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