(John Prine)
When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
There's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn
And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the green river
To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill
And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
When I die let my ashes float down the green river
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
I'll be halfway to heaven with paradise waiting
Just five miles away from wherever I am
And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay?
Well, I'm sorry my son but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
John Cameron Fogerty (born January 28, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer, best known as the frontman and primary songwriter for the rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. Born in Berkeley, California, Fogerty began playing guitar at age ten, influenced by the rock and roll of the 1950s and American folk music. In 1967, he formed Creedence Clearwater Revival with his brother Tom (drums), Stu Cook (bass), and Doug Clifford (percussion). The band achieved international success in the 1970s with a sound characterized by bluesy riffs, evocative lyrics about rural American life, and a strong folk-rock influence. Among their most famous hits are "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Fortunate Son", and "Green River", songs that helped define the aesthetics of American rock in the 1970s. After the dissolution of Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1972, Fogerty embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as "Centerfield" (1985) and "Blue Moon Swamp" (1997). In 2019, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
