My wife said, "Dear, youâre almost thirty-three
Donât you think itâs time to change your ways?
The kids are starvinâ, the dog is barkinâ
We havenât had a meal in three days"
"No one wants to hear a musician play
When they know heâs past his prime
Everybody knows when itâs his turn to quit
And I think youâve reached your time"
Iâm tired of wearing buckskin
I think I'll trade my Levis for some new Bermuda shorts
'Cause my wife and kids donât wanna see their daddy
Be a hippie no more
I said, "Listen ma
Iâm gonna get a job and maybe go back to school
I ain't gonna be mad or bitter toward life
'Cause it treated me so cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel"
"I think Iâll even give up smokinâ that week
'Cause it boggles up my mind
Iâm gonna start my life all over again
Gonna leave that past behind"
Iâm tired of wearing buckskin
I think Iâll trade my Levis for some new Bermuda shorts
'Cause my wife and kids donât wanna see their daddy
Be a hippie no more
Iâm tired of wearing buckskin
I think Iâll trade my Levis for some new Bermuda shorts
'Cause my wife and kids donât wanna see their daddy
Be a hippie no more, no more [Incomprehensible]
Iâm tired of wearing buckskin
I think Iâll trade my Levis for some new Bermuda shorts
'Cause my wife and kids donât wanna see their daddy
Be a hippie no more, whoa
