The Rebel Hippie

The Rebel Hippie


Free love go out and burn your bras
 Let's head to Canada to avoid the draft
 To hitch hike across that state line put in a bind
 Shadows hung on the 70's décor onto so much more

 Shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning plow
 Shades of red feelings of cosmos filled inside my head
 We traveled so far not to turn back now
 Haunted by the audience of the times

 There's Wavy Gravy doing nothing too shady
 A tug at the heart should light the spark to what it was I have been waiting for
 Then there's Studio 54 with Andy Warhol's tomato soup cans
 The rebel hippie knows & fully understands

 The sign of the times a line drawn in the sand
 Hendrix was the rage putting dudes in their purple haze
 Onto Pink Floyd it's still Us & Them,
 Mere creatures of habit trying to find a friend

 Neil Young in his attire Old Man take a look at my life
 Those bell bottom blues not to mention high healed hippie shoes
 Let's learn from the poets as we are all really dust in the wind
 Shades of black torn in it's unique diversion

 Those were the days with you would wake up late in a daze !
