Bellamy Brothers
Old Hippie

He turned 35 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 gets 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
And he's got young friends and a new way
But he's just to frickin 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:
'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 and 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 forced 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.

Chorus:
'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 and 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 jogging 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:
'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 and 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 trying to change nobody
He's just trying real hard to adjust...


Mirror lyrics:

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

He's just trying real hard to adjust.
He ain't trying to change nobody
This new life is just a bust
He's and old hippie

Should he grab on to the new.
Should he hang on to the old
And he don't know what to do
'Cause he's an old hippie
Chorus:

Just up and fade away.
Like the smoke from that torpedo
Will just up and fade away
And pretty soon the species
Get more endangered everyday
'Cause him and his kind

Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs.
And he's thinking while he's jogging round
From the parties and the clubs
Well, he stays away a lot now

He's just trying real hard to adjust.
He ain't trying to change nobody
This new life is just a bust
He's and old hippie

Should he grab on to the new.
Should he hang on to the old
And he don't know what to do
'Cause he's an old hippie
Chorus:

But he just can't change no more.
Now this world may change around him
He waited for the joy
And behind each wave of tragedy
While he was still a boy
And they forced him to become a man

On his senior trip.
Then they sent him off to vietnam
That everyone was hip
He was sure back in the sixties

He's just trying real hard to adjust.
He ain't trying to change nobody
This new life is just a bust
He's and old hippie

Should he grab on to the new.
Should he hang on to the old
And he don't know what to do
'Cause he's an old hippie
Chorus:

And he has to wonder why.
Yeah, he thinks of John sometimes
And the silence made him cry
How the music made him happy
And the day John Lennon died
And he dreams at night of Woodstock

But he's just to frickin old.
And he's got young friends and a new way
'Cause disco left him cold
He gets off on country music

Sometimes when it just don't make no sense.
He gets out there in the twilight zone
Nowadays in self defense
He's consuming what he's growing
In the backyard by the fence
So he grows a little garden

He likes it better the old way.
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
In his hair he found some gray
He turned 35 last Sunday
