"Mansion In Branson" lyrics

"Mansion In Branson"

Well his record label told him we don't need you anymore
Now our consultants say you're not what folks are lookin'
And we can't get your records on young country radio
Why you're too outta' shape for Wranglers an too old for video

Well they tore up his contract yeah they ripped it page by page
As he walked out they ushered in a young man half his age
Why he felt low down an useless as they sent him on his way
But they'll never know the favor that they did for him that day

He's building a mansion over in Branson
And the folks are clapping louder than they ever did before
He's building a mansion over in Branson
Well Nashville eat your heart out he don't need you anymore

Well he use to ride his custom coach 300 days a year
But now he just drives up the street to personally appear
Why he's got his own theater his own record label too
And now he's a gettin' 99 percent instead of 2

He's building a mansion over in Branson
And the crowds are cheering louder than they ever did before
He's building a mansion over in Branson
Well Nashville eat your heart out he don't need you anymore

Nashville eat your heart out he don't need you anymore
