From the recording Rich In Time
A slacker-folk rebellion against overbearing bosses, parental expectations, rigid social norms, and wasted lives. In the new American Dream, the coveted 9 to 5 stability is replaced with an obsession for building your own life and doing what you love, thriving on passion and hustle while achieving all your wildest dreams - on your own terms.
JPATF’s first single since their JUNO and CFMA nominated 2nd album, Rich in time is a modern folk anthem for millennial entrepreneurs and slackers alike. With a laid-back country bounce and one simple message: Do what you love and you’ll always be Rich In Time!

"RICH IN TIME"
Lyrics and Music © Gareth Auden-Hole [SOCAN]
I don't want to work from 9 to 5
Come home from the job just to waste my mind
I don't need nobody trying to run my life
I do what I love, I'm gonna be just fine
I'm gonna be alright
Well my daddy punches in every morning at 9
He steps up to take his place on the factory line
Sandwich in a bag, trading money for time
But you ain't gonna catch me workin' on that line
cuz I don't want to work from 9 to 5
Come home from the job just to waste my mind
I don't need nobody trying to run my life
I do what I love, I'm gonna be just fine
I'm gonna be alright
When daddy gets home mama's ready with a beer
but my friends would never say the house was full of cheer
She'd pop one for herself and get a meal on the fry
Then it's TV on the couch. Waiting for the next line.
So I don't want to work from 9 to 5
Come home from the job just to waste my mind
I don't need nobody trying to run my life
I do what I love, I'm gonna be just fine
I'm gonna be alright
But sometimes I wonder…
Would it be alright?
Would it be just fine?
Wouldn't it be nice to trade money for time?
But I…
I'd rather be rich in time
I'd rather be rich in time
I'd rather be rich in time
I'd rather be rich in time
cuz I do what I love, I'm gonna be just fine
