Kenny Ray Horton: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

What an awesome priviledge to get to record this tune! One of the artists that I grew up listening to, Richard Marx, co-wrote and first released this song. To get to do my own, approved version with one of the writers producing it was just awesome. I am a truly lucky guy to get the opportunities that I have had in my life. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I loved recording it!

VERSE 1
Welcome to the bigtime
You're bound to be a star
Even if you don't go all the way
I know that you'll go far
This race is for rats and
It can turn you up-side-down
Ain't no one you can count on
In this sleazy little town
Lots of promises in the dark
Don't you open your heart

CHORUS
Don't mean nothin -
These words that they say
Don't mean nothin -
These games that people play
Don't mean nothin -
No victim no crime
Don't mean nothin -
Til you sign it on the dotted line

VERSE 2
The producer says
Let me change a line or two
A little bit of something
Can look awfully good to you
You wanna scream
But you keep it all inside
When you're trying to make a livin,
There ain't no such thing as pride
Take a good look around and you'll find
People trying to mess with your mind

Verse 3
This old town can be so lonely,
Make you the winner of a losing fight
The party is never over,
The stars are always shining
Doesn't matter if it's day or night
