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
