Old Violin lyrics

My momma used to tell me son you better get your work done your daddy`s coming home at five
And if you ain`t all thru with the chores you gotta do boy I`m gonna tan you alive
I was glued to the radio listening to my hero singing those sad old songs
Singing them sadder than a one car funeral nobody sings like Jones

I`d take that old kitchen broom up to my room and I`d play it like an old guitar
Or sit out on the porch trying to sing like George dreaming of becoming a star
Well things I never did when I was just a kid made what I am today
See momma used to whoop me with a George Jones album that`s why I sing this way

So I ended up in Nashville working at a saw mill just to be close to the stars
I got a little broke but I couldn`t ask my folks so I had to hock my old guitar
I still hang around tootsie`s orchid lounge thinking he`ll walk thru that door
But a voice in my mind says you wasting your time cause George don`t drink no more

I used to take that old broom up to my room and I played it like an old guitar
Or sit out on the porch trying to sing like George dreaming of becoming a star
Well things I never did when I was just a kid made what I am today
You see momma used to whoop me with a George Jones album that`s why I sing this way

Well things I never did when I was just a kid made what I am today
You see momma used to whoop me with a George Jones album that`s why I sing this way
Momma used to whoop me with a George Jones album that`s why I sing this way
