Sellout

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
