laughing there right at me

Oh

Hmm

So feel no pity people

For the person in the war

If all the people stopped fighting

There would be no war no more

Oh

I wonder

Just how far where they will go

Oh

I wonder

Just how far where they will go

Oh

I wonder

Just how far where they will go

Oh

I wonder

Just how far where they will go

Oh

I wonder

Just how far where they will go
