Im Creedence Clearwater Wright Best friend of Elodie Eye Weve been tight since Percy Elementary Class of 1985 We moved together out to Philly after college Took a two bedroom at South 9th I sold my violin so we could have it easy El got her grandmothers money when she died We laughed like we were queens And split our ballgowns at the seams And every single time Id dream It was only El me But then she slipped away from me She met a boy from New Jersey And they fell fast in love of course I swear it felt like a divorce This September Ill be 26 years old And Els the only one besides my dad Whos ever said I love you Creedence Took got a job downtown Its an hour on the bus each way Typing letters for a lawyer in a bad toupee Its dumb I know but it pays okay And did I mention I moved out I got my own place off of South And Ive been living hand to mouth For going on a year by now And yes I still see El around Its different but I cant say how She cut her hair its back to brown Shes living with her boyfriend now And since September Ive been 26 years old Shes still the only one besides my dad Whos ever said I love you Creedence
