Gloomy Lyrics
any chance it's another anti-war number? 2nd verse sounds like it.
Maybe about depression / just feeling down......... like the psychedelic effects tho! Surprising for CCR

Sounds to me like he's talking about heroin addiction. The lyrics and the sound effects in the song point to that without really coming out and saying it - except for the "shoot" comment. Maybe Fogerty heard Velvet Underground's "Heroin" and got inspired.
I don't think you're right. Creedence Clearwater Revival have never made "drug songs". The bluesy sound of this song is inspired by John Fogerty's fantasies about "The Grand Old Southland" (Louisiana), just like the whole "Creedence Clearwater Revival"-album, or also the song Born On The Bayou.
