Well, take me back down where cool water flow, y'all
Let me remember things I love
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite
Walkin' along the river road at night
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight

I can hear the bullfrog callin' me
I wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to your mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River
Well

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days now
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
Old Cody Junior took me over
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smoldering
If you get lost, come on home to Green River"
Well

Thank you
Thank you very much and good evening
We're Creedence Clearwater Revisited (hahaha)
We got a lot of music for you tonight
This next song is about a town Doug and I thought we'd never get out of
