Old Hippie IV Bellamy Brothers (aka OH-III beta 5.0014.2013) Lyrics by JCooper

So after I did OH-III (some folks requested a re-make) I got to thinking, why not do an Old Hippie IV (well, beta III anyways) but have it reflect more of my lifes ups, downs, losses and wishes etc., so that's what this is, it's more personnel. I didn't spend lots of time and the lyrics weren't refined, meaning I only spent a few minutes on it before I called it a night. Nothing special, just a 'what if' type thing.... I'll post lyrics in case someone's interested: Well he made it to his sixtys, Retirements knocking at his door. He sits reflecting on his lifestyle, and the days he's seen before. He remembers that ole hot rod, he took his first date in. and that new fangled 8 track, that made him such a hit. He get's out there to the cars shows, wishin' he had one back again. -/ Well he still plays the guitar, though he'll never be a hit. but to his dogs, fred and snoopy, he's on top of their list. Ya he still dreams of studios, and undiscovered stars, if only for a minute, it may help to heal some scars. He thinks of his youth sometimes, and did he leave a mark. == Chorus == He's an old hippie, life has lost some of it's charm been replaced by pills and pain, and an empty broken heart. he's an old hippie, and\but he still does believe when the race is run he'll see the son, in that golden --- city. -/ Well he thinks back to the nineties, thought good times would never end. Then they sent his boy to the mideast, on a trip that never ends Now he waves the flag at his home, people protest everyday Say they find it offensive, the flag of the U.S.A. He can't believe this kind of freedom, is why his boy is in that grave. /== Chorus ==/ Well he stays at home a lot now, few reasons to go out. Though his health is slowly slippin, in his mind he's joggin' round. 'Cause he can't afford the gas now, or the mortgage on his home. He sees his country slippin, it's gone out of control. It's just a matter of time now, that we may be shown the door. /== Chorus ==/ Well he's an old hippie, life has lost some of it's charm been replaced by pills and pain, and an empty broken heart he's an old hippie, but he still does believe when the race is run he'll see the son, in that golden --- city. Ya he still believes in the Bible, and that Jesus, died to set him free....
