| [00:03.350] | Now this is a true story, for the most part |
| [00:06.830] | That occurred on the top floor |
| [00:08.090] | Of this bigwig record executive's office in Nashville, Tennessee |
| [00:12.320] | Now understand, I'm not poking any fun or disrespecting anybody |
| [00:16.120] | God knows I love country music with all my heart and soul |
| [00:19.440] | And I love the Grand Ole Opry |
| [00:21.540] | But I do have a problem with someone |
| [00:23.050] | Who can't even play a D chord on a guitar |
| [00:25.550] | Telling someone with a dream that they won't get far |
| [00:28.790] | So this song is dedicated to all those underdogs |
| [00:31.330] | Like me out there, runnin' around |
| [00:33.940] | Don't get discouraged if you have a dream |
| [00:36.040] | Don't be afraid to chase it down |
| [00:38.190] | This is how it goes |
| [00:39.340] | He said, "Son, don't get offended by what I'm about to say |
| [00:44.840] | I can see you have a passion |
| [00:47.510] | For the songs you write and play |
| [00:50.160] | But you lack what we all call commercial appeal |
| [00:54.770] | And you just don't have what it takes |
| [00:57.500] | To make it here in Nashville" |
| [01:03.330] | Ouch |
| [01:06.050] | Well, my heart felt like a train wreck |
| [01:08.860] | But I wore a smile on my face |
| [01:11.310] | I said, "Thank you for your time, sir" |
| [01:13.950] | Put my guitar back in its case |
| [01:17.080] | Our little conversation was like a revelation |
| [01:19.830] | Redirecting my dreams |
| [01:21.560] | 'Cause God knows I'd never sell my soul to rock and roll |
| [01:24.390] | Or rap or wear those tight skinny jeans |
| [01:29.180] | 'Cause you know I'd rather sing my own songs |
| [01:32.230] | Than be a puppet on a string |
| [01:34.910] | I'll wear what I want to wear |
| [01:37.350] | I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing |
| [01:39.830] | Heaven knows all I need |
| [01:42.510] | Is my faith, my fans, my friends, and my family |
| [01:49.960] | Besides, I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas |
| [01:54.200] | Than the king of Tennessee |
| [02:01.050] | So I loaded up my ol' pickup truck |
| [02:03.730] | And I drove back home to Amarillo |
| [02:06.380] | Got a gig off old route 66 |
| [02:08.950] | At this ballroom called The Armadillo |
| [02:11.620] | And for the first thousand shows or so |
| [02:14.910] | Not a soul showed up |
| [02:16.850] | I thought about quitting every other day |
| [02:19.510] | But I just kept on kicking that cup |
| [02:24.960] | Yeah, I kept kicking that can, surrounded by |
| [02:28.160] | Blood, sweat, and beers |
| [02:30.290] | And wouldn't you know, I became an overnight sensation |
| [02:33.320] | In just over ten years |
| [02:35.430] | And now I'm packing out all the dance halls |
| [02:38.070] | And the rodeos every night |
| [02:40.570] | I got a pretty wife, a ranch, a band, a bus, a boat |
| [02:44.000] | I'd say I'm doing alright |
| [02:47.920] | And you know I'd rather sing my own songs |
| [02:51.210] | Than be a puppet on a string |
| [02:53.840] | I'll wear what I want to wear |
| [02:56.320] | I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing |
| [02:58.770] | Heaven knows all I need |
| [03:01.400] | Is my faith, my fans, my friends, and my family |
| [03:08.890] | Besides, I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas |
| [03:13.170] | Than the king of Tennessee |
| [03:16.830] | Oh, how 'bout a little front porch picking, boys? |
| [03:51.710] | Well, wouldn't you know, that ol' record man |
| [03:54.080] | Showed up one night at this honky-tonking bar |
| [03:57.140] | After my show, he said |
| [03:58.370] | "Son, I believe you might be the next big country star" |
| [04:01.850] | He said, "We like how you keep it raw |
| [04:04.680] | We like how you're keeping it real |
| [04:07.160] | And I think you may just have what we all like to call |
| [04:10.670] | Commercial appeal" |
| [04:13.590] | Huh, ain't that something? |
| [04:16.500] | Well, sir |
| [04:17.720] | I'd rather sing my own songs |
| [04:20.380] | Than be a puppet on a string |
| [04:22.930] | I'll wear what I want to wear |
| [04:25.500] | And I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing |
| [04:27.910] | Heaven knows all I need |
| [04:30.620] | Is my faith, my fans, my friends, and my family |
| [04:37.980] | Besides, I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas |
| [04:42.270] | Than the king of Tennessee |
| [04:45.480] | God bless Tennessee |
| [04:48.170] | But I'd rather be just an old fence post in Texas |
| [04:54.170] | Than sell my soul to rock and roll |
| [04:56.640] | Or rap or wear those tight-fitting, tight skinny jeans |
