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 backyard 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

Yeh he gets off on country music

'Cause disco left him cold

He's got young friends into new wave

But he's just too frigging 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

Yea he thinks of John sometimes

And he has to wonder why

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

This 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 force him to become a man

While he was still a boy

And behind each wave of tragedy

He waited for the joy

Now this world may change around him

But he just can't change no more

'Cause 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

This new life is just a bust

He ain't trying to change nobody

He's just trying real hard to adjust

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

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

This new life is just a bust

He ain't trying to change nobody

He's just trying real hard to adjust, yeah he ain't tryin' to change nobody, he's just...
