Reminds Me of You

"Reminds Me of You" is a song that was seriously fun to write and always fun to perform for an audience.

Dedications, anyone?

Reminds Me of You

--- words and music by Erin Friedman


Stuck in traffic, suckin’ up fumes
Turn on the TV – there’s nothin but bad news
Big wad of chewing gum stuck to my shoes
Reminds Me of You - Reminds Me of You

The pain in my head from a cheap Chardonnay
Debris in the street from the rodeo parade
Shaving my legs with a dull razor blade
Reminds Me of You -- Reminds Me of You


It’s not the sentimental things
Keep me from forgettin' you
It’s things that stink
Things that slink
Leave an ugly residue

The scum that I scrub from my shower floor
The spider that crawls in under the door
A shiny red apple bad to the core
Reminds Me of You -- Reminds Me of You

A screaming brat, stomping his feet
Cream in my coffee that expired last week
Ooze on the ground where the septic tank leaked
Reminds Me of You -- Reminds Me of You

It’s not the sentimental things
Keep me from forgettin' you
It’s things that stink
Things that slink
Leave an ugly residue

The smell of the breeze by the stockyard in June
A festering toothache, a hot-air balloon
Road kill remains of a mangy raccoon
Reminds Me of You -- Reminds Me of You
