I saw this hippy, least i think it was hippy
had on funny clothes and its hair was all trippy
I says hey you, you sure are a hunny;
even with hairy pitts and yer eyes red and funny
he just smiles, gives my cheek a peck
says you'd be cute too, if you just washed your neck
so i takes off my hat, jangled a spur
stared at the ground, tried not to slur
and i says to him "man" in my best western drawl
i been a wondering since i been seeing ya'all
why yer always smilin and dancing around
with the way people stare you ought to be down
he just grins, with a knowing little smile
says kick off your boots, stay for a while
then he pulls outa cig, a marlboro it was not
says i got a secret, you need to be taught
then he borrows my lighter, sparks up the end
I was a little surprised when he held the smoke in
then he hands it to me, I take a puff
a few minutes later I was liking the stuff
the colours got pretty, I mighta saw god
started thinking that icecream would taste good on cod
well, to make a long story short and avoid all the fuss
i traded my truck for a vw bus
got some bellbottoms, a greatfull dead tee
stopped cutting my hair, let it grow free
now when folks see me, out on the range
they just kinda laugh and think that im strange
but to tell ya the truth, dont care what they think
cause i sure dont mind, and barefeet never stink
