Lyrics

V1

I never made it to Woodstock

But I wrote a song about it

Crosby and the others sang folk-rock

It was one of their biggest hits



V2

I made my way from Canada

Made my home in California

Always searching the peace dove

Nash and I lived in Laurel Canyon



Chorus

I lived in a very, very, very fine house

It was the place musicians hung out

I could write and paint above the rush

It was the days of peace and love

At times I'm quiet as a mouse

Social observation is about

Being a voice that doesn't hush

The need to rise above



Bridge

The chaos that was going on



V3

I chose to quit the crazy scene

So I could focus on my art

I've always lived in between

The lines that keep people apart



Bridge

I know we can make it through these waves

My home has always been my comfort



Chorus

I lived in a very, very, very fine house

It was the place musicians hung out

I could write and paint above the rush

It was the days of peace and love

At times I'm quiet as a mouse

Social observation is about

Being a voice that doesn't hush

The need to rise above



Outro

My music is a care package from home

Let my voice bring your home

Home

A very, very, very fine house
