I Love Creedence

I'm Creedence Clearwater Wright Best friend of Elodie Eye. We've been tight since Percy Elementary Class 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 & Split our ballgowns at the seams & 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 & They fell fast in love of course I swear it felt like a divorce This September I'll be 26 years old & 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 & Did I mention I moved out I got my own place off of South & I've been living hand to mouth For going on a year by now & 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 & 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
