Thread Name: Misheard CCR 'Forward troubles Illinois'
Subject: Misheard CCR 'Forward troubles Illinois'
Lookin' Out my Back Door - Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cosmo's Factory, 1970Sure, this is a psychedelic song, but 'forward troubles' makes no sense at all. I've listened/watched the video over and over and it doesn't seem like he has a hard consonant at the end of the (presumed) word 'forward'. Hundreds of lyrics sites say the same thing, but mistakes often wind up being propogated, e.g., "there's a bathroom on the right".

Can some one clear this up and, maybe explain it?

Also, I think it should be "bide" not "buy"
