Daryle Singletary That's Why I Sing This Way

Capo on 2nd

A E

My momma used to tell me son you better get your work done you’re daddy’s comin home at five

A

And if you ain’t all through with the chores you gotta do, boy I’m gonna skin you alive

D

I was glued to the radio listening to my hero’s sing them sad old songs

A E A

Just a singin ‘em sadder than one car funeral nobody sings like Jones

Chorus:

D A

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

B E

Or sit out on the porch trying to sing like George dream about becoming a star

A D

Yeah the things I never did when I was just a kid made me what I am today

A E A

You see momma used to whip me with a George Jones album that’s why I sing, this way.

A E

So I ended up in Nashville working at a sawmill just to be close to stars

A

But I got a little broke but I couldn’t ask my folks so I had to hock my old guitar

D

Well I still hang around Tooties Orchid Lounge thinkin he’ll walk through that door

A E A

But a voice in my mind said your wastin’ time see George don’t drink no more.

2nd Chorus:

D A

I still take that old kitchen broom, up to my room and play it like an old guitar

B E

Or sit out on the porch trying to sing like George, and dream about becoming a star

A D

Yeah the things I never did when I was just a kid made me what I am today.

A E A

You see momma used to whip me with a George Jones album that’s why I sing, this way

D A E A

Yeah my momma used to whip me with a George Jones album that’s why I sing, this way.
