I'm sittin' in a mud hut on a mountain top
Writin' this song for you
You see, I've had it with society
Me and the world are through
Oh, my friends they think I'm truly weird
Sittin' in my loincloth, growing my beard
They say it's changed since I disappeared
But I really couldn't give a damn
I'm happy just the way I am
Sittin' peacefully on Hermit Rock
Got no money and I got no socks
Got no television, got no clock
I'm simple as a man can be
I don't have to make no excuse
I'm eating cabbage in my birthday suit
Just a, a house of wattles
and some berry juice for tea
And I won't ask you to spend no time on
Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock
Hermit Rock with me
There was a time
when my career was blazin'
I made a fortune on the road
Had a palace in the L.A. basin
Ooh, I hit the motherlode
Oh, my mama, she was really proud
I was sellin' out to a sellout crowd
Blew my ears off, I played so loud
It was crazy tryin' to be the champ
Now I'm happy just the way I am
Sittin' peacefully on Hermit Rock
Got no money and I've got no socks
Got no television, got no clock
I'm simple as a man can be
Don't wanna see no more electric guitars
No more Ferraris and no Jaguars
I found out I can be just as bizarre for free
Oh, yes, I can
And I won't ask you to spend no time on
Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock
Hermit Rock with me
Oh, sell my limousine and sell my Fender
Have 'em nail up the hacienda
And just give me some
of Mother Nature's splendor
I really do love my fans
Bu I'm happy just the way I am
Sittin' peacefully on Hermit Rock
I got no money and I got no socks
Got no television, got no clock
I'm simple as a man can be
Don't wanna see no more electric guitars
No more Ferraris and no Jaguars
I found out I can be just as bizarre for free
Oh, yes, I can
And I won't ask you to spend no time on
Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock
Hermit Rock with me
I won't ask you to spend no time on
Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock
Hermit Rock with me
And I won't ask you to spend no time on
Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock
Hermit Rock with me
I won't ask you to spend no time on
Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock
Hermit Rock with me
I won't ask you to spend no time on
Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock
Hermit Rock with me
I won't ask you to spend no time on
Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock
Hermit Rock with me
