He'll be forty-five come Wednesday, his gray hair is getting thin
But he's still hanging in there, don't feel too bad for the shape he's in
He's seen yuppies in the White House but he thinks they're gonna fail
But he just don't trust a President that never has inhaled
And he prays to God to stop his crime but it seems to no avail

Well, he still loves country music, but he's been left out in the dark
'Cause they don't play Merle and George no more
He don't know Billy Ray from Garth
And he's heard of Woodstock two but it never could compete
'Cause he was there the day that Hendrix played the Anthem with his feet
Back when all those grunge bands couldn't even keep a beat

He's an old hippie, even older than before
Wondering what to pay attention to and what should he ignore
He's an old hippie, still adjusting to the change
He's just trying to find some balance in a world gone totally insane

He still thinks back on the sixties but not in the same way
Cause they built a wall to his war then forgot the MIAs
And he's trying to be a nice man but it's too much of a bore
Cause fax machine and cell phones ain't what he was put here for
And in a world selling s__ and youth he's the last old dinosaur

Yeah, he's an old hippie, even older than before
Wondering what to pay attention to and what he should ignore
He's an old hippie, still adjusting to the change
He's just trying to find some balance in a world gone totally insane

Well, he comes on home from work now, takes some time up with the kids
Try to teach them right from wrong, hope they don't learn it the way that he did
And his eyes are on the future but it's looking pretty sad
And with every day that passes he becomes more like his Dad
Hopes that when this century turns around, things won't be so bad

He's an old hippie, even older than before
Wondering what to pay attention to and what should he ignore
He's an old hippie, still adjusting to the change
He's just trying to find some balance in a world gone totally insane
He's just trying to find some balance in a world gone totally insane
