《That’ll Never Sell Records》歌词

[00:00:00] That'll Never Sell Records - Don Bowman

[00:00:12] I wrote the purtiest song in the world

[00:00:14] About this boy that loved this girl

[00:00:17] They fell in love and all that stuff

[00:00:19] Somehow that just wadn't enough

[00:00:22] Cause when I took it to RCA

[00:00:24] They listened a minute an' then I heard them say

[00:00:29] That'll never sell records mighty purty though

[00:00:35] But that serious stuff it ain't sellin' this year

[00:00:38] Write it over and then let us hear

[00:00:41] And them happy endings just gotta go

[00:00:46] Back to the drawing board I went

[00:00:48] Find more trouble them kids get in

[00:00:51] Then they decided to run off somewhere and wed

[00:00:54] The parents wanted them to wait instead

[00:00:56] But they eloped found a justice of peace

[00:00:59] They was sayin' I do and in walked the police

[00:01:01] They was underage so they told a lie

[00:01:04] Preacher he had to grab her and died

[00:01:07] Kids were taken back home to stay

[00:01:09] Then I took my song back to RCA

[00:01:14] That'll never sell records mighty purty though

[00:01:20] But that serious stuff it ain't sellin' this year

[00:01:23] Write it over and then let us hear

[00:01:25] And them happy endings just gotta go

[00:01:30] I was beginnin' to wonder if I could write a hit

[00:01:33] Thought I'd try once more before I quit

[00:01:36] This boy and girl they met in a bar

[00:01:38] Had a few drinks and then stole a car

[00:01:41] Didn't like each other they sure weren't in love

[00:01:44] But they sure were married when they sobered up

[00:01:46] So they got a divorce on the way back

[00:01:49] When the car stopped dead on the railroad tracks

[00:01:52] It was freezin' cold and he held her tighter

[00:01:55] Burned her arm on the cigarette lighter

[00:01:57] Temperature dropped to forty below

[00:02:00] Train was comin' with the final blow

[00:02:02] Looked like the end of a perfect day

[00:02:05] So I took my song back to RCA

[00:02:09] Now that'll sell records four million or so

[00:02:15] See that serious stuff ain't sellin' this year

[00:02:18] This true love junk's what they wanna hear

[00:02:21] And them happy endings just gotta go

[00:02:26] Movin' awful slow just ain't cuttin' it this year

[00:02:32] That hearts and flowers stuff

[00:02:35] Somebody don't get it
