George Jones - A Goodbye Joke - lyrics

Album: Memories of Us/Battle
Track 13
No, she not gone forever
She's just playing one of her games
And tonight when I get home
Everything will be the same.
'Cause when I woke up this morning
Yes, I found her goodbye note
It just a game she's plays
It just a goodbye joke.
She's just goin' downtown shopping
She'll bring me back some sporty clothes
'Cause I'm always on her mind
No matter where she plans to go.
If I thought she was gone forever
Lord, I'd find me a hangin' rope
That's why I'm drifting now
It's just a goodbye joke.
Ain't it funny the sense of humor
A woman can have sometimes
Especially that lovely woman of mine.
Hey, bartender won't you bring me a drink
'Cause I still like ???
On the words she wrote
In her little goodbye joke...

George Jones - Softly And Tenderly - lyrics

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me,
See on the portal He's waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.
Come home, Come home.
Ye who are weary, come home,
Ernestly, tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling, all sinners come home.
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?
Come home, Come home.
Ye who are wary come home,
Ernestly, tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling, all sinners come home.
Calling, all sinners come home...

George Jones - A Few Ole Country Boys (With Randy Travis) - lyrics

George Jones & Randy Travis
(Randy)
Not too many years ago
When dreams weren't comin' true
I'd reach for inspiration
Sometimes it would be you.
I'd hear you on the radio
I sure did like your sound
Say its good to know
There is still a few ol' country boys around.
(George)
From the smoke its hard to tell
What's coming down the line
We heard you were a fast train
Coming out of Caroline.
We wondered what were you were haulin'
When you rode into town
Say it's good to know
There is still a few ol' country boys around.
(Randy & George)
You must have felt that same ol' feeling
More than once or twice
Guitars pressed against our hearts
Under the neon lights.
(George)
I've got to say that feeling
Is the best that I have found
Lord its good to know
There is still a few ol' country boys around.
(Randy)
There's a lot of truth ya know
In our kind of songs
About the life your living
And how love's done you wrong.
(George)
As long as there's a jukebox
And a honkytonkin' town
It's good to know
There is still a few ol' country boys around.
(Randy)
It's good to know
There is still a few ol' country boys around...

George Jones - A Picture Of Me (Without You) - lyrics

Imagine a world where no music was playing
then think of a church where nobody's praying
if you've ever looked up at a sky with no blue
then you've seen a picture of me without you
Have you walked in a garden where nothing was growing
or stood by a river where nothing was flowing
if you've seen a red rose unkissed by the dew
then you've seen a picture of me without you
Can you picture Heaven with no angels singing
or a quiet Sunday morning with no church bells ringing
if you've watched as the heart of a child's breaks in two
then you've seen a picture of me without you...

George Jones - A Thousand Times A Day - lyrics

I gave up cigarettes
Haven't had to light one yet
It's been a year since I stopped
Same goes for alcohol
I don't touch the stuff at all
I used to drink till I dropped

(Chorus:)
But those were tough - this is easy
And it feels so good to say
Forgetting you is not that hard to do
For I've done it a thousand times a day
Oh, I've done it a thousand times a day

Friends said it would take some time
To get you off my mind
Some said I'd never let you go
But, I guess I've proved them wrong
One more bad habit gone
Just like the whiskey and the smokes

(Repeat chorus)

I've given you up for good
Just like I said I would
Oh the night you walked away

(Repeat chorus

George Jones - Don't Stop The Music - lyrics

Don't stop the music
Let it play one more song
The same one that played
But not for so long
He's out with another
I saw him tonight
Sitting there close together
He knows that's not right
So, don't stop the music
Let it play one more song
The same one that played
But not for so long
My pockets are empty
I've spent my last dime
But I just got to hear it
That song one more time
Don't be mad at me mister
I know that it's wrong
But I want you to hear it
The words of that song
So, don't stop the music
Don't make me go home
I know she's not there
And I cry all night long
Don't stop the music
Let it play one more song
The same one that played
But not for so long
My pockets are empty
I've spent my last dime
But I just got to hear it
That song one more time...

George Jones - In The Garden - lyrics

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God, discloses.
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share
As we tarry there
None other has ever known.
He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet that the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart, Oh, it's ringing.
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share
As we tarry there
None other has ever known.
And the joy we share
As we tarry there
None other has ever known.
None other has ever known...

George Jones - A House Without Love - lyrics

For years we both have lived on pride dear and we agree that love is gone
Why oh why do we keep tryin' a house without love is not a home
The love light in your eyes has faded and I'm contented just to roam
We slaved to gain a worthless treasure a house without love is not a home
[ steel ]
No matter where our footsteps wander I know we'll both be all alone
With the pride that came between us a house without love is not a home
The simple things have gone forever we wanted wealth to call our own
Now we've reached the hour of parting a house without love is not a home

George Jones - A Place In The Country - lyrics

G C D D7
For thirty some odd years he faced a grinder in the city,
G C D D7
hustlin' day in day out just tryin' to survive,
C G
he bought his wife the finer things,and sent his kids to collage,
C Am D
that always took what little bit he tried to put aside,

G C D D7
But thru it all he had one thing that seemed to keep him going,
G C D D7
a dream that someday he could leave this city life behind,
C G
I watched his hair turn thin and gray, but his dream never faded,
C D G
he told me all about it at least a thousand times.
(chorus)
G G7 C
He always wanted, a place out in the country,
G G7 Am D
where the birds sing, in the morning,and the grass is emerald green,
G C
a place where, he could feel the mornin' sunshine,
G D G
and sit out in the evenin', where the air is, fresh and clean.

It took lots of overtime to keep his wife up with the jonses,
and more to get his son out of his run-ins with the law,
the more it took the more he gave, never once complaining,
I don't know how he ever stood the pressure of it all.

I never thought he'd make it, but he finally left the city,
and now he's got that special little place to call his own,
today I took a ride out in the country just to see him,
it wasn't hard to find because his name was on the stone.
(repeat chorus)x 2

George Jones - 4-0-33 - lyrics

We're, the two new people that's moved to the middle of the block
And we're the talk of the town and don't you think we're not
For we got love and happiness, people envy us you see
For we found heaven right here on earth at at 4-0-33.
Yes we found what most people are looking for
And it's not a lotta money to spend on a real fine car
But it's a window where a bird flies and sings so free
And there's whole lotta windows in this little house at 4-0-33.
The four thousandth block proves what true love can do
Once a lonely place but was sold to me and you.
Oh, all around the house you can see little children play
And they're not other people's kids were proud to say
They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see
They're a part of heaven right here on earth at 4-0-33.
At all hours of the day you can see many people drive by
For look at the house they think they fell from the sky
They say that this place would make them as happy as you and me
And the whole town's tryin' to buy our house at 4-0-33.
The four thousandth block proves what true love can do
Once a lonely place but was sold to me and you.
Oh all around the house you can see little children play
And they're not other people's kids were proud to say
They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see
They're a part of heaven right here on earth at 4-0-33.
We're not gonna sell our happy little house at 4-0-33.
Wouldn't take a pretty thing for the love we had at 4-0-33...
