[Intro]

[Verse 1]
DI'm a little more beer bottle beer joint than a fancy bar
DI'm a little more sitting up high on the road than a little car
GI'm a little more bust ya back than take it for free
And that's how I'll aDlways be
DI'm a little more lose my temper than to sit on back
DI'm a little more ol' Hank Williams than that trendy crap
GI love a flat wood ol' front porch made of an old oak tree
And that's how I'll alDways be
[Chorus]
I'll aGlways be a fan of ol' stray dogs and guitars playin'
D/F#One room churches, back road walks and front porch swingin'
EmSunset skies, bonfire nights, I lAove the simple things
That's how I'll aDlways be
[Verse 2]
DI got friends that say I live a little like cool hand Luke
DFast cars and motorcycles raisin' hell in cowboy boots
But hGey on Sunday morning I'll take the back row seat
That's how I'll aDlways be
[Chorus]
I'll aGlways be a fan of ol' stray dogs and guitars playin'
D/F#One room churches, back road walks and front porch swingin'
EmSunset skies, bonfire nights, I Alove the simple things
That's how I'll alDways be
[Instrumental]
G   D/F#  Em  A
[Bridge]
BmI'm a fan of chert rock bouncing ofAf a Chevy fender
That feeDling that you get thaD/F#t first time she Glets ya kiss her
BmRusty roofs that rattle when the raAin is fallin' down
DHandshake deals fresh cut hay fields and homAsusetownsA  
[Chorus]
GI'll always be a fan of ol' stray dogs and guitars playin'
D/F#One room churches, back road walks and front porch swingin'
EmSunset skies, bonfire nights, I Alove the simple things
That's how I'll alDways be
That's how I'll alwGays be
That's how I'll aAsuslways beA  
That's how I'll alDways be
