Lyrics

"Ambition"

Music/Lyrics: John Kelly Wilson

Verse
You and I've been together since Rodney Crowell released "Close Ties"
Riding in this van from town to town trying to keep our own music alive
Couple of country hippie types wearin recycled Nudie suits and bolo ties

Chorus
Ambition is the condition that keeps us tight
Fuels and motivates us gig to gig night to night
Playin music we love to rednecks tappin their feet
Keep telling each other it's just around the corner that we get our big break

Verse
People rave about your angel voice and the way I play guitar
Tell us darlin your music can't miss you're really gonna go far
Guess we're a couple of country superstars livin on beer and fast food
Tip jar tonight says we got enough to keep our vehicle refueled

Chorus
Ambition is the condition that keeps us tight
Fuels and motivates us gig to gig night to night
Playin music we love to rednecks tappin their feet
Keep telling each other it's just around the corner that we get our big break

Bridge
Draw attention to ourselves no matter how we sing our songs
Must be the chase for fame that keeps us rolling along
You got a box of old country cassettes you inherited from your mom
I am partial to Waylon.... you're an Emmy Lou gal

Verse
Cruise from town to town playin small dive bars
Pass Gram Parsons off as old school when we want to have fun
Slip in an original or two to see how they do
Hope after the show to sell a CD or two
See country music calls us....its just what we were born to do

Chorus
Ambition is the condition that keeps us tight
Fuels and motivates us gig to gig night to night
Playin music we love to rednecks tappin their feet
Keep telling each other it's just around the corner that we get our big break

Keep telling each other it's just around the corner that we get our big break
Keep telling each other it's just around the corner that we get our big break
