GHe turned thirty-five last Sunday CIn his hair he found some Ggray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
CHe likes it better the oldD way So he Cgrows a little garden in the bacGk yard by the fence He's consCuming what he's growing nowaGdays in self defense He get's Dout there in the twilight zone sometCimes when it just don't make noG sense
He gets off on country music cause disco left him cold He's got young friends into new wave buts he's just too damn 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 == Chorus ==
He's an Cold hippie and he dGon't know what to do should hDang on to the old should he gGrab on to the new he's an oCld hippie his new lGife is just a bust he ain't Dtrying to change nobody he just Ctrying real Dhard to adGjust
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 in each wave of tragedy he waited for the joy Now this world may change around him but he just can't change nomore == Chorus == 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 >>This song sounds best when you alternate between G and D for the bass on the G-chord; The C and middle E on the C-Chord; and D and A on the D-chord. Play it with "boom chuka" rhythm. ~Marvin Potts <pottsmn@aa.wpafb.af.mil>~
