Willie Nelson - Hard To Be A Hippie lyrics

[Verse 1] It used to be that You could up and thumb a ride from Nashville to L.A And everyone who stopped and picked you up Would get you high along the way And it used to be that You could fall in and out of love in an afternoon And then fall again that evening And not think that it was happening too soon [Chorus 1] But it's hard to be a hippie anymore It hurts more now Waking up on the floor Oh, it's still free But it ain't easy like before It's hard to be a hippie anymore [Verse 2] Fire it up boys It used to be just walking down the street Would make the people stop and stare Now all the cowboys and the preppies And the rednecks and the yuppies have long hair But I was always going places In my head and seeing things that blew my mind Now the only thing I'm tripping on Are my own two feet, trying to keep up with the times Ah yeah, you know that's right [Chorus 1] [Outro] Lord, it's still free But it ain't easy like before It's hard to be a hippie anymore
