Old Grey Deadhead

Berkley Hart

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
