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