lyrics

Can't tell we're not hippies by what I drive
And how she shaves her legs
You may mistake my manner as passive
But mama insisted I behave
We met the hour that things go sideways
Around nine o'clock or ten
Played some pool and drank some booze
And fell in love at the bar

There are places in this world that won't let you be who you are
I've roamed this country, and I've seen how they are.

I love the soil and the toil and to
Watch it grow in the sun
She wants to grow old and doesn't mind my
Receding hairline and crooked toes
So don't you give out
Don't you step down
'Cause you have not found it yet
I can say that I know what pain is
And there is more than one path

There are people in this world who won't let you be who you are
I've roamed this country and I've seen how they are.

Can't tell we're not hippies by how we act or
People who cross the line
I have respect for those who step out
But not by product of design
You have your own feet and you can buy steel
It does not mean you are apart

There are people in this world who will not let you be who you are
I've roamed this country and I've seen how they are.

And it's high time you grow up from yourself
High time you harvest from the shelf
High time you took a look outside
High time
