Aaron Watson - Fence Post lyrics

rate me

He said some don’t get offended

By what I’m about to say

I could see you have a passion

For the songs you write and play

But you like what we all call

Commercial appeal, you just don’t have what it takes

To make it here in Nashville

Well my heart feels like a train wreck

But I wear a smile on my face

I said thank you for your time Sir

I out my guitar back in its case

Our little conversation was like a revelation

Redirecting my dreams

Cause God knows I never sold my soul

To those tight skinny jeans

I ‘m gonna wear what I want to wear

And I’m gonna sing what I want to sing

Heaven knows all I need is my faith, my fans, my friends and my family

Besides I’d rather be an old fence post in Texas

So I loaded up my pick-up truck

And I drove back to _____

And this ball room called me

And I keep on kicking that cup

Blood sweating,beers

And I became a night sensation in just over 10 years

And now I’ve packed every dance halls

And rodeo every night

I got a pretty wife

I’m saying I’m doing alright

I ‘m gonna wear what I want to wear

And I’m gonna sing what I want to sing

Heaven knows all I need is my faith, my fans, my friends and my family

Besides I’d rather be an old fence post in Texas

Instrumental

Well what do you know

This record man showed at one_____

After my show he said

Son I think you’ll be the next country star

He said we like it how you keep it wrong

Now you keeping it real

And I think you have what we all use to call

Commercial appeal

I ‘m gonna wear what I want to wear

And I’m gonna sing what I want to sing

Heaven knows all I need is my faith, my fans, my friends and my family

Besides I’d rather be an old fence post in Texas

Heaven knows all I need is my faith, my fans, my friends and my family

Besides I’d rather be an old fence post in Texas
