John Fogerty - Lookin' Out My Back Door Lyrics






Just got home from Illinois,
Lock the front door, oh, boy!
Got to sit down,
Take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in,
Pretty soon I'm singin'.
Doo, doo, doo,
Lookin' out my back door.

There's a giant doing cartwheels,
A statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy
Creatures dancing on the lawn.
A Dinosaur Victrola
List'ning to Buck Owens.
Doo, doo, doo,
Lookin' out my back door.

Tambourines and elephants
Are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo-doo.
Wond'rous apparition
Provided by magician.
Doo, doo, doo,
Lookin' out my back door.

Tambourines and elephants
Are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo-doo.
Bother me tomorrow,
Today I'll buy no sorrows.
Doo, doo, doo,
Lookin' out my back door.

Forward troubles Illinois,
Lock the front door, oh, boy!
Look at all the happy
Creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow,
Today I'll buy no sorrows.
Doo, doo, doo,
Lookin' out my back door.

    They were on LSD when they made this song and if you pay attention you can actually pin point when it hit them. They also didn’t practice this song. That say they just grabbed their instruments and started playing

  4. R.... G....

    There was a rumor on why he was so Happy, after returning home, he received information from the Selective Service that he had fulfilled his Military Obligations 🇺🇸💃🏻🇺🇸

  5. a.... ....

    Another international #10 hit, from 1970. Released with 'Long As I Can See The Light', as a double side single. Reached #2 in the US & #1 on the AUSTRALIAN charts. From the sensational COSMO'S FACTORY album
