(S. Cook)
If maybe you'd move over,
Gave someone else a chance to try their luck;
Instead, you run up closer,
Try'n to grab a page before they close the book.
CHORUS:
It was over 'fore it started, seemed so long when we began
Hope you take it like a friend.
It's a shame to see you cryin', wouldn't think to way back when,
Looks like I'll never hear the end.
Thought you had the honor,
Took special pride in all your well laid plans.
Forgot about the others,
We moved out t'ward the light showin' empty hands.
CHORUS
Ah, put the boot down! Mm-hm!
Love to be the winner.
Gather up your chips in time to cash 'em in.
We're all lookin' thinner,
Playin' cards too close for either one to win.
CHORUS
Woa oh oh oh ...
It's a shame to see you cryin', wouldn't think to way back when,
Hope you take it like a friend.
Yeah eah eah eah...

Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) è stata una band californiana attiva tra la fine degli anni '60 e l'inizio degli anni '70, nota per il suo stile musicale definito come "swamp rock", un sottogenere del southern rock caratterizzato da sonorità bluesy e country. Il gruppo era guidato dal talentoso John Fogerty, che si occupava di composizione, voce e chitarra. CCR ha raggiunto il successo internazionale con una serie di successi tra il 1969 e il 1971, ottenendo nove singoli nella top ten delle classifiche americane. Tra i brani più famosi ricordiamo "Proud Mary", "Bad Moon Rising", "Green River" e "Fortunate Son". La band ha pubblicato sei album in studio di grande successo, tra cui "Bayou Country" (1969) e "Cosmo's Factory" (1970). Nonostante la breve durata della loro carriera, Creedence Clearwater Revival è considerata una delle band più influenti del rock americano, con un sound distintivo che ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella storia musicale.
