My hippie boy don't wanna be a man,
My hippie boy don't wanna understand,
My hippie boy lives in a volkswagen van

My hippie boy don't know how to communicate,
he says he knows love that knows no hate
My hippie boy uses life up to feel it
Yeah he's my hippie boy

My hippie boy don't know his own feelings,
wants to draw flowers on my ceiling
I think my hippie boy is trying to do me in

My hippie boy don't wanna follow the commandments,
don't follow law, he don't follow government,
My hippie boy wants to start his own settlement, his own settlement
Yeah, he's my hippie boy

He said come sit beside me,
tell me about the things you adore
Please don't remind me,
that I am not the boy you'd hoped for

My hippie boy won't get up off his ass,
he don't care if he failed or if he passed
My hippie boy, I know he has been smoking grass
My hippie boy don't never know where to begin,
he says he wasn't put on this earth to fit in,
my hippie boy's got his mama sticking up for him,
she's always sticking up for him
Yeah he's my hippie boy

And he said come sit beside me,
tell me about the things you adore
And please don't remind me,
that I am not the boy you'd hoped for,
no, I've not become what you'd hoped for

My hippie boy left our lives to join a band,
he says he's been praised throughout the land
My hippie boy bought his mama a car for 20 grand
They say he's putting our town up on the map,
the mayor called this morning for a photograph
Kids are asking for my autograph, yes a my autograph,
'cause of my hippie boymmm, yeah, because of my hippie boy,
mmm, yeah, because of my hippie boy
