Folk Song

from Road Trip by Amanda McCarthy

/

lyrics

I'm sick of writing pop songs, I'm sick of trying to be
Something that feels so wrong as profit can be seen
I'm so sick of competing for a trophy title life
I'm not a Type A personality with a superficial mind

(Chorus)
I think I'll write a folk song, it's not that catchy
It's not marketable, it's not about anything
It may not win a Grammy, it may not ever count
But it means something to me
I guess that's what it's all about

I'm sick of writing rock songs that aren't given a chance
I don't have the right body or the right part in my pants
I'll never be on Warped Tour even though I'd love to be
But I'm just another chick with a guitar
Who won't be taken seriously

(Chorus)

You can't fit me in a box
I'm not a one girl kinda show
And I refuse to be something I'm not
I wanna wear my Converse, and my SnapBack
And my flower dress all at once
I don't know what I'm doing, but at least I'm having fun

I think I'll write a folk song, it won't go viral
But I can't lose myself again
It's time to check my vitals

(Chorus)
