During the war we all got together to smoke dope
It was every bodies vehicle to cope
We used an empty quonset hut room
Set up a big stereo with lots of boom
Each night after supper we'd all gather 'round
Pass the joints and crank up the sound
Our theme song was "Our House" by CS&N
We'd play it again and again and again
Sometimes I'd stand up and conduct the song
Everybody in the room would sing along
One night recently I was driving a four hour road trip
"Our House" came of the radio and I thought I would flip
I sang at the top of my voice and pounded on the dash
Jumped in my seat and surprised I didn't crash
I laughed and cried at the same time
For a few minutes there I felt sublime
I became so emotional I pulled over by this big tree
For a few glorious minutes I was free, I was free, I was free.
