As recorded by Aaron Watson (From the 2022 Album UNWANTED MAN) [Intro] G C G C G C G C [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

C
Travelin' with my band

         G                              D
And I'll keep on singin' songs that I believe

D

              C
I'll take the front row to the back row

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

            C          D          G
Yeah, I'm a fan of the fan in the cheap seats
