Fence Post - Aaron Watson[00:00:00]

Now this is a true story for the most part[00:00:03]

That occurred on the top floor[00:00:06]

Of this bigwig record executive's[00:00:08]

Office in Nashville tennessee[00:00:09]

Now understand I'm not poking any fun[00:00:12]

Or disrespecting anybody[00:00:14]

God knows I love country music[00:00:16]

With all my heart and soul[00:00:17]

And I love the Grand ole opry[00:00:19]

But I do have a problem with someone[00:00:21]

Who can't even play a D chord on a guitar[00:00:23]

Telling someone with a dream that they won't get far[00:00:25]

So this song is dedicated to all those[00:00:29]

Underdogs like me out there running around[00:00:30]

Don't get discouraged if you have a dream[00:00:34]

Don't be afraid to chase it down[00:00:36]

It's how it goes[00:00:38]

He said Son don't get offended by what[00:00:39]

I'm about to say[00:00:42]

I can see you have a passion[00:00:44]

For the songs you write and play[00:00:47]

But you lack what we all call commercial appeal[00:00:50]

And you just don't have what it takes[00:00:54]

To make it here in nashville[00:00:57]

Ouch[00:01:03]

Well my heart felt like a train wreck[00:01:05]

But I wore a smile on my face[00:01:08]

I said Thank you for your time sir[00:01:11]

Put my guitar back in it's case[00:01:14]

Our little conversation was like a revelation[00:01:17]

Redirecting my dreams[00:01:19]

'Cause god knows I'd never sell[00:01:21]

My soul to rock and roll or rap[00:01:23]

Or wear those tight skinny jeans[00:01:24]

'Cause you know I'd rather sing my own songs[00:01:29]

Than be a puppet on a string[00:01:32]

I'll wear what I want to wear[00:01:35]

I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing[00:01:37]

Heaven knows all I need[00:01:40]

Is my faith my fans my friends and my family[00:01:42]

Besides I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas[00:01:50]

Than the king of tennessee[00:01:53]

So I loaded up my old pickup truck[00:02:01]

And I drove back home to Amarillo[00:02:03]

Got a gig off old route 66[00:02:06]

At this ballroom called the Armadillo[00:02:09]

And for the first thousand shows or so[00:02:11]

Not a soul showed up[00:02:14]

I thought about quitting every other day[00:02:17]

But I just kept on kicking that cup[00:02:19]

Yeah I kept kicking that can surrounded[00:02:25]

By blood sweat and beers[00:02:27]

And wouldn't you know[00:02:30]

I became an overnight sensation[00:02:31]

In just over ten years[00:02:33]

And now I'm packing out all the dance halls[00:02:35]

And the rodeos every night[00:02:37]

I got a pretty wife[00:02:40]

A ranch a band a bus a boat[00:02:41]

I'd say I'm doing alright[00:02:43]

And you know I'd rather sing my own songs[00:02:48]

Than be a puppet on a string[00:02:51]

I'll wear what I want to wear[00:02:53]

I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing[00:02:56]

Heaven knows all I need[00:02:58]

Is my faith my fans my friends and my family[00:03:01]

Besides I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas[00:03:08]

Than the king of Tennessee[00:03:13]

Oh how about a little front porch picking boys[00:03:16]

Well wouldn't you know that old record man[00:03:51]

Showed up one night at this honky tonking bar[00:03:54]

After my show he said[00:03:57]

Son I believe you might be the next big country star[00:03:58]

He said we like how you keep it raw[00:04:02]

We like how you keeping it real[00:04:04]

And I think you may just have[00:04:07]

What we all like to call commercial appeal[00:04:08]

Huh ain't that something[00:04:13]

Well sir[00:04:16]

I'd rather sing my own songs[00:04:18]

Than be a puppet on a string[00:04:20]

I'll wear what I want to wear[00:04:23]

And I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing[00:04:25]

Heaven knows all I need[00:04:27]

Is my faith my fans my friends and my family[00:04:30]

Besides I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas[00:04:38]

Than the king of tennessee[00:04:42]

God bless Tennessee[00:04:45]

But I'd rather be just an old fence post in Texas[00:04:48]

Than sell my soul to rock and roll or rap[00:04:54]

Or wear those tight fitting skinny jeans[00:04:57]
