That`s Why I Sing This Way Lyrics

My momma 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 listening 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 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
See momma used to whoop me with a George Jones album
that's why I sing this way

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 thru 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 momma used to
whoop 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 what I am today
You see momma
used to whoop me with a George Jones album that's why I sing this way
Momma
used to whoop me with a George Jones album that's why I sing this way
