[00:00:00] Fence Post - Aaron Watson
[00:00:03] Now this is a true story for the most part
[00:00:06] That occurred on the top floor
[00:00:08] Of this bigwig record executive's
[00:00:09] Office in Nashville tennessee
[00:00:12] Now understand I'm not poking any fun
[00:00:14] Or disrespecting anybody
[00:00:16] God knows I love country music
[00:00:17] With all my heart and soul
[00:00:19] And I love the Grand ole opry
[00:00:21] But I do have a problem with someone
[00:00:23] Who can't even play a D chord on a guitar
[00:00:25] Telling someone with a dream that they won't get far
[00:00:29] So this song is dedicated to all those
[00:00:30] Underdogs like me out there running around
[00:00:34] Don't get discouraged if you have a dream
[00:00:36] Don't be afraid to chase it down
[00:00:38] It's how it goes
[00:00:39] He said Son don't get offended by what
[00:00:42] I'm about to say
[00:00:44] I can see you have a passion
[00:00:47] For the songs you write and play
[00:00:50] But you lack what we all call commercial appeal
[00:00:54] And you just don't have what it takes
[00:00:57] To make it here in nashville
[00:01:03] Ouch
[00:01:05] Well my heart felt like a train wreck
[00:01:08] But I wore a smile on my face
[00:01:11] I said Thank you for your time sir
[00:01:14] Put my guitar back in it's case
[00:01:17] Our little conversation was like a revelation
[00:01:19] Redirecting my dreams
[00:01:21] 'Cause god knows I'd never sell
[00:01:23] My soul to rock and roll or rap
[00:01:24] Or wear those tight skinny jeans
[00:01:29] 'Cause you know I'd rather sing my own songs
[00:01:32] Than be a puppet on a string
[00:01:35] I'll wear what I want to wear
[00:01:37] I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing
[00:01:40] Heaven knows all I need
[00:01:42] Is my faith my fans my friends and my family
[00:01:50] Besides I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas
[00:01:53] Than the king of tennessee
[00:02:01] So I loaded up my old pickup truck
[00:02:03] And I drove back home to Amarillo
[00:02:06] Got a gig off old route 66
[00:02:09] At this ballroom called the Armadillo
[00:02:11] And for the first thousand shows or so
[00:02:14] Not a soul showed up
[00:02:17] I thought about quitting every other day
[00:02:19] But I just kept on kicking that cup
[00:02:25] Yeah I kept kicking that can surrounded
[00:02:27] By blood sweat and beers
[00:02:30] And wouldn't you know
[00:02:31] I became an overnight sensation
[00:02:33] In just over ten years
[00:02:35] And now I'm packing out all the dance halls
[00:02:37] And the rodeos every night
[00:02:40] I got a pretty wife
[00:02:41] A ranch a band a bus a boat
[00:02:43] I'd say I'm doing alright
[00:02:48] And you know I'd rather sing my own songs
[00:02:51] Than be a puppet on a string
[00:02:53] I'll wear what I want to wear
[00:02:56] I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing
[00:02:58] Heaven knows all I need
[00:03:01] Is my faith my fans my friends and my family
[00:03:08] Besides I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas
[00:03:13] Than the king of Tennessee
[00:03:16] Oh how about a little front porch picking boys
[00:03:51] Well wouldn't you know that old record man
[00:03:54] Showed up one night at this honky tonking bar
[00:03:57] After my show he said
[00:03:58] Son I believe you might be the next big country star
[00:04:02] He said we like how you keep it raw
[00:04:04] We like how you keeping it real
[00:04:07] And I think you may just have
[00:04:08] What we all like to call commercial appeal
[00:04:13] Huh ain't that something
[00:04:16] Well sir
[00:04:18] I'd rather sing my own songs
[00:04:20] Than be a puppet on a string
[00:04:23] I'll wear what I want to wear
[00:04:25] And I'm gonna sing what I wanna sing
[00:04:27] Heaven knows all I need
[00:04:30] Is my faith my fans my friends and my family
[00:04:38] Besides I'd rather be an old fence post in Texas
[00:04:42] Than the king of tennessee
[00:04:45] God bless Tennessee
[00:04:48] But I'd rather be just an old fence post in Texas
[00:04:54] Than sell my soul to rock and roll or rap
[00:04:57] Or wear those tight fitting skinny jeans
