Country Joe and the Fish was an American psychedelic rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1965.

I'm stuck on the LA freeway,
Got rainwater in my boots,
My thumb's done froze, can't feel my toes,
I feel a little destitute.
Wheels throwing water all over my axe
And Mr.Jones won't lend me a hand.
Up come two cats in a Cadillac
And they say,"Won't you hop in, man?"
I went flying high
All the way, all the way.

The one's that's driving's got a bowler hat,
The other's got a fez on his head.
They turn around and grin and I grin back
But not a word was said.
So I took out my harp and I played 'em a tune,
I could see they were diggin' it,
Then the one with the fez, well he turns and he says,
"We'd like to help you make your trip."
And I went flying high
All the way- all the way.

He said,"We can't leave him out in the rain,
He just might freeze and die,
So why not put him on a plane
And send him home in the sky?"
So they took me to the LA airport,
Laid twenty dollars in my hand.
Well, I paid my fair, I'm in the air
Flying back home again.
And I went flying high
All the way, yeah, all the way, all the way,
You know I went flying high all the way,
Don't you know I went flying high all the way
