I am trying to find the name of the group and the title of a song i heard years ago. I only have pieces of the lyrics of the song can anybody out there help me with te title and artists. The piece of lyric goes like this "...by the time I got to woodstock, they were ..." . I believe the song is about the crowd at woodstock that year

That song is actually called "Woodstock". It was written and first recorded by Jomi Mitchell. She wanted to play at Woodstock but she couldn't make it, so she wrote a song about it instead.
The most famous version of the song was done by a band called Matthews Southern Comfort, that's probably the version you know. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young also recorded it and it was on their 1971 album Deja Vu, their version was more "rocking". Like I said, it's probably Matthews Southern Comforts version that you've heard, because that's the version that was in the charts and it gets played on the radio more than the other versions.

The song is "Woodstock" written by Joni Mitchell, but performed also by:
Crosby, Stills and Nash, on the album Deja Vu. "Well I came upon a child of God, he was walkin' along the road..and I asked him "where are you goin'" This he told me. "Well I'm goin down to Yasgur's farm, gonna join a rock and roll band, gotta get back to the land and set my soul free."
We are stardust, we are carbon, - caught in the Devil's bargain,
and we got to get ourselve's back to the garden.
Well, then can I walk beside you?, I have come to lose the smog, and I feel to be a cog in something turning. And maybe it's the time of year, or maybe it's the time of man, well I don't know who I am, but life is for learning.
(chorus)
By the time we got to Woodstock, we were half a million strong,
and everywhere was a song and celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet-planes riding shotgun in the skies, turning into butterflies above our nation.
(Chorus)
Thie- from memory...so probably a few errors in transcription.
