1
He turned 35 last Sunday
2
In his hair he found some gray
3
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
4
He likes it better the old way.
5
So he grows a little garden
6
In the backyard by the fence
7
He's consuming what he's growing
8
Nowadays in self defense
9
He gets out there in the twilight zone
10
Sometimes when it just don't make no sense.
11
He gets off on country music
12
'Cause disco left him cold
13
And he's got young friends and a new way
14
But he's just to frickin old.
15
And he dreams at night of Woodstock
16
And the day John Lennon died
17
How the music made him happy
18
And the silence made him cry
19
Yeah, he thinks of John sometimes
20
And he has to wonder why.
21
Chorus:
22
'Cause he's an old hippie
23
And he don't know what to do
24
Should he hang on to the old
25
Should he grab on to the new.
26
He's and old hippie
27
This new life is just a bust
28
He ain't trying to change nobody
29
He's just trying real hard to adjust.
30
He was sure back in the sixties
31
That everyone was hip
32
Then they sent him off to vietnam
33
On his senior trip.
34
And they forced him to become a man
35
While he was still a boy
36
And behind each wave of tragedy
37
He waited for the joy
38
Now this world may change around him
39
But he just can't change no more.
40
Chorus:
41
'Cause he's an old hippie
42
And he don't know what to do
43
Should he hang on to the old
44
Should he grab on to the new.
45
He's and old hippie
46
This new life is just a bust
47
He ain't trying to change nobody
48
He's just trying real hard to adjust.
49
Well, he stays away a lot now
50
From the parties and the clubs
51
And he's thinking while he's jogging round
52
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs.
53
'Cause him and his kind
54
Get more endangered everyday
55
And pretty soon the species
56
Will just up and fade away
57
Like the smoke from that torpedo
58
Just up and fade away.
59
Chorus:
60
'Cause he's an old hippie
61
And he don't know what to do
62
Should he hang on to the old
63
Should he grab on to the new.
64
He's and old hippie
65
This new life is just a bust
66
He ain't trying to change nobody
67
He's just trying real hard to adjust.
68
Yeah, he ain't trying to change nobody
69
He's just trying real hard to adjust...
