HOLIDAY HILLS

V 64.  It was a holiday in the hills
Way back in sixty-four
Singles gave us big thrills
So we played indoors
And we heard it all
Way back in sixty-four 

CH.  Novato California
      20 miles north of the
         Golden Gate
      2000 west of General Mills
      Momma got her real estate
      Sweet home in HOLIDAY HILLS

V 65.  The sun was burning high
So we stayed inside
Music filled up our time
Strumming chords side by side
And we learned them all
Way back in sixty-five 

CH.  Minneapolis Minnesota 
      It wasn't part of the plan 
      That's where they paid our bills,
      But the music all began
      Way out in HOLIDAY HILLS

V 66.  In the winter of discontent
The chill of concrete bricks
So we hid in the basement
Writing songs just for kicks
And we wrote them all
Way back in sixty-six
V 67.
In the summer of peace and love 
All barricades were broken
We learned from Sgt Pepper's Club 
So we flipped it over again
And we wrote about it all
Way Back in sixty-seven

INST.

V 68.
Halls of ivory, our new mission
The draft board just had to wait
Every morning a composition
Writing music was our fate
And we wrote them all
Way Back in sixty-eight

V 69. A band looking for new songs
Learning some of mine
Come on and you can play along
So we decided to com-bine
And we played them all
Way back in sixty-nine

CH.  Minneapolis Minnesota
      It wasn't part of the plan, but
      The gigs there paid our bills, and 
      The music all began
      Way out in HOLIDAY HILLS

      Way out in HOLIDAY HILLS
      Way out in HOLIDAY HILLS
