[Verse 1]
      G                            
Well, he said, "Y'all can all go to
 C
 hell
                    G              
'Cause I'm goin' to Texas," and he 
           C
left Tennessee
      G                       
Kinda like that band of outlaw 
         C
gypsies did
            G                      
Back in '70-somethin' when they set
           C
 the music free
         G                       
And they yanked ol' Hank right up 
         C
off the Opry
         G                         
Said ol' Waylon was way too rock 
  C
'n' roll
      G                          C
And I know my cup of tea may not be 
your brand of whiskey
          G                 
Just make sure that yours is 
                  C
soothin' to your soul
           G                 
Yeah, make sure that yours is 
             C
soothin' to your soul


[Chorus]
             D
So I'll keep ridin' for the brand
C
Travelin' with my band
         G                         
And I'll keep on singin' songs that
     D
 I believe
D
So you can keep your Music Row
              C
I'll take the front row to the back 
row
                 D                
I'm a fan of the fan in the cheap 
G     C  G  C
seats


[Verse 2]
                  G                
We were doin' our thing at this 
            C
dive down in Detroit
               G                   
When I hit the stage, the place was
        C
 mostly empty
         G                         
But this dude bought everyone round
       C
 after round
                 G                 
And we all had a ball and they all 
           C
sang along with me
          G                        
And right there as I was standin' 
      C
in the footlights
         G                         
I looked up to thank my lucky stars
  C
 above
        G                          
And you may all wonder why for all 
      C
those years I played for free
           G                      
And it's because I was doin' what I 
C
love
              G                    
Yeah, playin' country music is what
 C
 I love


[Chorus]
             D
So I'll keep ridin' for the brand
C
Travelin' with my band
         G                         
And I'll keep on singin' songs that
     D

So you can keep your Music Row
              C
I'll take the front row to the back

                 D                
I'm a fan of the fan in the cheap

seats
  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
C
Travelin' with my band
         G                         
And I'll keep on singin' songs that
