Creedence Clearwater Revival - Porterville Lyrics

Creedence Clearwater Revival Lyrics

"Porterville"

It's been an awful long time since I been home
But you won't catch me goin' back down there alone
Things they said when I was young
Are quite enough to get me hung

I don't care! I don't care!

They came and took my dad away to serve some time
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind
Folks said I was full of sin
Because I was the next of kin

I don't care! I don't care!

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
I don't care! I don't care!

Folks were out one night to put me up a fence
And you can guess that I've been runnin' ever since
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help
And I'll keep on, I tell myself

I don't care! I don't care!

I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!

Ain't no one that's 'bout to help
But I'll keep on, I tell myself
(I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!)

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
(I don't care! I don't care!)
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
(I don't care! I don't care!

I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!)
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
(I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!)
