LYRICS
Entitlement only leads to disappointment
Because you can't never hang on too long to anything
They've given him a microphone and a song to sing
He's saying big old words, and he don't know what they mean
You can't place a crown on the head of a clown
And then a'hope he turns out to be a king

Competition only comes with a fine line
And jealousy only seems to bring me down
Well I was never trying to be the queen
I just take a lot of pride in who I am, the way I sing
You can't place a crown on the head of a clown
And then a'hope he turns out to be a king

I believe in doing it right
Taking your time
Staying true to who are
Fight the good fight
Keep those harmonies tight
And maybe tuning your guitar
I'm trying my best to get it off my chest
I know some of y'all know what I mean
When I say you can't place a crown on the head of a clown
And then a'hope he turns out to be a king

I just know you can't place a crown on the head of a clown
And then a'hope he turns out to be a king

With four critically-acclaimed albums under her belt, Kelsey Waldon has forged a strong presence in the Country and Americana scene. Her uncut lyricism and natural country sensibility recall her upbringing in Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky. After moving to Nashville, she cultivated a loyal following through frequent touring across the U.S. and two critically acclaimed albums. Her persistence paid off when, on stage at the Grand Ole Opry, John Prine invited Kelsey to join his Oh Boy Records family. In 2019, Kelsey released White Noise / White Lines on Prine's Oh Boy Records. An unflinching work that details Waldon's life, hopes, and pains, the album earned her a nomination for the Emerging Act of the Year Award at the 2020 Americana Awards.
