"Porterville (John's Version)" lyrics - JOHN FOGERTY

Been an awful long time since I been home
But you won't catch me going 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)

[Refrain:]
Ooh
(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 running 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)

[Refrain:]
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care

[Outro:]
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
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
