That's Why I Sing This Way 가사

My mama used to tell me son you better get your work done your daddy's coming home at five And if you ain't all thru with the chores you gotta do boy I'm gonna tan you alive I was glued to the radio listenin' to my hero singing those sad old songs Singing them 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 dreamin' of becoming a star Well things I never did when I was just a kid made me what I am today See mama used to whoop me with a George Jones album that's why I sing this way [ guitar ] So I ended up in Nashville working at a saw mill 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 thinking he'll walk through that door But a voice in my mind says you wasting your time cause George don't drink no more I used to take that old broom up to my room and I played it like an old guitar Or sit out on the porch trying to sing like George dreaming of becoming a star Well things I never did when I was just a kid made what I am today You see mama used to whoop me with a George Jones album that's why I sing this way [ harmonica - fiddle ] Well things I never did when I was just a kid made me what I am today You see mama used to whoop me with a George Jones album that's why I sing this way Mama used to whoop me with a George Jones album that's why I sing this way
