Name: Drive To November
Duration: P00H02M26S
Description: A fun little country number from my days with Armadillo Borealis. At the suggestion of my friend, Tom, I changed the lyrics a bunch to make it flow better.

lyrics

Drive To November © Brian Straub 8/17/01

I’m crazy as a rat in a coffee can
stubborn as them girls that I don’t understand
just a hypocrite like we all can be
looking for answers I still can’t see

I’m drunker than a skunk in a garbage can
so knocked down feelin’ not a man
or horny as a sailor on a two-day leave
or lonely as a widow and I wanna grieve

Chorus

And I’m tired of lies being fed to me
The ads online and on tv
I’m gonna drive this till the end November
when I get home, gonna sleep til September

I’m chasin’ my tail all over the room
sweatin’ and a shakin’ like a nervous groom
I can be real scared, think I’m all wrong
Or laugh so hard I hurt the whole day long

I can think so much that it hurts my head
Then run around town bein’ stupid instead
can’t think straight crazy as a loon
Like an old hillbilly howlin’ at the moon

Chorus

This is a home recording. Throwing my time and energy into making this record was an emotional breakthrough for me at a low point in my life, giving me drive and purpose. Braintwang
