John Fogerty

So immediately, I had kept this little songbook that's only about that big with titles in it.

And I go flipping through the book, and I think I see something that's somewhere down the road.

Okay, that for some reason appealed to me, and I stuck with it.

Okay, that's what it's called.

This song is going to be somewhere down the road.

And that day, so now I turn on my tape recorder and all that.

I play some, because I had to play real drums then.

That's what took me so long, folks.

Anyway, so I make a little thing that's just the riff and then make a space of just the drums playing and nothing else so I can kind of listen to it and improvise what's going on after this riff.

What's somewhere down the road?

And of course, I start talking about he get the thunder from the mountain, he bring the lightning from the sky, you know, and all that.

And these things are going on.

And so you got to shoot forward probably a few weeks.

I realize I'm starting to write a song, but...

The title somewhere down the road to me just seems lame.

It seems undefined, not cool enough, not focused, and probably not going to remember it because it sounds like just what it is.

You won't remember that, right?

You know, if you say, I've got a polka dot Chevy sitting on top of a

Bull Moose or whatever.

And that's your title.
