I'm Creedence Clearwater Wright Best friend of Elodie Eye We've been tight since Percy Elementary Cla** of 1985 We moved together out to Philly after college Took a two bedroom at South & 9th I sold my violin so we could have it easy El got her grandmother's money when she died We laughed like we were queens And split our ballgowns at the seams And every single time I'd dream It was only El & me But then she slipped away from me She met a boy from New Jersey And they fell fast in love of course I swear it felt like a divorce This September I'll be 26 years old And El's the only one besides my dad
Who's ever said I love you Creedence Took got a job downtown It's an hour on the bus each way Typing letters for a lawyer in a bad toupee It's dumb I know but it pays okay And did I mention I moved out I got my own place off of South And I've been living hand to mouth For going on a year by now And yes I still see El around It's different but I can't say how She cut her hair it's back to brown She's living with her boyfriend now And since September I've been 26 years old She's still the only one besides my dad Who's ever said I love you Creedence
