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.
