Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR)-Porterville Lyrics

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,

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!

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

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