43 - Gunhill Road - Back When My Hair Was Short

[00:12.36] Back when my hair was short

[00:15.03] I was a white sock sport

[00:17.16] Wore pointed shoes and pegged pants

[00:22.20] Drank 'til my eyes were red

[00:24.59] Hid "Playboy" 'neath my bed

[00:26.71] Slicked my d.a. for the dance

[00:29.64] (When you dance, when you dance)

[00:36.29] Back when my hair was short

[00:38.69] I met some friends in court

[00:40.81] For stealing hubcaps from cars

[00:45.61] Chain smoking under the stars

[00:50.41] Played all night pinball in bars

[00:53.60] And dreamed about love (Love)

[00:56.55] We were experts on love

[00:59.73] We talked our way all around it

[01:04.79] And even if we had found it

[01:07.98] We couldn't respond

[01:11.70] Slowly I changed my ways

[01:14.08] College and long-haired days

[01:16.49] Seeing three concerts a week

[01:21.26] An honest-to-God hippie freak

[01:25.79] Too busy eating to speak

[01:29.24] Except about love (Love)

[01:32.16] We held rallies for love

[01:35.35] But no one knew what they stood for

[01:40.12] How many months were they good for?

[01:43.58] The meaning is gone

[01:47.32] Soon when my hair is short

[01:49.71] I'll make a full report

[01:52.10] Of how I came back alive (Came back, came back alive)

[01:56.89] And what it takes to survive

[02:01.66] Wringing the truth out of jive

[02:04.85] I'll tell you of love (Love)

[02:07.76] More than ever it's love

[02:11.21] No lack of faith undermines it

[02:16.01] 'Cause it's the hope that we'll find it

[02:19.19] That makes us go on

[02:23.17] Back when my hair was short

[02:25.30] I was a white sock sport

[02:27.69] Holding beer parties 'til three

[02:32.73] College appealed to me

[02:35.13] Eastern philosophy
