Looking Out My Backdoor Lyrics
And Tutorial By Creedence Clearwater Revival

Below you'll find the Looking Out My Backdoor lyrics and my full version acoustic demo.

Another CCR song that seems to have been mis-interpreted. It was released in Jul 1970 and reached #2 on the charts but according to Fogerty, had nothing to do with drugs. Instead it was written for his son Josh, who was 3 at the time.

--- Start Of Looking 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 Im singin
Doo, doo, doo, lookin out my back door

Theres a giant doing cartwheels ... a statue wearin high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
A dinosaur victrola ... listening to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo, lookin out my back door

Tambourines and elephants ... are playing in the band
Wont you take a ride ... on the flyin spoon ... Doo, doo doo
Wondrous apparition ... provided by magician
Doo, doo, doo, lookin out my back door

BREAK

Tambourines and elephants ... are playing in the band
Wont you take a ride ... on the flyin spoon ... Doo, doo doo
Bother me tomorrow ... today I'll by no sorrow
Doo, doo, doo, lookin out my back door

Key Change

Forward troubles Illinois ... lock the front door oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
Bother me tomorrow ... today Ill buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo, lookin out my back door
