This song was inspired by all of the kickass old hippies who I’ve grown up with, mostly through the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.  Because who doesn’t want to be a kickass old hippie lady?

 

LYRICS:

People say your youth goes quickly And you shouldn’t wish it by And I think I know what they mean, and that’s why I’ve deeeecided Chorus: I’m gonna go gray gracefully I’m gonna go gray gracefully Completely Botox free A life-time guarantee Cause I’m gonna go gray gracefully, Gonna go gray gracefully I want saggy little breasts and giant purple veins That show I’ve earned my age I want gray hair on my head and neurons in my brain That fire the wrong way Cause I don’t wanna be some lady on TV Who always is ashamed I would rather be the crazy wrinkled grannie who always gets her way! CHORUS I’m sure there’ll be a day I look at my reflection and don’t understand Where the hell the years went and why the bony fingers have replaced my hand But then I’ll take a step back, look at the whole picture And I’ll see that my face Is wrinkled to perfection and my pasty pale complexion is full of human graaaace CHORUS
