Old Hippie |
He turned thirty-five last Sunday |
In his hair he found some gray |
But he still ain’t changed his lifestyle |
He likes it better the old way |
So he grows a little garden in the back yard by the fence |
He’s consuming what he’s growing nowadays in self defense |
He get’s out there in the twilight zone |
Sometimes when it just don’t make no sense |
He gets off on country music |
Cause disco left him cold |
He’s got young friends into new wave |
But he’s just too friggin' old |
And he dreams at night of Woodstock and the day John Lennon died |
How the music made him happy and the silence made him cry |
Yeah he thinks of John sometimes |
And he has to wonder why |
Chorus: |
He’s an old hippie and he don’t know what to do Should he hang on to the old |
Should he grab on to the new |
He’s an old hippie… his new life is just a bust |
He ain’t trying to change nobody |
He’s just trying real hard to adjust |
He was sure back in the sixties that everyone was hip |
Then they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior trip |
And they forced him to become a man while he was still a boy |
And in each wave of tragedy he waited for the joy |
Now this world may change around him |
But he just can’t change no more |
Chorus |
Well, he stays away a lot now from the parties and the clubs |
And he’s thinking while he’s joggin' 'round |
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs |
Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday |
And pretty soon the species will just up and fade away |
Like the smoke from that torpedo… just up and fade away |
Chorus |
