You Can Have the Crown
by
Sturgill Simpson
Hold onto your hats because Sturgill Simpson delivers an anthem for the creatively broke and fame-adjacent. 🎸 Our protagonist is stuck in a whirlwind of weed, pills, and elusive song royalties while brainstorming questionable financial plans—like robbing banks. With the pressure of baby talk and a Bronco running on fumes, the struggle is hilariously real. He prays for a record deal that won't just feed his belly, but maybe even help him rhyme something with "Bronco." While perched atop "Shit Mountain," he cheekily offers his dubious crown to anyone willing to take it. This tune is a bluesy wink at the trials of chasing dreams in a world that doesn't pay its aspiring kings. #StrugglingArtist #SongsOfDesperation #DreamOn
