He turned thirty-five 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 back yard by the fence
He's consuming what he's growing nowadays in self defense
He get's 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 into new wave
But he's just too friggin' 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
'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 an 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
'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 an 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 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
Yeah, 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 an 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
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 back yard by the fence
He's consuming what he's growing nowadays in self defense
He get's 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 into new wave
But he's just too friggin' old
And he dreams at night of Woodstock and the day John Lennon died

And he has to wonder why
'Cause he's an old hippie and he don't know what to do

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