I love this song, it's so happy. If I'm ever in a really bad mood, I'll listen to the CCR greatest hits CD... John Fogarty's voice has this really calming effect on me...
Anyway, no clue what this song is about, but I'm pretty sure it's NOT about drugs. Were you ever a child? Have you been around a child recently? Have you heard some of the crazywild stuff they can think up? It's a lot like this. Maybe something unpleasant happened in Illinois, and he wanted to forget, so he sat on his back porch (or looked out the back door) and drank a beer or something and pretended. Growups can pretend too. :-)
