Lookin' for a Reason Lyrics
Chorus:
I’m lookin’ for a reason to stay.
I’m all wound up and tied in knots today.
I’m lookin’ for a reason not to go.
When the morning comes, I’ll be on my way.
Ev’ry night I ask myself again
Just what it was that made our dream begin.
It seemed like a good idea way back then.
But I’m wond’rin’ now what daydream took me in.
Chorus
Yesterday I tried once more to find
A way to share the trouble on my mind.
It seems like you turn away ev’ry time.
I used to like it here, I can’t remember why.

This song has NOTHING to do with drugs. It's Fogerty's lament about his crumbling band.
A very straight county song from CCR - and it doesn't quite work. The boys don't sound very enthusiastic about it and the playing seems a little sloppy.
Oh, and this song is about drugs. Specifically the morning after a night of doing drugs. Looking for a reason to stay - looking for drugs. Time to leave and find some more.
