Enjoy this GREAT SONG from Woodstock era !
PEACE&LOVE !!!

Lyrics :
-I’m going up the country, babe don’t you wanna go
-I’m going up the country, babe don’t you wanna go
-I’m going to some place where I’ve never been before
-I’m going, I’m going where the water tastes like wine
-Well I’m going where the water tastes like wine
-We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
-I’m gonna leave this city, got to get away
-I’m gonna leave this city, got to get away
-All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can’t stay
-Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we’ve got to leave today
-Just exactly where we’re going I cannot say, but
-We might even leave the USA
-’Cause there’s a brand new game that I want to play
-No use of you running, or screaming and crying
-’Cause you’ve got a home as long as I’ve got mine

btw I’ve never made this video

Duration : 0:3:14

    You know go get laid or something and get yourself right. Quit obsessing about the freedom hippies or other people chose back in the day . If they wanted to trot around naked then so be it at least you know they weren’t packin! Enjoy the music, we did then and we still do now!

    you wouldn’ know how to camp and enjoy what came at you unless you had a bag of chips in one hand and a microwave in the other.
    free the ghetto? could you hang without power chips, all the conveniences of life? Music is cool I saw them in concert when I was 10 In 1968. Yeah I am a semi old but I can hang in the woods. Can You?

    Gus also said there were some lesbo lovers kissing, petting wet (somebody must have brought their kitty) and showing some naked boobies and butts out in the open. This song rocks man, I wish there was more of this and less Jay-Z and Lady Gaga!-y’know?

    Hats off to Max …
    Hats off to Max Yagur for allowing his land to use for 3 days of love and peace. And in his words, he saw nothing but love & peace. No trouble like the past 2 Woodstocks, in 94 and 99. 1969 was a good year, except maybe the Manson murders, which he believed the Beatles were telling him to do! What a piece of from my hometown! I just wish they’d let those girls out of prison. They were brainwashed by a dysfunctional product of the prison system. You can’t blame the Beatles for his acts.

    I graduated from Hi school in 69′ from CA,and then moved to upstate NJ.I got a job at a hospital and there were a lot of other young ppl working there.When all this happened a group wanted to get up enough ppl. to go to Woodstock.I was asked if I wanted to go.I had seen reports on TV and decided NO WAY! None of them went after all,now I kinda think “What wd of happened”. I wasn’t at all into drugs or smoking or alcohol so I guess it wouldn’t have been fun..but,who knows?
