Well, I have to tell about some folks today Who got together from across the USA Oh, they took their cars, their girls, their wives In their hands now they took their lives The spirit of Woodstock remains in America today
Well, they slept in bags on the grassy slopes of the highway And they were almost overcome by the heat in the traffic of the byway Well, now they ate their food from a little tin can 'Cause they didn't have any pots and pans The spirit of Woodstock remains in America today
Well I left my job and I began my journey I don't care what troubles this may bring I do my thing! Well, I was there so I know what I'm talking about When the music began you should have heard them holler and shout But then they sat in the mud, right next to each other Showing lots of love, like they're sisters and brothers The spirit of Woodstock remains in America today
When I was driving there it seems that every single rock 'n' roll station Had a talking 'bout our Woodstock across the nation Although the roads were closed at a-half past three If you had no ticket, they let you in free The spirit of Woodstock remains in America today
I said, the spirit of Woodstock remains in America today I said, the spirit of Woodstock remains in America today
