Sellout Lyrics
Sellout - Adam Sanders
Lyrics by:Zach Crowell/Adam Sanders/Josh Kear
Composed by:Zach Crowell/Adam Sanders/Josh Kear
He could hear his daddy in the old farm house
In a circle full of lawyers tryna buy him out
They waved a seven figure check for his red dirt ground
He just looked 'em in the eyes said
Get the hell out
On the steps of that porch his arms around his boy
Watched the cadillac drive away
Said listen to 'em yell listen to 'em scream
Listen to 'em stompin' on this crazy dream
Ain't no man or money gonna set you free
If you only learn one thing
Always stand for somethin'
Or you'll fall for any d**n thing no doubt
Boy don't you ever be no sellout
Barely twenty years old guitar in his hand
Sittin' across the desk from a record man
Come on in sit down
Put a cigarette out said we'll make you a star
Alright kid we're gonna change your look
We're gonna change your name
We're gonna change everything about who you are
You just trust me
Sir I hate to waste your time can't sign on that line
Heard his daddy's voice in his head
Said listen to 'em yell listen to 'em scream
Listen to 'em stompin' on this crazy dream
Ain't no man or money gonna set you free
If you only learn one thing
Always stand for somethin'
Or you'll fall for any d**n thing no doubt
Boy don't you ever be no sellout
Now he's walkin' that tunnel he can hear the crowd
And night after night he never gets tired of that sound
Mic check one two here we go again
Check check one one check three
He says a little prayer when the house lights dim
Straps on his guitar looks up through the dark
Says daddy we've come so far
Listen to 'em yell listen to 'em scream
Listen to 'em goin' wild for this crazy dream
I remember everything you ever taught me
Wish you were here to hear me sing
Always stand for somethin'
Or you'll fall for any d**n thing no doubt
Man I know wherever you are you'd be so proud
'Cause you I never sold out
But tonight it's a sellout
