Lyrics and music by Andru Bemis

lyrics

I don't like coffee chains, movie stores and aeroplanes I've gotta get out of this town. I don't like the way you drive you're pissed at me I'm goin' forty-five, just take the time and slow down.

If time is money, don't you think it's funny that he doesn't spend more with you? Mebbe time is money but I'd be a fool honey not to waste it all on you.

I don't like traffic jams, keep me out of them sardine cans. Just give me some fresh air. I really don't like your town, people always try to put me down just cause I don't cut my hair.

I don't like your gates, your guards, keep me outta your manicured yards. Just let me go where I please. Who died and made you king and where'd you find the diamond ring that makes you worth so much more than me.

I don't like your fancy cars driving down my boulevard telling me to get out of the way. I really don't like your town, people always try to put me down cause I don't do what you say.

If time is money don't you think it's funny that he doesn't spend more with you. Maybe time is money but I'd be a fool honey not to waste it all on you. If time is money don't you think it's funny that his job is more important than you. Maybe time is money but I'd be a fool honey not to waste it all on you.

Andru Bemis South Haven, Michigan

"Michigan's premier neo folk artist ... is a modern day train hopping, banjo slinging troubadour who has made a name for himself in small venues across the US. His charismatic live show garners (accurate) comparisons to Arlo and Woody.” (ThisIsHappening - photo credit: Jack Hirschorn) ... more
