Summer Of Love

by Band Under Plexiglass | Strange Times

 

 Summer of Love

 

She was a hot-blooded redhead in Bell Bottom jeans

Daisies in her hair, headin’ straight for the scenes

Drivin’ to ‘Frisco ‘long Highway 1

In a VW Bus singin’ songs of Love

With its head out the window was her shaggy dog

Rollin’ down the highway through the Big Sur fog

Happy go lucky, not a care in the world

Feelin’ kinda groovy with her sails unfurled

 

When she got to frisco all huddled around

Was a group of hippy diggers who had just come to town

Shackin’ up in Haight Ashburry Hood

Protestin’ the war and tryin’ to do good

Timothy Leary dropped in to say high

And Lucy and her diamonds were up in the sky

Purple haze, glowing beads and long hair

Janis and Jimi and Bob were all there

 

Those were the days, it was the Summer of Love

Hair flowin’ free, Peace, Love and Drugs

California Dreamin’, it was far out and out of sight

Smokin’ Marijuana all day and all night

 

There he was with guitar in hand

Needin’ Someone to Love, so I joined his band

Paisley shirts, psychedelic grooves

Rings on her fingers, settin’ the mood

We’re Expecting to Fly out to Yasgur’s Farm

The lure of Woodstock and all of it’s charm

Campin’ and dancin’ underneath the Stars

You and me baby trip to Venus and Mars

 

Those were the days, it was the Summer of Love

Hair flowin’ free, Peace, Love and Drugs

California Dreamin’, it was far out and out of sight

Smokin’ Marijuana all day and all night

 

Those were the days, it was the Summer of Love

Hair flowin’ free, Peace, Love and Drugs

California Dreamin’, it was far out and out of sight
