I'm just listening to the radio, listening to my hero, singing them sad [E] old songs.
Singing I'm sadder than a war career [F#] funeral.
Nobody sings like John.
I take [E] that old kids room, up to my room and I [B] play it like an old guitar.
[C#] Push it out on the porch, try to sing like George, [F#] dreaming I'll become a [F#m] star.
The [B] things I never did when I was just a kid, made me what I [E] am today.
You see, mama used to work me with a George Jones album, [F#] that's why I sing [B] this way.
[E] [B]
[F#]
So I live and I still work at a sawmill, just a bit close to the [F#] start.
I got a little broke but I couldn't ask my folks so I had to hock my own [B] guitar.
I'm still hanging around Tutsi's [Bm] orchard now, I'm thinking he'll walk through [E] that door.
But a voice in my mind [Bm] says you're wasting your time, [F#] cause George don't drink [B] no more.
I [E] used to take that old room, up to my room and I [B] play it like an old guitar.
[C#] Push it out on the porch, try to sing like George, [F#] dreaming I'll become a [F#m] star.
[B] The things I never did when I was just a kid, made me what I am [E] today.
You see, mama used to work me with a George Jones album, [F#] that's why I sing this [B] way.
