Name: My Name Is John
Duration: P00H05M22S
Description: Written in Oregon and recorded in Clearwater, Fl. This song still finds its way into most of The Semis' sets. Not a fan fave live but def a band bonder. It's quicker on record and maybe a little less creepy.

Written in Oregon and recorded in Clearwater, Fl. This song still finds its way into most of The Semis' sets. Not a fan fave live but def a band bonder. It's quicker on record and maybe a little less creepy.

lyrics

This is an unsuitable life I'm living.
It's not even fit for the dingiest one of them all.
She likes me, she takes my money.
I guess that's why she calls me John.
But I know she needs it. I know she needs it.
When I pull up four on the floor,
I slid a couple of fins through the door,
I lay down my spiel, and prove to that whore
my name is john.
