Tearin' Up The Country

Playin' a pavilion on the outskirts of town, Playin' where my roller derby rolls. Just a part time music man, a nobody at the plant, I'm tearin' up the country with a song. Mom and papa told me "son, you gotta go to school; Only way to make the fam'ly proud." I paid no attention, left my books at home, Rather play my music real loud. Tearin' up the country with a song. Tearin' up the country with a song. I paid no attention, left my books at home, Rather play my music real loud. Play it loud, now! woo! Tearin' up the country with a song. Tearin' up the country with a song. I paid no attention, left my books at home, Rather play my music real loud. Ran into a dry spell, seemed nowhere to go. Good luck turned the tide, I'm on my way. I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot, You know I could still be there, but I'm not. Tearin' up the country with a song. Tearin' up the country with a song. I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot, You know I could still be there, but I'm not. Tearin' up the country with a song. I'm tearin' up the country with a song. I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot, You know I could still be there, but I'm not. --- Tearin' Up the Country - Creedence Clearwater Revival
