Ojai Lyrics

I've been a saviour,
A sideman, a stranger stung
By anger
Burned by law
Feel so scattered
Like nothing really matters anymore,
Put that sign out
On my front door

Hitchin' a ride down the PCH
I got some things I need to say
Callin' out a friend of mine

And I don't know where the years had gone,
Just know I'm worse for hangin' on
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

I knew a good man
He was a break in clouds,
Hangin'
So low down
It's got me to thinking
It's not like he gave in, he just
Never got that
Second win

Hitchin a ride down the PCH
I got some things I need to say
Callin' out a friend of mine

I don't know where the years have gone,
Just know I'm worse for hangin' on
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

Ojai
Ojai

I've been a saviour,
A sideman, a stranger son
Hedge your wager,
'Cause life ain't fair
I been shaken,
Sorely mistaken, this path
I've taken
It's goin' nowhere

Hitchin a ride down the PCH
I got some things I need to say
Callin' out a friend of mine

I don't know where the years have gone,
Just know I'm worse for hangin' on
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie

Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

Ojai

This song finds LaMontagne singing of a desire to get away from the city life as he sings of hitching a ride to the small Southern Californian town of Ojai. Like most of his tunes, it appears to be a work of fiction. "I still don't know what that song is about - some old hippie who made it to California and lost touch with old friends, or gets slighted or something," he told Billboard magazine. "I don't know. It's all a mystery to me. I'm still decoding these songs and figuring out where they came from."
