A Candid peak into some aspects of being a working musician.
Status Quo (My Definition) - The political and social ideas of a mass group of people in a specific region and given time period. People who "prescribe" to or take actions accordingly, due to the belief that these constructed idea's are facts. Therefore, fail to look at these ideas critically , thus deeming things either accepted or unacceptable based on the consensus of the mass group.
lyrics
Well this road I'm on is going to turn me red
I ain't ever been in love like this
The truth could hurt you like the ripest switch
All I know is I can handle it
If I told you once it's been a thousand times
No, you ain't going to brake this heart of mine
All this love you swear so hard to find
Is going to be right here, going to be right here
I'm a 3rd generation family music man
It don't pay for me to live like that
Neither hell, high water, or a heart attack
Could ever stop me now, could ever stop me now
See I don't care what they think they know
I ain't ever been the status quo
They can turn their noses and they eat their crow
Stabbing it in the back
Aw, just to live like that
Reaping what they sow
Damn right
Believe it
Well, this road I'm on is going to turn me red
I ain't ever been in love like this
The road keeps calling and the skin it itch
All I know is I could handle it
