lyrics

On the top of the fridge, my top-secret place
Where I stash all my treasure nothing else can replace
A jar of raspberry preserves, they come in the mail
From my hippie mother-in-law on the Oregon Trail

She been growing those berries back deep in the woods
When harvest time comes, she’s the gal with the goods
We take a zip-lock bag, drop a jar inside
Nothing hazardous or perishable, we ship nationwide
To the top of the fridge, the top of the fridge

On the top of the fridge, I keep my glasses and keys
Bills I haven’t paid for all my overdue fees
But the blue-ribbon winner in the old glass jar
Raspberry preserves for the way that I are

Every night around ten, maybe nine forty-five
I’m like a big brown bear getting in a beehive
I go Buzz-a-buzz-buzz, a-buzz-a-buzz-a-buzz-buzz
My doctor said it’s legal, ain’t afraid of the fuzz
On the top of the fridge, the top of the fridge

It’s where I mind my own business, where I clear out my head
Take my ugly thoughts, send them down on a sled
’Til they drain out one side, tumble way down low
To the bottom of the fridge, a place I don’t go
The bottom of the fridge, a place I don’t go

On my father’s old fridge, back to where it began
I’d get up on a stool and I’d check out my old man
I found raspberry preserves, like I’m having now
Never knew what I was knowing, never caught me no how

On the top of the fridge, the top of the fridge
To the top of the fridge
To the top of the fridge

“I started writing songs in my 30's and started finishing them in my 40's.” – Matt North

Raised on equal doses of Hee-Haw and Soul Train in Champaign, IL, North began as a neighborhood drummer jamming to Devo and Kiss albums in his garage. His father’s family were Scotch-Irish coal miners in Harlan County, KY. At 15, he worked at Farm Aid I picking up trash. He blames that day for pursuing music. ... more
