Creedence Clearwater Revival: Someday Never Comes

Creedence Clearwater Revival
Someday Never Comes
Mardi Gras


Lyrics:

First thing I remember was askin' papa, "Why?",
For there were many things I didn't know.
And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
Sayin', "Someday you'll understand."

CHORUS:
Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, "Someday" Never Comes."

Well, 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."

CHORUS

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,
Sayin' "Someday you'll understand."

CHORUS

Think it was September, the year I went away,
For there were many things I didn't know.
And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man;
I said, "Someday you'll understand."

CHORUS

Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm....

This will always be my favorite Creedence song, and has been since the moment I heard it. Im only 23, so CCR was one of the many bands passed down to me from my dad. As a kid he'd show me one band at a time and give me their entire discography. I remember as I listened through CCR's I knew a lot of the songs, everyone as amazing as the last. Then I heard "Someday Never Comes"... I cant explain it but its one of those rare songs that induces a goose-bump trance lasting for 50+ consecutive replays

I started listening to CCR when I was 7 years old. I had the yellow cassette which was live in California. I have been listening to them ever since. 10 years hard to believe now, but this song I have only really discovered lately, I love it soo much I love their music soo much. It is what really keeps me going lately.
