\nLYRICS<\/strong><\/p>\n

He turned thirty-five last Sunday
\nIn his hair he found some gray
\nBut he still ain’t changed his lifestyle
\nHe likes it better the old way
\nSo he grows a little garden in the back yard by the fence
\nHe’s consuming what he’s growing nowadays in self defense
\nHe get’s out there in the twilight zone
\nSometimes when it just don’t make no sense<\/p>\n

He gets off on country music
\nCause disco left him cold
\nHe’s got young friends into new wave
\nBut he’s just too friggin’ old
\nAnd he dreams at night of Woodstock and the day John Lennon died
\nHow the music made him happy and the silence made him cry
\nYeah he thinks of John sometimes
\nAnd he has to wonder why<\/p>\n

[Chorus:]<\/em>
\nHe’s an old hippie and he don’t know what to do
\nShould he hang on to the old
\nShould he grab on to the new
\nHe’s an old hippie…his new life is just a bust
\nHe ain’t trying to change nobody
\nHe’s just trying real hard to adjust<\/p>\n

He was sure back in the sixties that everyone was hip
\nThen they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior trip
\nAnd they forced him to become a man while he was still a boy
\nAnd in each wave of tragedy he waited for the joy
\nNow this world may change around him
\nBut he just can’t change no more<\/p>\n

[Chorus]<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, he stays away a lot now from the parties and the clubs
\nAnd he’s thinking while he’s joggin’ ’round
\nSure is glad he quit the hard drugs
\nCause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
\nAnd pretty soon the species will just up and fade away
\nLike the smoke from that torpedo…just up and fade away<\/p>\n
