#89 Travelin’ Band (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
737 comin’ out of the sky
Won’t you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I wanna move
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Yeah
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band🪄
Take me to the hotel, baggage gone, oh well
Come on, come on, won’t you get me to my room
I wanna move
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Yeah
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band🪄
Listen to the radio talkin’ ’bout the last show
Someone got excited, had to call the state militia
Wanna move
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Yeah
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Oh wow🪄
Here we come again on a saturday night
With your fussin’ and your fightin’, won’t you get me to the ride?
I wanna move
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Yeah
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Oh wow🪄
Oh, I’m playin’ in a travelin’ band
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Won’t you come and take my hand?
Well, I’m playin’ in a travelin’ band
I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Oh wow
Hey

#73 Up Around The Bend (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
There’s a place up ahead and I’m going
Just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away, if you’re going
Leave the sinking ship behind🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Ooh🪄
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo
Better get while the getting’s good
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway
Where the neons turn to wood🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Ooh🪄
You can ponder perpetual motion
Fix your mind on a crystal day
Always time for a good conversation
There’s an ear for what you say🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Yeah🪄
Ooh🪄
Catch a ride to the end of the highway
And we’ll meet by the big red tree
There’s a place up ahead and I’m going
Come along, come along with me🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Yeah🪄
Do-do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do
Do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do
Yeah
Do-do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do

#35 Lookin’ Out My Back Door (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I’m singin’
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door🪄
There’s a giant doin’ cartwheels, a statue wearin’ high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn
Dinosaur Victrola, listenin’ to Buck Owens
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door🪄
Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band
Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Doot, doo doo
Wondrous apparition, provided by magician
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band
Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Doot, doo doo
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door🪄
Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door

#31 Green River (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Well, take me back down where cool water flow, y’all
Let me remember things I love, Lord
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, aw
Wonder if my rope’s still hangin’ to the tree, aw
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoofly, dragonfly, get back to mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River
Well!🪄
Up at Cody’s camp I spent my days, Lord
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
Old Cody Junior took me over
Said, “You’re gonna find the world is smoulderin’
And if you get lost come on home to Green River.”🪄
Well!
Come on home

#24 Bad Moon Rising (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I see the bad moon a-risin’
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin’
I see bad times today🪄
Don’t go around tonight
Well it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise🪄
I hear hurricanes a-blowin’
I know the end is comin’ soon
I fear rivers over flowin’
I hear the voice of rage and ruin🪄
Don’t go around tonight
Well it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise, alright🪄
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye🪄
Well don’t go around tonight
Well it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise🪄
Don’t come around tonight
Well it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

#19 Proud Mary (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Left a good job in the city
Workin’ for the man ev’ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin’
Worryin’ ’bout the way things might have been🪄
Big wheel keep on turnin’
Proud Mary keep on burnin’
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river🪄
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of ‘pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
‘Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen🪄
Big wheel keep on turnin’
Proud Mary keep on burnin’
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river🪄
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river🪄
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don’t have to worry ’cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give🪄
Big wheel keep on turnin’
Proud Mary keep on burnin’
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river🪄
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river
