Artist picture
Chris Jay Becker is an American singer-songwriter whose music has been compared to Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt and Johnny Cash.
I'm Chris Jay Becker. I'm a singer-songwriter and guitar-thumper with the occasional foray into mandolin, blues harp, and slide guitar. My songs mix rock, country, folk, the blues, and gospel. You could call it Alternative Country, Acoustic Rock, or Roots Rock. Think John Mellencamp, Steve Earle, or acoustic Springsteen. I hope you like these songs. They're lo-fi acoustic demos, but I think they're pretty good songs.lke

Story behind the song
This song is for everybody who ever said of their hometown,"This town is lame." This song is specifically about my girlfriend Cheryl.
Lyrics
SICK OF THIS TOWN I. My baby loves to speak Spanish/ when she's in Old Madrid /watching French pigeons fly away/ down the Champ Elysee/ just like she once did/ my baby danced at fiestas/ in Monterrey, Mexico/ but all those days have gone away/ cause now she's back in the States/ watching the stoplights glow. Chorus My baby's sick of this town/ she's so sick of this town/ she's sick of driving around/ watching the grass turn brown/ she's sick of this town. II. My baby loves to get emails/ from travel companies/ she wants caribbean views/ and if she pays for one cruise/ she'll get the second for free/ my baby's playing the lotto/ she's sure that she's gonna win/ and if she hits it one day/ she'll catch a plane and fly away/ I'll never see her again! Chorus 2 Because she's sick of this town/ she's so sick of this town/ she's sick of driving around/ watching her life turn brown/ she's sick of this town.
