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
