John Fogerty is one talented guy. You have to admire the guy for being able to sing like he does AND play lead guitar like a freakin wizard at the same time. I saw him do a concert on t.v. recently and he was jumpin around and going crazy like he was 20. Alot of artists tend to just not care when they get older but he put on a great performance. I would love to really see him concert.
Green River has to be my favorite.
"Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things I love,
Stoppin at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancin in the moonlight.
I can hear the bullfrog callin me.
Wonder if my ropes still hangin to the tree.
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water.
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back to your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across green river.
Welllllll!
Up at codys camp I spent my days, oh,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
. old cody, junior took me over,
Said, youre gonna find the world is smouldrin.
And if you get lost come on home to green river.
Welllllll!
Come on home."
what amazing lyrics. any kid like me who has grown up near a river can relate to the song.
