Road Trip For The Aging Hippie

Lyrics for my original song. Join our 2026 journey cross country. Today it begins.

[Verse 1]

Back in the day, we wanted to roam and play,

Life felt so simple, nothing stood in our way.

Bell-bottomed jeans, and our hair long and free,

One small bag carried all we’d need.

[Chorus]

Oh, road trip for the aging hippie,

With memories and dreams still so trippy,

Pack it all up, hit the road once more,

Follow the sun through that open door.

[Verse 2]

Music blaring, windows cranked down low,

Not knowing exactly where we wanted to go.

But today’s journey, it needs a plan,

Filling the senior citizen version of a hippie van.

[Chorus]

Oh, road trip for the aging hippie,

With memories and dreams still so trippy,

Pack it all up, hit the road once more,

Follow the sun through that open door.

[Bridge]

Bringing just the essentials, got bags piled

Clothes kept simple.Need room for medical supplies

One bag just for shoes, they’re orthopedic now,

Barefooting’s a memory; our feet won’t allow

[Verse 3]

Save room for the gel, to tame this wild hair,

That flowing, long look is now wispy and rare.

Windows no longer crank, they slide like a dream,

Heated seats cradling us, like warm sunshine beams.

[Chorus]

Oh, road trip for the aging hippie,

With memories and dreams still so trippy,

Pack it all up, hit the road once more,

Follow the sun through that open door

[Verse 4]

In our minds, we’re youthful, with hearts full of cheer,

Letting enthusiasm cover all that we fear.

Taking in the landscapes, the sunsets so grand,

With laughter and love, wobbling a bit as we stand..

[Outro]

So here’s to the journey. Joy filling our hearts,

Let’s hit the road, let this adventure start.

Life might have changed, but we’re still alive,

On a road trip for the aging hippie, we’re ready to drive.
