Lyrics
Well, my baby moved on up the road to Boulder
And livin' there is makin' her so odd
She gave away her rockabilly records
And bought a new CD by Big Head Todd
We used to ride my '57 Chevy
But now she said that cruisin' leaves her bored
She's livin' in a psychedelic schoolbus
And drivin' round the country with the Horde
We used to have it good in Commerce City
Livin' in a cozy little shack
Her lipstick and her beehive looked so pretty
I wish that I could get my baby back
She used to fix me great big greasy breakfasts
But now she said that meat is on the outs
She found herself a hippie for a boyfriend
Who fixed her up some tofu and some sprouts
She gave away the high heels that I bought her
And got a pair of Dr. Martin boots
And the things that those Boulderites they taught her
She's smokin' pot and hash and snortin' toots
Her pretty ponytail's turned into dreadlocks
I don't know where she left her fishnet hose
But they wouldn't look so good with her Birkenstocks
Or the rings in her eyelids and her nose
