North Mississippi Allstars - I Want Love To Be A Hippy lyrics

rate me

I'd love to be a hippy<br />

But my hair won't grow that long<br />

I'd love to be a hippy<br />

But my hair won't grow that long<br />

Just crazy about the way<br />

All the hippies carry on<br />

<br />

He might go up the mountain<br />

Tryin' to find a hiding place<br />

He might go up on the mountain<br />

Tryin' to find a hiding place<br />

No matter where you go<br />

He's got the long beard all in his face<br />

<br />

I'd love to be a hippy<br />

High up in the hills<br />

Down in Mississippi<br />

Taking all those hippy pills<br />

<br />

I'd love to be a hippy<br />

But my hair won't grow that long<br />

Just crazy about the way<br />

All the hippies carry on<br />

<br />

Now your family will drive you to smoking reefer<br />

Make the young girls sniff cocaine<br />

Now your family will drive you to smoking reefer<br />

Make the young girls sniff cocaine<br />

Take a little drink of whiskey<br />

Flush the dirt right down the drain<br />

<br />

I don't wanna be a teacher<br />

'Cause a teacher stays in school<br />

I don't wanna be a farmer<br />

I wasn't born to work like a mule<br />

<br />

I don't wanna be a preacher<br />

'Cause a preacher can't have no fun<br />

I don't wanna be a soldier<br />

So don't shoot me with your gun<br />

<br />

But I'd love to be a hippy<br />

But my hair won't grow that long<br />

But I'm crazy about the way<br />

All the hippies carry on<br />

<br />

Well, well, well, well<br />

Well, well, well
