Ray LaMontagne - Ojai Lyrics
I've been a Savior, 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
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
I knew a good man, he was a break in the Clouds,
hangin' so low down
He just never got that second win
Hitchin a ride on 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 Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger
Son, hedge your wager, cause life aint fair
I been shaken, sorely mistaken, this path I've taken
Aint goin nowhere
Hitchin a ride on 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

Ray LaMontagne Ojai Comments
This song makes me think of my brother that we lost in a tragic accident. He worked at the Inn in Ojai. He was a good man, and truly a break in the clouds.
Hitching down the PCH👍🏼❗️
Do you remember me ?

Im from Santa Paula the neighboring town connected to Ojai by Ojai Rd. This song just gives that home feeling. No place like Ventura County, no musician like Ray!
DanielG65 no place like Ventura county is right

Love Ojai, love this song. Captures a melancholy feeling.

Just heard this in an indie radio station. Why didn't I not know of this song before?! Love at first listen ..
Ojai is my hometown, Ray captures the longing of every person who no longer lives there. So homesick.
a sideman
burned by love
a breaking cloud
got me to thinking
stung by anger, burned by love <3
Gorgeous song about a favorite area of California for me. Beyond that, the lyrics speak profoundly to an all-too-familiar experience.
heard this yesterday and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my new favorite....................just hit so perfectly .............love it!
Listen and listen again. Makes me want to hitch to Ojai.
this really hits a heart string! Love it!
stung.. by anger?
My name is Jeff
I like your lyrics better. It adds meaning for the hearer.
ojai my hometown :)
Ray's best song since his debut album. Not to say I didn't like any of the other albums...I have them all. I knew Ray's music before his career launched and I'm also a musician and songwriter and I appreciate his metamorphosis over the years, but he's still remained pretty close to his origins. I've listened this song Ojai on repeat many times LOL...its almost perfect...and I've been wanting to hitch a ride down the PCH for awhile...Perhaps some inspiration here. Cheers :)
Love the tone of this album. Ray with a sunny light touch yet with all his beauty intact.
I grew up and lived in the beautiful unique Ojai valley. nice song, even without saying anything about the place. nostalgic scenes. thanks for sharing.
Best track on the album hands down.
Knocked the wind out of me. So beautiful.
Its the second win and not wind but its beautifully shot Metrolyrics has all his lyrics
no its wind
not bad. didn't get them all right but you're close. Here's the lyrics from the CD booklet
I've been a Savior, 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
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
I knew a good man, he was a break in the 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 Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger
Son, hedge your wager, cause life aint fair
I been shaken, sorely mistaken, this path I've taken
Aint 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
this is a lyrics video ... why ? lmao
