(WISH I COULD) HIDEAWAY
Creedence Clearwater Revival

Howdy, friend, beggin' your pardon,
Is there somethin' on your mind?
You've gone and sold all your belongings,
Is that something in your eye?

Well, I know you really never
Liked the way it all goes down;
Go on, Hideaway.

What's that you say?
We're all bound for the graveyard;
Oooh, I wish you well.
Think it's gonna rain,
Oh, what's the diff'rence,
Is there some way I can help?

'Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh, Lord,
Wish I Could Hideaway

Hold on, give yourself a chance,
I can hear the leavin' train.

All aboard! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Oooh, I wish you well.
See you soon, maybe tomorrow.
You never can tell;

"Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you
When you're gone, oh,
Wish I could Hideaway

Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway.
Hideaway, hideaway,
Hideaway, hideaway.

I see the bad moon rising

I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightnin'

I see bad times today

Don't go 'round tonight

It's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a blowin'

I know the end is commin' soon

I fear rivers over flowing

I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Hope you got your things together

Hope you are quite prepared to die

Looks like we'er in for nasty weather

One eye is taken for an eye

I see the bad moon rising

I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightnin'

I see bad times today

Don't go 'round tonight

It's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a blowin'

I know the end is commin' soon

I fear rivers over flowing

I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Hope you got your things together

Hope you are quite prepared to die

Looks like we'er in for nasty weather

One eye is taken for an eye

I see the bad moon rising

I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightnin'

I see bad times today

Don't go 'round tonight

It's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a blowin'

I know the end is commin' soon

I fear rivers over flowing

I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Hope you got your things together

Hope you are quite prepared to die

I fear rivers over flowing

I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Hope you got your things together

Hope you are quite prepared to die

Looks like we'er in for nasty weather

One eye is taken for an eye

I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
All right!

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

Better you grab it when she ain't lookin',
'Cause you know you'd rather have it on the run.

Do what he done to me."

Chasin' down a hoodoo there.

Another number where mine used to be.

Saw an empty glass; you said it's full.
Lord, it's so hot, then you come on cool, cool.

Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door,
So much goin' on I just can't hear.

CHORUS

Hurryin' to get there so you save some time.
Run, run, run, run, run.
Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home,
Worry 'bout the time you save, save.

CHORUS

Traffic in the city turns my head around.
No, no, no, no, no.
Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church,
Ev'rywhere you look there's a frown, frown.

CHORUS:
Com, commotion,
Git, git, git, gone.
Com, commotion,
Git, git, git, gone.

People keep atalkin', they don't say a word.
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw.
Talk up in the White House, talk up to your door,

Run, run, run, run, run.
Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home,
Worry 'bout the time you save, save.

Rushing to the treadmill, rushing to get home,

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

You can't pick very much cotton

I went down to the station
Just to take a ride.
I went down to the station
Just to take a ride.
Found myself on a flat-car
Yesterday behind.

Pullin' out from the platform,
There was no brass band.
I pulled out from the platform;
Nobody raised a hand.
And there were no tears of regret
From my runaway train,
Train, train, train, train.

Got no sand in my pocket,
You know, I ain't tied down.
Ain't no sand in my pocket,
Never do sit down.
I'm just a cross-tie walker
Where the freight trains run,
Run, run, run, run.

If you see me a-comin',
Don't you waste my time.
If you see me a-comin',
Don't you waste my time.
'Cause there's more miles between us
Than the Santa Fe Line.
Run, run, run, run.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm...

Find me out a-walkin',
Time the whistle starts a-callin',
Maybe stoppin' early,
Knockin' at your door.
Take so long to answer,
Lord knows, it ain't the milkman
Could be stoppin' early,
Sellin' door to door.

Here's my latest sample;
Like to show you how to use it.
First, you pull the curtain
While I spread some here.
Wipe the surface gently,
Try to use a circle motion,
Safe for all your problems
And my price is fair.

This stuff'll get the stain out
If you use it loosely wadded;
This here'll take the pain out
And won't mess your hair.
Place your order early,
'Cause you know, I'm in a hurry.
Your neighbor's in her doorway,
Won't you sign right here?

Place your order early,
'Cause you know, I'm in a hurry.
Your neighbor's in her doorway,
Won't you sign right here?

Man is on the last train,
All that work and no play,
Could be stoppin' early,
Knockin' at your door.
Time for me to head on,
Pack my kit and "So long,"
Catch you bright and early
Sellin' door to door.

This stuff'll get the stain out
If you use it loosely wadded;
This here'll take the pain out
And won't mess your hair.
Place your order early,
'Cause you know, I'm in a hurry.
Your neighbor's in her doorway,
Won't you sign right here?

Come on and place your order early,
You know, I'm in a hurry.
Your neighbor's in her doorway,
Won't you, won't you, won't you, won't you?

Place your order early,
'Cause you know, I'm in a hurry.
Your neighbor's in her doorway,
Won't you?

Come on, come on, come on, come on
And place your order early,
You know, I'm in a hurry.
Your neighbor's in her doorway,
Won't you...

Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.

Some people cry alone.
Some people talk without sayin' a thing,
And ev'rything turns out gloomy.

Some people count your money;
Someone is countin' your days.

When ev'rything turns out gloomy.

Brothers'll make you look sideways;
Fathers'll make you look back.
And when you're done talking, you still got to shoot,
'Cause ev'rything turns out gloomy.

Ooh-ooh-ooh!
Ooh-ooh-ooh!

Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm,
I know; It's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day,
I know; Shinin' down like water.

CHORUS:
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before, Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; Been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; It can't stop, I wonder.

Yeah!

I said 'Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart,
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart.'

Passed me by one sunny day, flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oo I wanted you forever more
I'm not one that gets around, swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before

I said 'Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart,
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart.'

Saw your lips I heard your voice, believe me I just had no choice,
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away.
Thought about a moonlit night, my arms around you good an' tight,
That's all I had to see for me to say.
