According to Fogerty, the melody was based on the Rockin' Rebels' 1962 song "Wild Weekend." Fogerty stated "I don't think of it as stealing—more a case of honoring…I'm a sucker for that sound."

centerfield

.

I’ve been afraid to play baseball

since I got hit in the face when I was a boy

I didn’t know how to play

we lost because I didn’t catch the ball

headed towards me

everyone booed me & only then I understood

I runined it for those invested

later, a sore loser punched me in the face

I didn’t deserve it

but I caught it anyway

lesson learned

these days Im just grateful

to catch whatever fates curveball pitch
