American Zen - Proud To Be A Hippy Lyrics

I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a
When I was 16
I had a VW Microbus
Had a hole in the roof
So you could stand up in the back
I was flying in the desert wind
Arms stretched out like a soaring eagle
Soaring, coasting, flying along in my Volkswagon van
I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a
Had a Triumph motorbike
Custom chromed handlebars
Flames painted on the tank
Dodge the law
Hide and seek with sunrise--I'm proud to be a hippy
After my graveyard shift--I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a
Got Hendrix first album
The day it hit our store
Our drummer Thick, worked in a music store
My first concert was Led Zeppelin
Jethro Tull was the opening act
My number wasn't called for the 72 draft
I was free to be in Venice Beach
Canada was very nice
The FBI bugged my mom
Wrote a novel Sid's Place
About a drug runner named, Tom
Became a recording engineer
Tape spools in Bonita, California
My first album hit the radio
KPRI and KROQ live radio
Backseat Love on KLOS
On KLOS
1984 during the birth of music video
REO Speedwagon and a rock opera - What a show!
Met my first wife here from Mexico
Coyotito El Brujo
What does that mean?
Coyotito El Brujo
Coyotito El Brujo
What does that mean?
When I hit 50 I realized I was cool
I realized I was proud to be a hippie
I broke some rules
I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a hippy
I'm proud to be a - you know what
A happy hippy
