That'll Never Sell Records - Don Bowman[00:00:00]
I wrote the purtiest song in the world[00:00:12]
About this boy that loved this girl[00:00:14]
They fell in love and all that stuff[00:00:17]
Somehow that just wadn't enough[00:00:19]
Cause when I took it to RCA[00:00:22]
They listened a minute an' then I heard them say[00:00:24]
That'll never sell records mighty purty though[00:00:29]
But that serious stuff it ain't sellin' this year[00:00:35]
Write it over and then let us hear[00:00:38]
And them happy endings just gotta go[00:00:41]
Back to the drawing board I went[00:00:46]
Find more trouble them kids get in[00:00:48]
Then they decided to run off somewhere and wed[00:00:51]
The parents wanted them to wait instead[00:00:54]
But they eloped found a justice of peace[00:00:56]
They was sayin' I do and in walked the police[00:00:59]
They was underage so they told a lie[00:01:01]
Preacher he had to grab her and died[00:01:04]
Kids were taken back home to stay[00:01:07]
Then I took my song back to RCA[00:01:09]
That'll never sell records mighty purty though[00:01:14]
But that serious stuff it ain't sellin' this year[00:01:20]
Write it over and then let us hear[00:01:23]
And them happy endings just gotta go[00:01:25]
I was beginnin' to wonder if I could write a hit[00:01:30]
Thought I'd try once more before I quit[00:01:33]
This boy and girl they met in a bar[00:01:36]
Had a few drinks and then stole a car[00:01:38]
Didn't like each other they sure weren't in love[00:01:41]
But they sure were married when they sobered up[00:01:44]
So they got a divorce on the way back[00:01:46]
When the car stopped dead on the railroad tracks[00:01:49]
It was freezin' cold and he held her tighter[00:01:52]
Burned her arm on the cigarette lighter[00:01:55]
Temperature dropped to forty below[00:01:57]
Train was comin' with the final blow[00:02:00]
Looked like the end of a perfect day[00:02:02]
So I took my song back to RCA[00:02:05]
Now that'll sell records four million or so[00:02:09]
See that serious stuff ain't sellin' this year[00:02:15]
This true love junk's what they wanna hear[00:02:18]
And them happy endings just gotta go[00:02:21]
Movin' awful slow just ain't cuttin' it this year[00:02:26]
That hearts and flowers stuff[00:02:32]
Somebody don't get it[00:02:35]
