VERSE:
A
I've been called a hell-raiser
G
A honky-tonk trailblazer
D A
Rebel soul for damn near all my life
A
And when they tried to change me
G
Never let it phase me
D
I kept my nose to the grindstone
A
In the barrooms every night

Did it my way
E7
It worked every time
CHORUS:
A
Don't let no one tell you how to feel
G
Keep leanin' on what you know is real
D
If you sing a lie,
A
They're gonna see right through you
A
They'll say they have a crystal ball
G
But trust me, they don't know it all
D A
There ain't no substitution for the truth
E
Don't ever let them turn your head around
N.C. A G D A G D
Just stand your ground
VERSE:
A
A friend of mine once told me
G
"Hoss, they've bought and sold me"
D A
"I think I may have learned a thing or two"
A
But you just keep on pickin'
G
'Cause them suits don't buy your tickets
D A
It's the everyday blue-collar folks that do
