"Someday Never Comes" lyrics
"Someday Never Comes"
First thing I remember, was asking papa "Why?"
For there were many things I didn't know
And Daddy always smiled, took me by the hand
Saying, "Someday you'll understand"
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
The time and tears went by, and I collected dust
For there were many things I didn't know
When Daddy went away, he said "Try to be a man
And someday you'll understand"
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there
For there were many things I didn't know
A son was born to me, mama held his hand
Saying "Someday you'll understand"
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
Ooh, someday never comes
Think it was September, the year I went away
For there were many things I didn't know
And I still see him standing, tryin' to be a man
I said, "Someday you'll understand"
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
Ooh someday never comes
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Hmm-mm-mm-mm

The last single released by the band. Its B-side was Doug Clifford's "Tearin' Up The Country".
John Fogerty explained, "My parents divorced when I was young and I ended up divorcing from my first wife. The song is basically me talking about how it happened to me when I was young and here I go doing the same damn thing."
The background story of this song was told by John Fogerty: "When my dad left me, he told me to be a man and someday I would understand everything. Now, I'm here basically repeating the same thing really. I had a son in 1966 and I went away when he was five years old or so and again told him someday he would understand everything."
