Lyrics
Rid Of It
Got rid of it Gone for good Didn't really want it in the neighborhood
Rid of it Gone at last Now it's just a memory from the past
Ch Gone but not forgotten Legacy of rotten
We're rid of it In the nick of time Keepin' it around would surely be a crime
Rid of it A fatal death blow Every one was so glad to see it go
[Ch]
Rid of it Hard to believe I can tell you none of us is gonna grieve.
Rid of it Finally gone Free from that flotsam time for movin' on.
[Ch]

So I tried to think what the subject of this song is… I decided it was a dead skunk in the middle of the road.

Yes! free yourself. I need this anthem for myself. Good strong beat. Good choice for the content.

Great beat, great voice, amazing attitude. Nice! What a fun tune and it's a joy to see "flotsam" in a song. Haha

Loving that gnarly guitar and the driving foot tap. It's got a full-on bustling attitude that's all about getting businesss done. Whatever it was you got rid of, I'm glad it's gone!

OMG I love this guitar! This is a great take on the prompt and so relatable. Damn that riff is SO GOOD.

Well, at least one someone could fit this description, The jangly guitars are great here and this is a very cool listen.
