Old Hippie 10 years later - Bellamy Brothers [Verse 1] [G]He'll be 45 come Wednesday, [C]his gray hair is getting [G]thin, But he still has hanging in there, don't feel too [C]bad for the [D]shape he's in, He's seen [C]yuppies in the white house, but he [G]thinks their gonna fail, But he [C]just don't trust a President, that [G]never has [D]inhaled. And he [Bm]prays to God to stop this crime, [C]but it seems to no [G]avail. [Verse 2] [G]Well he still loves country music, [C]but he's been left out in the [G]dark, Cause they don't play Merle and George no more, he don't know [C]Billy Ray from [D]Garth, And he's [C]heard of Woodstock too but he [G]never could compete, But he was [C]there the day the Hendricks played the [G]Anthem with his [D]teeth, Back when [Bm]all those grunge bands couldn't [C]even keep a [G]beat. |[Chorus] |He's an [C]old Hippie, even [G]older than before, |Wondering [D]what to pay attention to and [G]what should be ignored, |He's an [C]old hippie, still [G]adjusting to the change, |He's just [D]trying to find some balance, in a [C]world, gone [D]totally [G]insane. [Verse 3] [G]He still thinks back on the sixties, [C]but not in the same [G]way, They built a wall to his war, then for[C]got the [D]MIA, And he's [C]trying to be a nineties man but it's [G]too much of a bore, Those [C]fax machines and cell phones ain't what [G]he was put here [D]for, And in a [Bm]world selling sex and music, [C]he's a last old dino[G]saur. [Chorus] [Verse 4] [G]Well he comes on home from work now, [C]takes some time up with the [G]kids, Try to teach them right from wrong, hope they don't learn it [C]the way that he [D]did, And his [C]eyes are on the future but it's [G]looking pretty sad, And with [C]every day that passes he [G]becomes more like his [D]Dad, He [Bm]hopes that when this century turns around, [C]things won't be so [G]bad. |[Chorus] |He's an [C]old Hippie, even [G]older than before, |Wondering [D]what to pay attention to and [G]what should be ignored, |He's an [C]old hippie, still [G]adjusting to the change, |He's just [D]trying to find some balance, in a [C]world, gone [D]totally [G]insane. [Outro] He's just [D]trying to find some balance, in a [C]world, gone [D]totally [G]insane.
