Gunhill Road - Back When My Hair Was Short lyrics

rate me

Back when my hair was short<br />

I was a white socked sport<br />

Wore pointed shoes and pegged pants<br />

Drank till my eyes were red<br />

Hid Playboy neath my bed<br />

Slicked my d.a. for the dance<br />

<br />

Back when my hair was short<br />

I met some friends in court<br />

For stealing hubcaps from cars<br />

Chain smoking under the stars<br />

Played all night pinball in bars<br />

And dreamed about love<br />

<br />

We were experts on love<br />

We talked our way all around it<br />

And even if we had found it<br />

We couldnt respond<br />

<br />

Slowly I changed my ways<br />

College and long-haired days<br />

Seeing three concerts a week<br />

An honest to God hippy freak<br />

Too busy eating to speak<br />

Except about love<br />

<br />

We held rallies for love<br />

But no one knew what they stood for<br />

How many months were they good for<br />

The meaning is gone<br />

<br />

Soon when my hair is short<br />

I'll make a full report<br />

Of how I came back alive<br />

And what it takes to survive<br />

Wringing the truth out of jive<br />

<br />

I'll tell you of love<br />

More than ever it's love<br />

No lack of faith undermines it<br />

Cause it's the hope that well find it<br />

That makes us go on<br />

<br />

Back when my hair was short<br />

I was a white socked sport<br />

Holding beer parties till three<br />

College appealed to me<br />

Eastern Philosophy...
