???? Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
737 coming out of the sky
Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride?

[Chorus]
I want to move
Playing in a travelin' band
Yeah!
Well, I'm flying across the land, trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelin' band
[Verse 2]
Take me to the hotel, baggage gone, oh well
Come on, come on, won't you get me to my room?

[Chorus]
I want to move
Playing in a travelin' band
Yeah!
Well, I'm flying across the land, trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelin' band

[Verse 3]
Listen to the radio talking about the last show
Someone got excited, had to call the state militia

[Chorus]
I want to move
Playing in a travelin' band
Yeah!
Well, I'm flying across the land, trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelin' band
Wow!

[Verse 4]
Here we come again on a Saturday night
With your fussing and your fighting, won't you get me to the right?

[Chorus]
I want to move
Playing in a travelin' band
Yeah!
Well I'm flying across the land trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelin' band
Wow!

[Guitar solo]

[Outro]
Oh! I'm playing in a travelin' band
Playing in a travelin' band
Won't you get me, take me hand
Well, I'm playing in a travelin' band
Well, I'm flying 'cross the land
Trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelin' band
Wow!

Hey

???? Song Info:

"Travelin' Band" is a song written by John Fogerty and originally recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival. It was included on their 1970 album Cosmo's Factory. Backed with "Who'll Stop the Rain", it was one of three double sided singles from that album to reach the top five on the U.S. Pop Singles Chart and the first of two to reach the number 2 spot on the American charts, alongside "Lookin' Out My Back Door", in which they were unable to interrupt the six-week run of the successful number one, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel. "Travelin' Band" was also a hit in the UK, reaching number eight on the UK Singles Chart.

Creedence Clearwater Revival (often known as "CCR") were an American rock band, active 1967–1972, formed by John Fogerty (Vocals And Guitar), Tom Fogerty (Rhythm Guitar), Stu Cook (Bass), and Doug "Cosmo" Clifford (Drums). Despite being from Berkeley, California, the band's music usually invoked imagery of the American South.

John Fogerty, Stu Cook, and Doug Clifford initially joined forces in 1959 as The Blue Velvets and later backed John's older brother, Tom, as Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets. The group later changed their name to the Golliwogs and released several unsuccessful singles. In 1967, they changed their name to Creedence Clearwater Revival and John Fogerty took total control of the group. CCR was extremely prolific, releasing 6 albums and various singles between 1968 and 1970. However, the other members of the band chafed under John Fogerty's domination and in 1971 it was announced that Tom Fogerty had left the band. CCR made one more album, 1972's "Mardi Gras", as a trio. In the wake of Tom's departure, John, responding the other members' requests to have more say in band matters, stipulated that both Cook and Clifford had to contribute equally to the writing and recording. The album was poorly received and CCR subsequently split.

In the years following their split, the animosities between John and the other members grew. When the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 1993, John infamously barred Cook and Clifford from the stage (Tom had passed away in 1990). In 1995, Cook and Clifford formed Creedence Clearwater Revisited.
