Folk, some Blues and light Rock influences, as well as Country.
Hi! Welcome to my page. First off, I am primarily a lyricist who occasionally composes his own melodies. That's why you'll see/hear some cowritten songs here. Secondly; I can't sing, even if my life depended on it, so I've posted Studio Demos. Third; I listed my songs as "country, general" but I hope you'll find a little more variety here than what you expected. My hope is that you'll find these songs Very accessible; Songs you can sing along with, Songs you'll know by Heart. ENJOY!!!

Story behind the song
The factory that I work in has lost over 1800 jobs due to NAFTA and "down-sizing". Once you figure out that Curry Pike is a street name, this one's self-explanatory lol.
Lyrics
CURRY PIKE BLUES V1> I been workin’ in the factory, been workin’ all through the day Been workin’ in the factory, been workin’ all through the day I got the Curry pike blues and there ain’t much more to say V2> Hard to do your job when the bosses get in the way Hard to do your job when the bosses get in the way I got the Curry pike blues and there ain’t much more to say Bridge> Well I get in and I clock in go to work right away Sweat my Ass off just to earn my pay I got the Curry pike blues and there ain’t much more to say If I could find a better job I’d be leavin’ right away V3> They’re movin’ jobs to Mexico a place that’s far away They’re movin’ jobs to Mexico a place that’s far away I got the Curry pike blues and there ain’t much more to say V4> I’m a member of a Union and they want a bigger chunk of my pay I’m a member of a Union and they want a bigger chunk of my pay I got the Curry pike blues and there ain’t much more to say © 1996, Timothy D Brown
