Old Hippie 10 years later
G C G
He'll be 45 come Wednesday, his gray hair is getting thin,
C D
But he still has hanging in there, don't feel too bad for the shape he's in,
C G
He's seen yuppies in the white house, but he thinks their gonna fail,
C G D
But he just don't trust a President, that never has inhaled.
Bm C G
And he prays to God to stop this crime, but it seems to no avail.
G C G
Well he still loves country music, but he's been left out in the dark,
C D
Cause they don't play Merle and George no more, he don't know Billy Ray from Garth,
C G
And he's heard of Woodstock too but he never could compete,
C G D
But he was there the day the Hendricks played the Anthem with his teeth,
Bm C G
Back when all those grunge bands couldn't even keep a beat.
[Chorus]
C G
He's an old Hippie, even older than before,
D G
Wondering what to pay attention to and what should be ignored,
C G
He's an old hippie, still adjusting to the change,
D C D G
He's just trying to find some balance, in a world, gone totally insane.
G C G
He still thinks back on the sixties, but not in the same way,
C D
They built a wall to his war, then forgot the MIA,
C G
And he's trying to be a nineties man but it's too much of a bore,
C G D
Those fax machines and cell phones ain't what he was put here for,
Bm C G
And in a world selling sex and music, he's a last old dinosaur.
[Chorus]
C G
He's an old Hippie, even older than before,
D G
Wondering what to pay attention to and what should be ignored,
C G
He's an old hippie, still adjusting to the change,
D C D G
He's just trying to find some balance, in a world, gone totally insane.
G C G
Well he comes on home from work now, takes some time up with the kids,
C D
Try to teach them right from wrong, hope they don't learn it the way that he did,
C G
And his eyes are on the future but it's looking pretty sad,
C G D
And with every day that passes he becomes more like his Dad,
Bm C G
He hopes that when this century turns around, things won't be so bad.
[Chorus]
C G
He's an old Hippie, even older than before,
D G
Wondering what to pay attention to and what should be ignored,
C G
He's an old hippie, still adjusting to the change,
D C D G
He's just trying to find some balance, in a world, gone totally insane.
[Outro]
D C D G
He's just trying to find some balance, in a world, gone totally insane.
