Lots of good candidates, but I'm going to go with this, especially on account of the lyrics
Same here.
This song might not be the quintessential hippie song. However it's a song that I associate with Woodstock -- especially its laid-back rural theme. It's anthmeic in its own subtle way.
Canned Heat - Going Up the Country

The two obvious ones for me are San Francisco and All You Need is Love. Both are spreading the hippie message overtly in a way the others are not.
Since I could only vote for one, I reluctantly chose the Beatles one because it's a little more universal. The Scott MacKenzie seems to relate particularly to the USA, although I know it was embraced by young people worldwide.For example it was No. 1 for eight weeks in a row in Melbourne. I don't think All You Need Is Love was on top for quite that long.
