《That’s Why I Sing This Way》歌词

[00:00:09] My Momma used to tell me Son you better get your work done

[00:00:13] Your Daddy's coming home at five

[00:00:16] And if you ain't all through with the chores you gotta do

[00:00:20] Boy I'm gonna tan you alive

[00:00:23] I was glued to the radio listening to my hero

[00:00:26] Singing them sad old songs

[00:00:30] Singing them sadder than a one car funeral

[00:00:33] Nobody sings like Jones

[00:00:38] I'd take that old kitchen broom up to my room

[00:00:42] And I'd play it like an old guitar

[00:00:45] Or sit out on the porch trying to sing like George

[00:00:49] Dreaming of becoming a star

[00:00:51] Well things I never did when I was just a kid

[00:00:55] Made me what I am today

[00:00:58] You see Momma used to whoop me with a George Jones album

[00:01:02] That's why I sing this way

[00:01:16] So I ended up in Nashville working at a saw mill

[00:01:20] Just to be close to the stars

[00:01:22] I got a little broke but I couldn't ask my folks

[00:01:26] So I had to hock my old guitar

[00:01:29] I still hang around tootsie's orchid lounge thinking

[00:01:33] He'll walk through that door

[00:01:36] But a voice in my mind says You wasting your time

[00:01:39] 'Cause George don't drink no more

[00:01:44] I'd take that old kitchen broom up to my room

[00:01:48] And I'd play it like an old guitar

[00:01:51] Or sit out on the porch trying to sing like George

[00:01:55] Dreaming of becoming a star

[00:01:57] Well things I never did when I was just a kid

[00:02:01] Made me what I am today

[00:02:04] You see Momma used to whoop me with a George Jones album

[00:02:08] That's why I sing this way

[00:02:23] Well things I never did when I was just a kid

[00:02:28] Made me what I am today

[00:02:31] You see Momma used to whoop me with a George Jones album

[00:02:35] That's why I sing this way

[00:02:39] Momma used to whoop me with a George Jones album

[00:02:42] That's why I sing this way
