Letras de Old Hippie III (Saved)

He′ll be 55 this weekend, can't believe he′s lived this long
But now he hangs out with his grandkids, instead of tokin' on his bong
He still thinks about the crazy days, but thanks his God above
That he's traded in the love-ins, for a greater kind of love
He still shoots-em that ole peace sign
Still gentle as a dove

He loves all kinds of music, Country Rock with a little roll
But nowadays, he′s partial to the melodies that saved his soul
Life has put him through the ringer, friends have fallen through the cracks
And all the trips he′s taken have been to hell and back
He don't feel that kool no more
But he don′t care, and that's a fact

He′s an old hippie, getting older every day
But his eyes are on the prize, and his faith ain't gone astray
He′s an old hippie, he knows what his life is for
Tryna get right with the man, before he goes
Knockin' on Heaven's doors

He′s been confused by the issues from Vietnam to Desert Storm
But he prays every night for the guys and gals in uniform
He ain′t tryin' to convert you, just glad for your new start
And he won′t be preachin' to you, like some born again old fart
He′ll just tell you 'bout the love he′s found
Deep within his heart

He's an old hippie, getting older every day
But his eyes are on the prize, and his faith ain't gone astray
He′s an old hippie, he knows what his life is for
Tryin′ to get right with the man, before he goes
Knockin' on Heaven′s doors

Well he skips the crowds and gatherin's, spends some quiet time alone
His family is his universe, and Heaven is his home
He′s seen and done it all, been in the belly of the whale
He's looked the devil in the eye, and sent him back to hell
Gives thanks to Jesus every day
That he′s lived to tell the tale

He's an old hippie, getting older every day
But his eyes are on the prize, and his faith ain't gone astray
He′s an old hippie, he knows what his life is for
Tryin′ to get right with the man, before he goes
Knockin' on Heaven′s doors

Just tryin' to get right with the man, before he goes
Knockin′ on Heaven's doors
