I've sittin' at a mud hut on a mountain top Writin' this song for you You see, I've had it with society Me and the world are through Oh, my friends they think I'm truly weird Sittin' in my loincloth, growing my beard They say it's changed since I disappeared But I really couldn't give a damn I'm happy just the way I am Sittin' peacefully on Hermit Rock Got no money and I got no socks Got no television, got no clock I'm simple as a man can be I don't have to make no excuse I'm eating cabbage in my birthday suit Just a, a house of wattles and some berry juice for tea And I won't ask you to spend no time on Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock with me There was a time when my career was blazin' I made a fortune on the road Had a palace in the L.A. basin Ooh, I hit the motherlode Oh, my mama, she was really proud I was sellin' out to a sellout crowd Blew my ears off, I played so loud It was crazy tryin' to be the champ Now I'm happy just the way I am Sittin' peacefully on Hermit Rock Got no money and I've got no socks Got no television, got no clock I'm simple as a man can be Don't wanna see no more electric guitars No more Ferraris and no Jaguars
I found out I can be just as bizarre for free Oh, yes, I can And I won't ask you to spend no time on Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock with me Oh, sell my limousine and sell my Fender Have 'em nail up the hacienda And just give me some of Mother Nature's splendor I really do love my fans Bu I'm happy just the way I am Sittin' peacefully on Hermit Rock I got no money and I got no socks Got no television, got no clock I'm simple as a man can be Don't wanna see no more electric guitars No more Ferraris and no Jaguars I found out I can be just as bizarre for free Oh, yes, I can And I won't ask you to spend no time on Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock with me I won't ask you to spend no time on Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock with me And I won't ask you to spend no time on Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock with me I won't ask you to spend no time on Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock with me I won't ask you to spend no time on Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock with me I won't ask you to spend no time on Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock, Hermit Rock with me
