That's Why I Sing This Way

In the style of

Daryle Singletary

Lyrics

my mama
used to tell me son
you better get
your work done
your daddy's
comin' home at five

and if you ain't
all through
with the chores
you gotta do
boy i'm gonna
tan you alive

i was glued
to the radio
listenin' to my hero
singin' them
sad old songs

singin' 'em
sadder than
a one-car funeral
nobody sings
like jones

i'd take that
old kitchen broom
up to my room
and i'd play it
like an old guitar

or sit out
on the porch
tryin' to sing
like george
dreaming of
becoming a star

well things
i never did
when i was just a kid
made me
what i am today

you see
mama used to
whup me with a
george jones album
that's why i sing
this way

so i ended up
in nashville
workin' at a sawmill
just to be close
to the stars

i got a little broke
but i couldn't
ask my folks
so i had to hock
my old guitar

i still hang around
tootsie's
orchid lounge
thinkin' he'll
walk through
that door

but a voice
in my mind said
you're wastin'
your time
'cause george
don't drink
no more

i used to take
that old broom
up to my room
and i'd play it
like an old guitar

or sit out
on the porch
tryin' to sing
like george
dreaming of
becoming a star

well things
i never did
when i was just a kid
made me
what i am today

you see
mama used to
whup me with a
george jones album
that's why i sing
this way

well things
i never did
when i was just a kid
made me
what i am today

you see
mama used to
whup me with a
george jones album
that's why i sing
this way

mama used to
whup me with a
george jones album
that's why i sing
this way
