You're forty-five
And you're still trying to get that high
Like when you were twenty-five
And you thought that you could fly
Into September
Remember
The summer of '69
When Jimi's Gypsy Sun
And rainbows
Played Woodstock
I wish I was there
To see Crosby, Stills and Nash
And Joni Mitchell
Writing the sound track for a generation
The summer lives on
Catskill mountains over new York state
I heard Neil Young was there
But not on film they say
You should remember
September
From the summer of '69
When Jimi's Gypsy Sun
And rainbows
Played Woodstock
I wish I was there
To see Crosby, Stills and Nash
And Joni Mitchell
Writing the soundtrack for a generation
For a generation
Jeff Beck didn't go to play
But they Jefferson Airplane
Bob Dylan left his home
Like a rolling stone (stone)
When Jimi's Gypsy Sun
And rainbows
Played Woodstock
I wish I was there
To see Crosby, Stills and Nash
And Joni Mitchell
Writing the soundtrack for a generation
For a generation
For a generation
For a generation
Oh for a generation
