Cover art for Long As I Can See The Light lyrics by Creedence Clearwater Revival

trying to explain the past, through Todays preception is a useless waste of your time. this song is about a time long gone, back when young men, men in general wandered in search of being, love, acceptence. he can't commit to this girl because 'he has that ol rammbling bone' meaning he's going to move on to the next anyways, but- will be back as long as he can see the light, from her candle in the window. dont over think rock and roll..in fact- think outside the box. a lot of these easy written tunes form 60s 70s were just that, easy written tunes from that period. sometimes songs mean nothing than whats written. over anylizing rock and roll is s joke in and of its self.

My Opinion
