Creedence were such a great musical band. Lyrically, this song is a mishmash of terms, sounds and words that happened to fit the melody without any real meaning behind them. Michael Stipe did the same thing for most of REMs career. Any meaning given to them is purely personal and unintended at all by Fogerty himself. As long as people find its 'meaning', that's good enough in the end
