G D
My manager called, said we need to talk, so I met him on the 18th floor
G
He said, Daryle, we need to change a couple of things, 'cause country 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 D
I said, okay, that's fine with me, the only problem I see
[Chorus]
G D
I still sing this way, the only way I know, straight from the heart, a little through my nose
G C
You can dress me up in leather pants, put me in front of a rock and roll band
G D G
I can dance around the stage, but I still sing this way

There's a whole lot of Haggard, Jones, in my bones what you hear is what you get
Em C
You can turn down the fiddle and 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]

I still sing this way, the only way I know, straight from the heart, a little through my nose

You can dress me up in leather pants, put me in front of a rock and roll band
