Midnight Special - Creedence Clearwater Revival

[Colorado Doug]

Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sittin' in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman sing a song

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just-a 5'9, beautiful, tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all

I saw her heading to the table Like a tall walking big black cat When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy 'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at Then suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run A-jumping out of doors and tables When I heard somebody shootin' a gun Well the DA was pumping my left hand Well the DA was pumping my left handWell the DA was pumping my left hand

And a-she was a-holding my right Well I told her don't get scared 'Cause you're gonna be spared I've gotta be forgivin' if I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9 beautiful tall Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Had it all Had it all

In looking up LCWBD I came across this:

Radar Love- Golden Earing

OK, speeding tickets may be a push as far as 'crime' goes, I'll give you that. But I post this because: first the song is great! and the audience in this video has to be the worse I have ever seen!

Check out the bored teeny boppers and the very pissed off dad (visible just past the drummer shots from the year).
