with the cane in his age spotted hand
old brown hat, the shuffle in his step
just might of stood in line for a new dylan album
might have been at woodstock
rollin’ in the mud with that old woman with him
now wearing the colorful babushka
pulled tightly over her beltone hearing aids
takin’ in hendrix
isle of wight, altamont
hung out at golden gate park in san francisco
or might of did his time in vietnam
was involved in the tet offensive
fought charlie from a b-52
dropped bombs over hanoi
flew copters by the dmz and da nang
voted for RFK in the california primary
maybe ‘rioted’ outside the international amphitheatre in chicago
democratic convention ‘68
possibly at kent state
marched in peace demonstrations with joan baez
tripped on some lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)
rode his motorcycle coast to coast
maybe knew jim morrison personally
hung out with jerry garcia and dr timothy leary
you just never know so show some respect
even if he didn’t do any of that, remember you’ll get old too
