Hippie Hair (For the First Time)

Just like that it all shuts down

We vanish into screens

The bars go dark

The streets are clear

The days pass like a dream

While out there on the front lines

The news is only grim

And the least of all concerns is that

My hair could use a trim

But looking in the mirror

I see a rising dome

A shaggy dude with waves and curls

Like I have never known

A few more months, salons are back

But I make up my mind

Though my mother wonders why

Think I'll let my freak flag fly

And grow hippie hair for the first time

Hippie hair alright

When I sing hippie songs

For the first time I kinda look the part

I am letting it grow for my art

I was just a toddler

At the dawning of the Dead

Far too young for dropping out

I've got no '60s cred

Still I did meet Jerry

And I played his Wolf guitar

Never like to join a crowd

But I'm feeling strangely proud

I've got hippie hair for the first time

Hippie hair alright

When I sing hippie songs

For the first time

I kinda look the part

I am letting it grow for my art

In my mind I'm reeling

Through my teens again

From Daltrey to the Doobies

All the rockers had a mane

Is it much too late to strive

To be Frampton Comes Alive

With my hippie hair for the first time

Hippie hair alright

When I sing hippie songs

For the first time I kinda look the part

I am letting it grow for my

I am letting it grow for my art
