Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Ccr (Creedence Clearwater Revival) or about the 1970s in general.

It’s just a thought
But I’ve noticed somethin’ strange,
Gettin’ harder to explain;
All the years are passin’ by and by,
Still I don’t know what makes it go;
Who said to wait and you’ll see?

It’s just a thought
But I wondered if you knew
That the song up there is you.
They can’t take it from you
If you don’t give it away;
Don’t give it away; Ooh (It’s given away.)

It’s just a thought
But the word has come too late
That a bad idea will take
Just about a lifetime to explain,
And don’t you see,
Good one’s gonna be much longer;
Who’s gonna wait, just to see?
