gunhill road – back when my hair was short (original 1972 version) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
back when my hair was short
i was a white sock sport
holdin’ beer parties ’til three
college appealed to me, eastern philosophy
feedin’ my mind lsd, thc, stp

[verse 2]
and i was into a heavy scene
reading “screw” magazine
seeing three concerts a week
an honest+to+god hippie freak
too busy eating to speak

[chorus]
except about love (love)
i knew all kinds of love
love of a man for his brother
and love to rip off one another
while screaming “right on!”

[verse 3]
back when my hair was short
before i’ve been to court
for selling dope to some kids
mm+hmm, only a couple of lids
they stood around and made bids
[chorus]
and talked about love (love)
they were experts on love
love of a man for his vision
and love to make no real decision
when they’re called upon

[verse 4]
soon when my hair is short
i’ll make a full report
of how i came back alive (came back, came back alive)
and what it takes to survive
wringing the truth out of jive

[chorus]
i’ll tell you of love (love)
i knew all kinds of love
love of a man for his neighbor
and love to put nails in your savior
then cry when he’s gone
