(J.C. Fogerty)

It's just a thought

But I've noticed somethin' strange,
Gettin' harder to explain;
All the years are passin' bye and bye,

Still I don't know what makes it go;
Who said to wait and you'll see?


It's just a thought
But I wondered if you knew
That the song up there is you.

They can't take it from you
If you don't give it away;
Don't give it away; Ooh (It's given away.)


It's just a thought
But the word has come too late

That a bad idea will take
Just about a lifetime to explain,
And don't you see,

Good one's gonna be much longer;
Who's gonna wait, just to see?
