Lyrics

Nam was a-turnin’ in 1969
We headed off to Bethel to spend a little time
Just a little farm
Max Yazgar, he did own
Where he milked his cows, neighbors born and left alone
Thousands started coming, half a million more
Filling roads and fields, waiting at the door

Woodstock, it was meant to be
A festival of the age
Woodstock, music, peace, drugs, and love
Filling out for days
Woodstock was meant to happen
A psychedelic dream
History we made
In the middle of this theme
Woodstock

It was that damn war
We just wanted to be hip
Made us pack our van
To make the long trip
We made it to Bethel
In our tight, dark clothes
Sandals on our feet
Hair top with the rose
The trip was well worth it
Even with long lines
Bathed in the river
Saw chance one last time

Woodstock, it was meant to be
A festival of the age
Woodstock, music, peace, drugs, and love
Filling out for days
Woodstock was meant to happen
A psychedelic dream
History we made
In the middle of this theme
Woodstock

Santana caressed his guitar
Joe Cocker and The Who captivated us with their songs
Creature Haven 2
Great Dad gave their rock
All on his folk songs
With the Jefferson Airplane
We flew along
Janice was a-screaming
Jones mellow sound
Woodstock rocked us for days
Jimmy Spangled Banner closed it down

Woodstock, it was meant to be
A festival of the age
Woodstock, music, peace, drugs, and love
Filling out for days
Woodstock was meant to happen
A psychedelic dream
History we made
In the middle of this theme
Woodstock

Dreaming of a better time
Without flag drape graves
A community of hippies
For four long days
Had a vision of a new world
Of peace, love, and song
When the sky opened to the earth we belong
I head back to Bethel
It’s only in my mind
It always makes me smile
1969

Woodstock, it was meant to be
A festival of the age
Woodstock, music, peace, drugs, and love
Filling out for days
Woodstock was meant to happen
A psychedelic dream
History we made
In the middle of this theme
Woodstock
