Lyrics for singles by John Fogerty

Centerfield

Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today
We're born again, there's new grass on the field
Roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel

{Refrain}
Oh, put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be center field

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the bench
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Case struck out
So Say Hey Willie, Taylor Cobb and Joe DiMaggio
Don't say it ain't so" you know the time is now

{Refrain}
Oh, put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Put me in, coach - I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be center field

Yeah! I got it, I got it

Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye

Rock And Roll Girls

Sometimes I think life is just a rodeo:
The trick is to ride and make it to the bell

But there is a place sweet as you will ever know
In music and love and things you never tell

You see it in their face
Secrets on the telephone
A time out of time
For you and no one else

Hey let's go
All over the world
Rock and roll girls
Rock and roll girls

If I had my way, I'd shuffle off to Buffalo
Sit by the lake and watch the world go by

Ladies in the sun listenin' to the radio
Like flowers on the sand a rainbow in my mind

Old Man Down The Road

He take the thunder from the mountain
He take the lightning from the sky
He bring the strong man to his bended knee
He make the young girls mama cry

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump and run
You got to hidey hidey-hide
The old man's down the road

He got the voices speakin' riddles
He got the eye as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
And he stand right in the road

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump and run away
You got to hidey hidey-hide
The old man's down the road

He make the river call your lover
He make the barking of the hound
Put the shadow across the window
When the old man comes around

You got to hidey-hide
You got to jump and run again
You got to hidey hidey-hide
The old man's down the road

The old man is down the road
The old man is down the road

Rockin All Over The World

Well, here we are and here we are and here we go.
Water born and we're hittin' the road.
Here we go rockin' all over the world.

A giddy-up, a giddy-up and get away,
we're going crazy and we're going today.
Here we go rockin' all over the world.

And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it,
I li-li-like it, li-li-like it,
here we go rockin' all over the world.

solo

I'm gonna tell your mama what you gonna do,
come on out with your dancing shoes.
Here we go rockin' all over the world.

And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it,
I li-li-like it, li-li-like it,
here we go rockin' all over the world
