    I just wanted a "tongue in cheek" song about an aging hippie looking back and wondering what life is all about... still.

    Story Behind the Song
    A friend was “rolling her own, wink, wink!! and doing a miserable job, and I remarked “I’m going to send you back to Hippie School”. That stuck in my head and eventually became a song.

    Lyrics
    Back To Hippie School
    Words and music by Steve Darr

    You forgot how to rock, you forgot how to roll
    Did you lose yourself? tell me that it isn’t so
    Lately you’ve been out of sorts, the world won’t go away
    Your hitting on somebody’s wife, they’ll sure be hell to pay
    Your hair is gray and thinning, your kids are smoking pot
    Your rolling days are over, you’ve lost coherent thought

    I’m gonna send you back to hippie school
    Bring your flowers and love beads and your incense too
    Back to the garden on the hill with the fool
    Gonna send you back to hippie school

    You used to be so mellow, true believer all the way
    Now your stock is up on Wall Street, your life’s a caberet
    Your wife’s got a Mercedes, to keep her satisfied
    But she’s still staying out all night, looking for her life
    Don’t tell me you forgot, that all we need is love
    The world has changed it’s all deranged with no help from above

    I’m gonna send you back to hippie school
    Bring your love and your peace and your Mojo too
    Back to the garden on the hill with the fool
    Gonna send you back to hippie school

    Bridge

    You forgot how to rock you forgot how to roll
    Did you find yourself, did you find your soul?
    Do you ever stop and think, was I really there?
    When we were dancing in the moonlight and love was in the air
    When it’s all said and done, and you’ve regained your cool
    You’ll be glad I sent you back, back to hippie school

    Bridgex2
    end
