Waiting on the sun to rise
Got a hole in my shoes and a pair of dice
Rolling on the ground waiting for a girl like you
Gussy don't know her strength
She can pull me down with a grin and a wink
You know she used to have dreads now she just keeps one on the side
I can't say what all this means
But it's too late to turn back now
Hippies don't like diamond rings
And time just hangs around
If I had a way to go you know that I'd be gone
I just wish to hold you close been living on my own too long
She got a tattoo down her arm
It talks about the time she was young
She was strong, she made it through some how
I was in love one time
And I've been drunk about a thousand rhymes
Just causing a scenе, waiting for a girl like you
I can't say what all this means
But it's too late to turn back now
Hippiеs don't like diamond rings
And time just hangs around
You've been gone for long enough
And I wish you'd come back home
I just wish to hold you close
Been living on the road too long
[splendid instrumental]
Gussy's got a magic coat
Magic boots and the antidote
To the lonely life and everything I've been till now
