    This song was written for all the artists and music business folks who have expressed their frustrations to me throughout the years with the business of backroom star making. I tried to capture what they've talked about and hopefully gave credit to their argument against Back Room Deals and how it's not good for the industry! This song is for Dan, Greg, Ron, etc..etc..etc..

    Lyrics
    Back Room Deals
    Lyrics by Doug Adkins / Music by Gerd “Blues” Vogel



    Aeeee!....Well I got somthin' to say...That's right......

    We never got one of those back room deals
    So we had to make our music on our own
    Ya every time we showed em songs
    They just look at us like we was crazy, or we was stoned
    They'd tell us.......You can't sell that stuff here
    You might as well pack your things.......an go back home

    Sure does seem lately, mostly what I'm hearin' sounds the same
    Another cat in Wrangler jeans, Stetson hat
    Sometimes payin'....to play this game
    Another back room deal.....to make another star
    2 years down the road.....You won't recall his name

    So I set out searchin' for the soul of country music
    An I tell ya, these boys, they didn't grow up in Tennessee
    Waylon Jennings, you know we miss ya,.....
    cause you'd be right here beside us
    You'd say, "rebels gotta stick together, cause these backroom deals,
    ain't what the music needs"

    Well I got something to say!

    Well you back room boys think you're pretty smart...
    .....tellin me how..... I oughta fix my songs
    An if I would.....I could get a deal.....
    Well maybe there's too much fixin' goin' on
    If you find ya like what we're doin' here.....
    Maybe we can find a way...to get along

    So I set out searchin' for the soul of country music
    An I tell ya, these boys, they didn't grow up in Tennessee
    Waylon Jennings, you know we miss ya,.....
    cause you'd be right here beside us
    You'd say, "we rebels gotta stick together, cause these backroom deals,
    ain't what the music needs"
    Ya I spend my life singin' and playin' country music
    And it ain't only..... in the hills of Tennessee
    When ya like what we're doin'.......well, you know where to find us
    Any little bar, in the sticks, where cats like us still live
    ........And sometimes play for free!

    .Aeeee!.....Well that's all I got to say!.....That's right!
