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 scene, waiting for a girl like you 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 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 Gussy's got a magic coat Magic boots and the antidote To the lonely life and everything I've been till now
