Gumball Machine - Cotton Pickin Kids

[@cottonpickinkids]

(Lyrics) ⬇ Verse One: Could've bought me a ring from a gumball machine, even twenty-five cents from you would mean the world to me, could've bought a house in the middle of nowhere, had little me's running everywhere, but you had to mess it all up. Chorus: what would you do if i said yes to a man that wasn't you what would you do if i moved on with my life and you weren't even in it i'll be walking down the aisle with my father to my right but you won't be the one waiting to say i do if so what would you do... oh what would you do... Verse Two: how would it feel when your sorry's mean nothing anymore begging for another chance when i'm already out the door and every time you hear them bells it'll remind you that i'm gone and swell. Oh well Chorus: what would you do if i said yes to a man that wasn't you what would you do if i moved on with my life and you weren't even in it i'll be walking down the aisle with my father to my right but you won't be the one waiting to say i do if so, what would you do... oh, what would you do... bridge: well, he'll buy me a ring from a gumball machine just to be cute, then hold up that big diamond ring we'll live happily ever after have a world to live just the both of us oh what do you think Chorus: what would you do if i said yes to a man that wasn't you what would you do if i moved on with my life and you weren't even in it i'll be walking down the aisle with my father to my right but you won't be the one waiting to say i do if so what would you do... oh what would you do... End: could've bought me a ring from a gumball machine

You’re really good but YOUR BAND NAME IS COMPLETELY RACIST. It’s bad. You must change your name. Please. It’s cringy.

[@mls6176]

You need a new band name that’s not so racisttt. Lady Antebellum changed her band name bc it was racist too. You can’t continue with that name. Seriously. It’s grotesque.

[@mls6176]

Seriously. You will not succeed with such a grossly racist band name. It’s awful. It’s terrible. It’s horrifying.

[@oneschool100]

Awesome love y,all

[@mls6176]

You’re really good except for your band name. “The expression ‘out of your cotton-picking mind’ is no longer deemed an acceptable description of a person in the USA. In April 2018 a white commentator (Brian Davis) said in a broadcast commentary of a basketball game that a black player (Russell Westbrook) was ‘out of his cotton-picking mind’. The perceived racist connotations caused an uproar of protest. Davis, while claiming that the remark was unintentional, apologised, describing the comment as insensitive and a lapse of judgement. Davis was suspended from his position with the broadcaster.”

Just came across this from a Jim Pankey banjo video. Really enjoyed the song. Y'all make a great sound together. Keeping bluegrass alive and fresh. I really hope you all grow at the same rate, experience gratitude and humility from one another, and enjoy the music more than the fame. You have a new listener!

What a fantastic song...!!! Intriguing melody...great lyrics....well performed.....this deserves to be a hit!

I’ve been watching for over a year. This song represents your possibilities. It’s a masterpiece. A song that’s been in the air for centuries, only to have you pull it out of the sky. I wish you great things but most of all, peace and love as a family. I downloaded this and will play it for my wife. I’ll Keep watching.

[@markbaehr3246]

The Cotton Pickin Kids is the best bluegrass band in a long time! Thérèse, a real superstar, not only wrote this song - "Gumball Machine" - but as the lead singer, she sings it beautifully! Despite her youth, her voice is phenomenal! She reminds me of Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn - two all-time greats in country music. Thérèse's voice and the ease with which she sings reminds me of what one music industry giant once told Patsy Cline, "I don't think you realize how good your voice really is!" This song has "Major Hit" written all over it and I expect it to take the Cotton Pickin Kids to worldwide fame! Your group is ready to appear on America's Got Talent next year in 2025! Best of luck, kids, because with your talent you deserve it!
