A Blast from the past 1973

[sistergoldenhair]

This was one of my favorite songs back in the early 70's I always played it but I don't think it was too popular!

Back when my hair was short-Gunhill Road

Back when my hair was short
I was a white socked sport
Wore pointed shoes and pegged pants
Drank till my eyes were red
Hid Playboy neath my bed
Slicked my d.a. for the dance

Back when my hair was short
I met some friends in court
For stealing hubcaps from cars
Chain smoking under the stars
Played all night pinball in bars
And dreamed about love

We were experts on love
We talked our way all around it
And even if we had found it
We couldnt respond

Slowly I changed my ways
College and long-haired days
Seeing three concerts a week
An honest to God hippy freak
Too busy eating to speak
Except about love

We held rallies for love
But no one knew what they stood for
How many months were they good for
The meaning is gone

Soon when my hair is short
Ill make a full report
Of how I came back alive
And what it takes to survive
Wringing the truth out of jive

Ill tell you of love
More than ever its love
No lack of faith undermines it
Cause its the hope that well find it
Top40db: The most accurate lyrics site on the net.
That makes us go on

Back when my hair was short
I was a white socked sport
Holding beer parties till three
College appealed to me
Eastern Philosophy.....

That is a great nostalgia song, SGH! It's also one that has been brought up many times on The Click as well as on other boards. I guess it's a great example of songs that grow in popularity over the years.

I think I've also mentioned before that I'm pretty sure that I went to summer camp with the lead singer, Glenn Leopold.

wOW sorry I didn't know it was brought up before.
That is really neat though that you went to camp with the lead singer! Or maybe it wasn't if camp was a dreaded thing!I know a lot of kids that hated it and a lot that loved it!

Great song. And don't worry about stuff that's been brought up before. On this board, with people who know their stuff about music, it happens a lot.
