Old Hippie Full Lyrics
[00:09.42] He turned thirty-five last Sunday
[00:11.85] In his hair he found some gray
[00:18.45] But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
[00:21.10] He likes it better the old way
[00:27.57] So he grows a little garden in the backyard by the fence
[00:32.19] He's consuming what he's growing nowadays in self defense
[00:37.01] He get's out there in the twilight zone
[00:39.36] Sometimes when it just don't make no sense
[00:45.98] Yeh he gets off on country music
[00:49.55] 'Cause disco left him cold
[00:55.17] He's got young friends into new wave
[00:58.52] But he's just too frigging old
[01:04.65] And he dreams at night of Woodstock
[01:07.05] And the day John Lennon died
[01:09.45] How the music made him happy
[01:11.55] And the silence made him cry
[01:14.08] Yea he thinks of John sometimes
[01:16.39] And he has to wonder why
[01:23.21] He's an old hippie
[01:25.55] And he don't know what to do
[01:27.89] Should he hang on to the old
[01:29.84] Should he grab on to the new
[01:32.36] He's an old hippie
[01:34.80] This new life is just a bust
[01:37.02] He ain't trying to change nobody
[01:39.24] He's just trying real hard to adjust
[01:45.96] He was sure back in the sixties
[01:48.96] That everyone was hip
[01:55.40] Then they sent him off to Vietnam
[01:58.83] On his senior trip
[02:04.49] And they force him to become a man
[02:07.18] While he was still a boy
[02:09.45] And behind each wave of tragedy
[02:11.89] He waited for the joy
[02:14.05] Now this world may change around him
[02:16.33] But he just can't change no more
[02:23.11] 'Cause he's an old hippie
[02:25.77] And he don't know what to do
[02:27.62] Should he hang on to the old
[02:29.83] Should he grab on to the new
[02:32.34] He's an old hippie
[02:34.56] This new life is just a bust
[02:37.02] He ain't trying to change nobody
[02:39.21] He's just trying real hard to adjust
[02:46.22] Well he stays away a lot now
[02:49.69] From the parties and the clubs
[02:55.51] And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round
[02:58.78] Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
[03:04.66] 'Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
[03:09.44] And pretty soon the species
[03:11.59] Will just up and fade away
[03:14.19] Like the smoke from that torpedo
[03:16.44] Just up and fade away
[03:23.00] He's an old hippie
[03:25.22] And he don't know what to do
[03:27.66] Should he hang on to the old
[03:29.78] Should he grab on to the new
[03:32.13] He's an old hippie
[03:34.44] This new life is just a bust
[03:36.78] He ain't trying to change nobody
[03:39.16] He's just trying real hard to adjust, yeah he ain't tryin' to change nobody, he's just...
