Up Around The Bend Creedence Clearwater Revival Music & Lyrics : J.C. Fogerty There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' Just as fast as my feet can fly Come away, come away if you're goin', Leave the sinkin' ship behind. CHORUS: Come on the risin' wind, We're goin' up around the bend. Ooh! Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, Better get while the gettin's good, Hitch a ride to the end of the highway Where the neons turn to wood. [CHORUS] Ooh! You can ponder perpetual motion, Fix your mind on a crystal day, Always time for a good conversation, There's an ear for what you say. [CHORUS] Yeah! Ooh! Catch a ride to the end of the highway And we'll meet by the big red tree, There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' Come along, come along with me. [CHORUS] Yeah!
