    I'm Creedence Clearwater Wright
    best friend of Elodie Eye
    we've 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 grandmother's money when she died

    we laughed like we were queens
    & split our ballgowns at the seams
    & every single time I'd dream
    it was only El & me
    but then she slipped away from me
    she met a boy from New Jersey
    & they fell fast in love of course
    I swear it felt like a divorce

    this September I'll be 26 years old
    & El's the only one besides my dad
    who's ever said I love you Creedence

    took got a job downtown
    it's an hour on the bus each way
    typing letters for a lawyer in a bad toupee
    it's dumb I know but it pays okay

    & did I mention I moved out
    I got my own place off of South
    & I've been living hand to mouth
    for going on a year by now
    & yes I still see El around
    it's different but I can't say how
    she cut her hair it's back to brown
    she's living with her boyfriend now

    & since September I've been 26 years old
    she's still the only one besides my dad
    who's ever said I love you Creedence
