Tearin' Up The Country Lyrics - Creedence Clearwater Revival

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.
