[Verse 1] 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
[Chorus] Said, "Listen to me 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 damn thing, no doubt Boy, don't you ever be no sellout"
[Verse 2] Barely twenty years old, guitar in his hand Sittin' across the desk from a record man (Come on in here, sit down, let me talk to you for a minute) 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
[Chorus] Sayin', "Listen to me yell, listen to 'em scream Listen to 'em stompin' on the old 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 damn thing, no doubt Boy, don't you ever be no sellout"
[Bridge] 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, two, check, check, three, three, check) 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"
[Chorus] Listen to me 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 damn thing, no doubt Man, I know wherever you are, you'd be so proud 'Cause you know I never sold out But tonight, it's a sell-outTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
