You know my Dad introduced me to this song. I thought it was cool. But now that I think about it he liked the old rockers , living his way, and listening to the tunes. I guess Buck was an old Hippie too and not a day since 2003 goes by I don’t miss him!
You know this song as an awesome song but I have to say I came here for redneck girl because he had the Kahuna's to say first comes love then comes marriage since I'm a Christian! thank you guys so much and everyone in the world have a great evening in Jesus name Amen! 🙏💖🎉 now ill go download the original version to my phone if I can find it lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think it was David who wrote Spiders and Snakes with Jim Stafford and Howard became his road manager. These men.became famous the old fashioned way They earned it. They'd shop at my dad's gun shop n Dade City when they were in town but they play like 200 nights a year. They're just awesome.imo An Old Hippie
This great song applies too all soldier's! Even the former South African Defense Force soldier's who fought in Angola relate. My Dad (RIP) loved this song. We soldier's all serve with Pride, Honour and Respect!! Salute and you don't know a true Brotherhood until you have served!
You are soo right, there music accompanied my whole life (and I am from Europe) they are so good. We had peace, when I immigrated to the US in 1982 the World was so cool. Now, politics, politics, politics and to round it up a pandemic.
hello from Arizona, this song is my life in a gracious moment. It still brings tears to my eyes. GOD BLESS AMERICA! and WELCOME HOME to ALL my VIETNAM VETERANS.
I saw them in the early 80’s in a small bar when I was in my early 20’s. I’m going to see them in a few weeks at a very small venue. Will probably be surreal. I’ve always thought a lot about seeing them and my early love for country music.
Einsame Spitze. 😊 Ich liebe Country Musik. 😒Ich habe Angst vor dem Tag, an dem die ganzen tollen aber auch alten Stars nicht mehr sind. 😒Was oder Wer kommt nach??
The line in the song...."this world may change around him but he just can't change no more " strikes such a strong chord with me. I'm only 45 yrs old and never knew the Vietnam Era. I feel like a hippie in today's world. The daily changes in political correctness, technology and everything else makes my head spin. It's exhausting to keep up. I'm tired of walking on egg shells in today's America. I've chosen to just be outdated, uncool and too simple. It's less stress in my life. Thank you guys for making music that hits home to millions of people just like myself!
Dear Bellamy Brothers - I wanted to say thanks to a fantastic song! I remember you with your superior songs at the German Discos in the 1980´s, this was a great time, may God always bless you! Greetings out of Bavaria, Germany.
In 2018, I am 66. This song applied to all of us vets. Makes me happy and real sad, where did the years go? At 45 rear ended by a school bus freeway speed herniating 10 discs. Diagnosed with MS 2011. Damn it was great to be young even being trained to be a killer in the Army. Travel in greens and get spit on and called baby killer. Now its changed and wearing my Vietnam hat people thank me for my service. Lost many friends on the wall! I cried like a baby looking at the wall! Not long left now.
The Bellamy Brother’s - the BEST country band ever! I loved them when they first became famous in 1976 and I love them even more now. I have seen them in concert twice, but this live version of Old Hippie is the greatest I have ever heard! I love every song they sing!! Their voices are still fabulous! Hope I get to see them again.
This song came out in 1985 but it seems like it was just yesterday. So when he sang "He turned 35 last Sunday", it threw me for a loop. I had to do the math to make sure: (Born in 1950 to '85=35) Yea, 35 y.o. My gosh, people who were 35 when this came out are now 74, 75 y.o. I was 17 when this came out (but I've always identified more with 60s and 70s music), now I'm 56 and 35 is nowhere near old to me. Time sure does fly. Now I'M the "Old Hippie". Lol. But I'm a lot older than 35.
When I was growing up in early 70’s I knew a lot of old hippies who came back from Vietnam some not so well and here we are almost 50 years later now I’m an old hippie✌🏽😮💨
I'm 78 and this song brings a tear. You youngsters have no idea what life was like in the 60s.
I do it was passed through my blood notes.
Not too far behind you. I just hit 70.
I'm glad I don't. Life is hard enough without the draft and with modern conveniences
I’m now 75 now and know what you’re saying!
Amen bro im 77 and this song, brings back memories
Arguably, the most underrated act in the history of Country Music.
Absolutely!
There are a lot more of us "Old Hippies" still left then people realize. We are the children of the 50's.
This sums up how I feel in 2024. Old soul lost in this dismal world we now live in
You know my Dad introduced me to this song. I thought it was cool. But now that I think about it he liked the old rockers , living his way, and listening to the tunes. I guess Buck was an old Hippie too and not a day since 2003 goes by I don’t miss him!
My old man did the same for me

Feel good music! New musicians, listen up. This is how it’s done.
One of the most underrated acts in the history of Country Music.
For those who know, this tune brings a tear...
RIP to my lost friends who were lost in battle
I love this song. It only so true no matter who you are we are all headed there.
All the very
Best for
2o24

Very best thank you so much❤❤❤🎉
Drug use aside probably the best band of all time! Don't think they sang a bad song!
Drugs ? Say it isn't so. I would be devastated with that knowledge. Please.
The old hippy died this year. He is my x he was abusive but it was due to nam. I did do and will always love him. This song Fit him perfect.
I think it was David who wrote Spiders and Snakes with Jim Stafford and Howard became his road manager.
These men.became famous the old fashioned way
They earned it.
They'd shop at my dad's gun shop n Dade City when they were in town but they play like 200 nights a year. They're just awesome.imo
An Old Hippie
I went to Vietnam on my senior trip and the only woodstick I remember was on an M14.
Got that on my bumper 67-68, blessing.
This great song applies too all soldier's! Even the former South African Defense Force soldier's who fought in Angola relate. My Dad (RIP) loved this song. We soldier's all serve with Pride, Honour and Respect!! Salute and you don't know a true Brotherhood until you have served!
Yup....from an old disabled Army vet.
Wow how I
Love this song so
Wonderful
Ballamy❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Terrific song! What a great story. I know lots of guys like this.
Beautiful music! Where have those moments gone, those people who had love and joy in their hearts and were able to share them.
You are soo right, there music accompanied my whole life (and I am from Europe) they are so good. We had peace, when I immigrated to the US in 1982 the World was so cool. Now, politics, politics, politics and to round it up a pandemic.
Listening to this, smoking on some old hippie stash from trulieve! 😤💨😎
That's the best harmonica, I swear.
My generation!☮🤘
Back when singers performed live and sounded decent. The Simon and Garfunkel of country/Americana music
hello from Arizona, this song is my life in a gracious moment. It still brings tears to my eyes. GOD BLESS AMERICA! and WELCOME HOME to ALL my VIETNAM VETERANS.

I wish i was there to see this live
Back when that was some great music
I saw them in the early 80’s in a small bar when I was in my early 20’s. I’m going to see them in a few weeks at a very small venue. Will probably be surreal. I’ve always thought a lot about seeing them and my early love for country music.
I saw them in the early 80's. In Stuttgart Germany!

They are a treasure, and still going strong today.
Amazing group
Really,wonderful country❤❤❤❤
good old country they can't seem to make country like this anymore

That's some of the best shit i've ever heard,would love to have this live version on cd.
Very good music, i love USA

Now I'M the "Old Hippie". Lol. But I'm a lot older than 35.
WERE YOU AN OLD HIPPIE? TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM ,REMEMBER HE IS MINE !!! AND I NEED HIM !!!
This song is my anthem thats me
GREAT time, with its story! The harmonica player and the fellow in the blue shirt add to the rhythm and improve the show!
What country duo can even approach these guy's talent? Maybe Brooks and Dunn, but that's IT!
Yep, Brooks and Dunn. The list ends there.
When I was growing up in early 70’s I knew a lot of old hippies who came back from Vietnam some not so well and here we are almost 50 years later now I’m an old hippie✌🏽😮💨
God bless. I have busted cattle since 13Yrs old. 1983. Now I sweat to hoold it all together. Git sum. Pride says to keep on keeping on.
Lucky to see them in Lincoln NE when my husbands boss had the play at the company party! OPA!
This is the theme song on my RUclips channel because I’m also an old hippie!!!!
Wow love
You all
