hard to be a hippie
It used to be that You could up and thumb a ride from Nashville to L.A. And everyone who stopped and picked you up Would get you high along the way  And it used to be that You could fall in and out of love in an afternoon And then fall again that evening And not think that it was happening too soon  But it's hard to be a hippie anymore It hurts more now Waking up on the floor Oh, it's still free But it ain't easy like before It's hard to be a hippie anymore  Fire it up boys  It used to be just walking down the street Would make the people stop and stare Now all the cowboys and the preppies And the rednecks and the yuppies have long hair  But I was always going places In my head and seeing things that blew my mind Now the only thing I'm trippin' on Are my own two feet, trying to keep up with the times Ah yeah, you know that's right  But it's hard to be a hippie anymore It hurts more now Waking up on the floor Oh, it's still free But it ain't easy like before It's hard to be a hippie anymore  Lord, it's still free But it ain't easy like before It's hard to be a hippie anymore
