That's Why I Sing This Way Lyrics - Daryle Singletary

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 through with the chores you gotta do 

Boy, I'm gonna tan you alive" 

I was glued to the radio, listening to my hero 

Singing them 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 me what I am today 

You 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 through that door 

But a voice in my mind says, "You wasting your time 

'Cause George don't drink no more" 

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 me what I am today 

You see, Momma used to whoop me with a George Jones album 

That's why I sing this way
