Singer/songwriter of acoustic & country music.
I am a singer songwriter but mostly a songwriter. I write country music and play at writer's nights in Nashville, Tennssee. I have been writing since I was in High School in 1978. I have written over 400 songs over the years and try to write songs about real life that have a little depth and meaning instead of the usual fluff heard on most radio stations.

Story behind the song
After watching a marathoon of the Andy Griffith show I wrote this. I get tired of the fast paced life that surrounds me and long for the lifestyle like Mayberry. If only they had all the electronic equipment we have!
Lyrics
I wanna live in Mayberry 5:10 stuck in traffic again I’m feelin dizzy breathin car fumes in Diggin for the cookie in my take out Chinese My fortune reads; seek for simple things As my cell phones rings, pager goes off too I need to make this fortune come true Chorus: I wanna live in Mayberry With Andy and a one bullet deputy Pay two bits for a haircut or a gallon of gas Take my girl to the Friday night dance Breathe the air in black and white Have Aunt Bee’s homemade apple pie Send my mail labeled RFD I wanna live in Mayberry Two hundred channels of nothing worth watchin on TV We pick the best from the worst or watch golden oldies That’s how it goes in this day and age Livin in towns where neighbors don’t wave If this is progress, then I’ll have to pass I’d rather see those good days come back Chorus: repeat Chorus: repeat Ó ross/lasky/zimmerman
