The Transplant Song

Ive been a transplant too
Anyway as Im not mad at you
But I get compared to all of you
makin a thousand bucks a day
My heads all wrong to live here any longer anyway

I should have been born in North California
Northern California fifty wintertimes ago

I am moving away from the place I am from
Cause I don't like to squeeze where I dont fit in.
Its my birthright to stay but Im leaving anyway
North country take me in.

My mother is always telling me that I don't work enough.
"You don't work enough" she says, but it isnt true.
It just burns me up to think she thinks
that I don't work enough.
No one can see the kind of work I do.

Im a native in a stranger land,
there is a stranger in my box of sand.
I would gladly accept him extending my hand,
he looks at me,
he doesnt understand.

I am moving away from the place I am from
Cause I don't like to squeeze where I dont fit in.
Its my birthright to stay but Im leaving anyway
North country take me in.
North country take me in.

North country take me in.
