Lyrics
Old Grey Deadhead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He's almost 57
But he remembers 25 like it was yesterday
He still feels that way
He's got a house in Sausalito
But for nearly 30 years he made his bed
Following the Dead
[chorus]
He's an old gray Deadhead
Lost in the summer of '69
He's an old gray Deadhead
He don't trip no more, but he still gets high
He calls his girlfriend "mama"
He wears a rock-and-roll t-shirt everyday
And he hardly ever shaves
He still loves "Truckin'"
No matter what his other Dead friends say
He loves "Truckin'" anyway
[chorus]
He had a motorcycle
He sold it when Jerry Garcia died
He said he had nowhere left to ride
