There’s a new TikTok trend featuring “Silverado For Sale” by Morgan Wallen…and it’s racking up millions of views.
Guys are showing off their trucks, then flashing a photo of their girlfriend. It’s wholesome, and very on brand for country.
The problem is the lyrics. The song is from Morgan’s 2021 album “Dangerous: The Double Album”, and it tells the story of a man selling his truck in the classifieds to buy an engagement ring. Right before the chorus, the real line is, “here’s what I want it to say.”
But TikTok has decided the lyric is, “here’s what I wanted to say.” That extra “ed” changes the meaning. Fans have started pointing out that the song is about what he’s about to do…not something he’s already done.
Maybe it’s such a small detail, that no one really cares if they’re wrong?
