| Hippie from Mississippi |
|
| Lyrics |
|
I've been hangin' around this old town reading Noam Chamsky and listening to old Greg Brown I play a sad slow tune As the sun goes down Just waiting on the moon And thinking about you. I goes days just talking to a dog named Sly. We like to go out walking just Sly and I. Maybe take a few pictures with my old Nikon of the evening sky as the road winds on I'm just a middle-aged hippie from Northern Mississippi I like to drink a little brew maybe smoke a little boo but every time I do I get to thinkin' about you I was a little too old for a woman like you but you liked rolled gold and an ice cold brew swimming bare ass naked in the water tower a summertime dreamer in a sweet spring flower Was it the perfect meeting of study and chance when I saw you there at the county fair dance? The unlived life was my worst fear. They say when the student is ready that the teacher will appear. I'm just a middle-aged hippie from Northern Mississippi I like to drink a little brew maybe smoke a little boo but every time I do I get to thinkin' about you Sometimes late at night alone in my darkroom in a tray of solution I watch the flowers as they bloom and the one I took of you beneath the tree just the way you looked smiling up at me A bachelor's house can be both heaven or hell and you showed me both and you taught me well about here and now about generosity about how to let go of a free spring breeze I'm just a middle-aged hippie from Northern Mississippi I like to drink a little brew maybe smoke a little boo but every time I do I get to thinkin' , thinkin' bout, thinkin' about you |
