My manager called, said we need to 
                               D
talk, so I met him on the 18th floor
He said, Daryle, we need to change a
 couple of things, 'cause country 
                 G
ain't country no more
          Em
We need a little more glitz and a 
little more glamour
  C
A few fireworks and some half naked 
dancers
  Am                               
I said, okay, that's fine with me, 
D
the only problem I see

[Chorus]
                  G                
I still sing this way, the only way
 I know, straight from the heart, a 
                  D
little through my nose
                 G            
You can dress me up in leather 
pants, put me in front of a rock and
       C
 roll band
                       G           
I can dance around the stage, but I
 D               G
 still sing this way

Now, I've had this George twang in 
                            D
my thing ever since I was a kid
There's a whole lot of Haggard, 
Jones, in my bones what you hear is 
         G
what you get
        Em                      
You can turn down the fiddle and 
               C
steel guitar, try to market me like 
a big pop star
Am                             D
I'm afraid it'll all go South, when 
I open my mouth

[Chorus]
                  G                
I still sing this way, the only way
 I know, straight from the heart, a 
                  D
little through my nose

pants, put me in front of a rock and

When it comes full circle and the 
                D
fans die down, hardcore country 
comes back around
Bm                           
I'll be waiting with a big old 
         E
smile, 'Cause I'll be back in style
