[Verse 1]
Thumb out
Dust on the road
Maps in a pocket
Plans nobody knows

White lines
Spooling like thread
Friendly face in a window
“Where you headed?” he said

[Chorus]
Don’t trust the hand
Reaching out from the highway
Don’t trust the smile
When it sharpens your name
Some forests keep
Every footstep they’re given
Belanglo shadows
Remember the blame

[Verse 2]
Small talk
Country town signs
Radio humming
“Long way
You’ll be fine”

Turn off
Gravel and gum
Sky getting heavy
Tongue going numb

[Chorus]
Don’t trust the hand
Reaching out from the highway
Don’t trust the smile
When it sharpens your name
Some forests keep
Every footstep they’re given
Belanglo shadows
Remember the blame

[Bridge]
Backpacks stacked
In the back of his mind (oh)
Faces fade
But the dirt keeps time
Names on a list
Stone on a hill
Silence in the trees
And it’s ringing there still

[Chorus]
Don’t trust the hand
Reaching out from the highway
Don’t trust the smile
When it sharpens your name
Some forests keep
Every footstep they’re given
Belanglo shadows
Remember the blame
