Hippie Girl
Unknown Hinson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was purty
She was hawt
Bell bottom jeans
And halter top
Hitchin' a ride by the road
Nothin' looked finer
At the college down the road
And I said "Baby is that your major, or your minor?"
She said "You got any spare change?"
And I said "Hell no, get a job!
I sing country songs for a livin'
And I don't like that hippie mess - but I like the way you dress
What kinda payment for this ride are you givin'?"
Huh?
Hey little hippie girl
How 'bout some free love, baby?
I ain't takin' no drugs
But I'll sure take some'a hippie girls free love
That's right
She started talkin' about Plato, Socrates, and ol' Van Gogh
And how she loves wise mans that made her think
And she offered me some wine from a little leather pouch
I said "Hell no, party liquors all I drink."
She said "Do you want to turn on?"
I said "Turn on what? The radio? The wipers? Or the air conditioning?"
She said "Drive out into the woods, I've got some herb, and man, it's good."
And I could tell that she was propositionin'
Yeah Yeah
Hey little hippie girl
How 'bout some free love, baby?
I ain't takin' no drugs
But I'll sure take some'a hippie girls free love
She lit a cigarette
It smelled like burning leaves
I coughed my guts out
Parked underneath the trees
"Hey hey! Put that damn thing out, baby. Let's go!"
I heard the Star Spangled Banner played like never before
Some kind of fuzzy, distorted guitar sound
Then she done a hippie dance on the hood of my Cadillac
While I got sick and crawled around on the ground
She took a headband from her hair and then she lassoed me
She pulled me close
She felt soft and warm
And she said "It's getting late. It's almost curfew time. Would you mind giving me a ride back to my dorm?"
"What the hell,Little hippie girl?!"
How 'bout some free love, baby?
I ain't takin' no drugs
But I'll sure take some'a hippie girls free love
That's right
I ain't takin' no drugs
But I'll sure take some'a hippie girls free love
Think about it
You got a boyfriend baby?
He got long hair?
Which dorm does he live in?
What's his name?
Huh? Sunshine?
Yeah!
The song "Hippie Girl" by Unknown Hinson is a humorous take on a young man's encounter with a free-spirited hippie girl. The lyrics describe how he is initially attracted to her physical appearance β her bell bottom jeans and halter top β but is taken aback by her interest in philosophy and her lack of employment. He goes on to describe how she offers him wine and drugs, and he declines both. Despite this, he still seems interested in her and jokingly asks for "some free love."
The song is a satirical take on the hippie culture of the 1960s and 1970s, which was characterized by a rejection of mainstream values, interest in alternative lifestyles, and experimentation with drugs. The lyrics poke fun at the stereotype of the "hippie girl," portraying her as naive and idealistic. The singer's offers of "free love" are clearly meant to be tongue-in-cheek, making light of the era's sexual liberation movement.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a commentary on the tension between mainstream society and counterculture in the 1960s and 1970s. The singer is clearly skeptical of the hippie lifestyle, but is still drawn to the hippie girl's carefree attitude and unconventional thinking. In the end, he seems to almost admire her, but ultimately declines her offer to accompany her back to her dorm.
