作词 : Dubois, Lee, Singletary
My manager called, said we need to talk
So I met him on the 18th floor
He said, Daryle, we need to change a couple of things
Cause country ain't country no more
We a little more glitz and a little more glamor
A few fireworks and some half naked dancers
I said, okay, that's fine with me
The only problem I see
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
I can dance around the stage
But I still sing this way
Now, I've had this Georgia twang in my thang ever since I was a kid
There's a whole lot of Hag and Jones in my bones
What you hear is what you get
You can turn down the fiddle and steel guitar
Try to market me like a big pop star
I'm afraid it'll all go South
When I open my mouth
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
I can dance around the stage
But I still sing this way
When it comes full circle and the fans die down
Hardcore country comes back around
I'll be waiting with a big old smile
Cause I'll be back in style
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
I can dance around the stage
But I still sing this way
I can dance around the stage
But I still sing this way
