30 long years I been puttin’ on a suit and tie
Kept my hair cut short, it may look brown but it’s dyed
I drive a Lexus, my wife drives an SUV
But don’t be fooled, things aren’t always what they seem
I’m just a hippy, a hippy from the 60’s, it’s true
I’m just a hippy tryin’ to get back to my roots
I got my bell bottom jeans in a trunk upstairs
I got a photo hid that shows me with my long **** hair
Of all the guys at work not a one has a clue
They’d dump a lump or two if they only knew
I’m just a hippy, a hippy from the 60’s, it’s true
I’m just a hippy tryin’ to get back to my roots
Same as Intro:
Instrumental verse:
Think I’ll retire in another month or so
Not gonna cut my hair, I think I’ll just let it grow
I’m gonna paint me a sign and stand out in the street
With my tie-dyed shirt and preach love and peace
I’m just a hippy, a hippy from the 60’s, it’s true
I’m just a hippy tryin’ to get back to my roots
I’m just a hippy, a hippy from the 60’
I know there’re others out there who are with me
I’m just a hippy tryin’ to get back to my roots
