[Verse 1]
G C
Well, he said, "Y'all can all go to hell
G C
'Cause I'm goin' to Texas," and he left Tennessee
G C
Kinda like that band of outlaw gypsies did
G C
Back in '70-somethin' when they set the music free
G C
And they yanked ol' Hank right up off the Opry
G C
Said ol' Waylon was way too rock 'n' roll
G C
And I know my cup of tea may not be your brand of whiskey
G C
Just make sure that yours is soothin' to your soul
G C
Yeah, make sure that yours is soothin' to your soul
[Chorus]
D
So I'll keep ridin' for the brand
C
Travelin' with my band
G D
And I'll keep on singin' songs that I believe
D
So you can keep your Music Row
C
I'll take the front row to the back row
D G C G C
I'm a fan of the fan in the cheap seats
[Verse 2]
G C
We were doin' our thing at this dive down in Detroit
G C
When I hit the stage, the place was mostly empty
G C
But this dude bought everyone round after round
G C
And we all had a ball and they all sang along with me
G C
And right there as I was standin' in the footlights
G C
I looked up to thank my lucky stars above
G C
And you may all wonder why for all those years I played for free
G C
And it's because I was doin' what I love
G C
Yeah, playin' country music is what I love
[Chorus]
D
So I'll keep ridin' for the brand
[Próxima Parte]
D C G A D G
Woo
[Bridge]
G
You finally offered me a seat there at your table
G
Then laughed and pulled the chair right out from under me
G
Yeah, now I aim to set the whole wide world on fire
G
Mixin' my music with your words is gasoline
G
As long as Saturday nights have a honky-tonk and
G
A good timin' band to keep your boots stompin'
G
A blacktop where these old bus wheels can roll
G
As long as lovers keep on lovin', dogs die
G
Trucks break down, there's cheatin' and drinkin'
G
You can go and keep your rigged-up radio
G
Man, you can go and keep your rigged-up radio
[Chorus]
D
'Cause I'll keep ridin' for the brand
[Próxima Parte]
C D G
Yeah, I'm a fan of the fan in the cheap seats
[Outro]
