No story behind this one

Lyrics:
stand against this desolate highway
my thumb losing strength in the warm desert air
the night is coming upon us with fear

the last car drove by an hour ago
and I stand here with a tear
no ones stopped for hitchhikers in a year

I unfold the cardboard I carry with me
Lay it down beside the tracks
I've been following since way way back

I've walked hundereds of miles
Drank so many mischivious brews
I hope the day comes when I play with them too

I lay down on the cardboard
I've come to take my final nap
So here I go, lay my head upon the track

I'm oh so far from home
unable to turn back
The heart of home has moved onward
Stolen by the forsaken tracks
