Lyrics
"Ambition"
Music/Lyrics by JK 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 man 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 rollin along
You got a box of old country cassettes you inherited from your mom
I'm partial to Waylon....and you're an Emmy Lou gal
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
