Rich Men North Of Richmond

Rich Men North Of Richmond

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for BS pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is!


Meet the young man who wrote and recorded the tune.

I've been seeing him incessantly on every news channel, either in a positive light, or a negative one, depending on the channel.
He was even part of the presidential debate.

     I notice he has no southern dialect  when speaking in a normal conversation .  I know times are changing and the South is getting flooded with carpet baggers ,but  a strange accent still makes my   southern  ears perk up  with suspicion.

Well, he hit the YouTube at just the right time I guess, but I honestly can't understand most of what he's saying. Likely my old ears. Its a good song I guess but I'm not a bluegrass fan.

Listened to his song, and it's pretty much spot on. And read an interview he gave, after his song was played at the debate. He went higher up my totem pole, when he said. They played my song, but evidently don't realize, the people on that stage are the ones the song is about. It's not about Republicans or Democrats, it's about ALL of the BS that's going on in DC. Kuddos Sir!!

The lyrics might be interesting if that's your thing, but the music didn't do it for me.
