He turned 35 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 backyard by the fence   He's consuming what he's growing   Nowadays in self defense   He gets 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 and a new way   But he's just to frickin 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.      Chorus:   '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 and 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.      Chorus:   '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 and 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 jogging 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.      Chorus:   '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 and 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...
