George Jones Lyrics

Are you looking for George Jones lyrics to some of his top hits? Look no further. I also have a few demo tutorials here as well.

What can we say about George Jones music? It's simply the best in classic country. No one sings it like the Ole Possum himself. George Jones has been in country music since 1954 ... that's 56 years and still active at nearly 80 years of age. I'll be showcasing more George Jones songs such as She Thinks I Still Care, The Grand Tour, He Stopped Lovin Her Today and many more in time here in this section.

--- Start Of Tennessee Whiskey ---

I used to spend my nights out ... in a bar room
Liquor was the only love I'd known
But you rescued me from reachin' ... for the bottom
And you brought me back from being ... too far gone

And you're as smooth ... as Tennessee Whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And I stay stoned on your love ... all the time

Short Break

I looked for love ... in all the same old places
Found the bottom of the bottle ... always dry
But when you poured out your heart ... I didn't waste it
Cause there's nothing like your love ... to get me high

And you're as smooth ... as Tennessee Whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And I stay stoned on your love ... all the time
I stay stoned on your love all the time

--- Start Of The Race Is On ---

Lord I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful ... that I may never shake
You might say that I was taking it hard
When you wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
I may break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back they're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the running true love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all

Break
One day I ventured in love never once suspectin' what the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And thinkin' that you're gone from me
Cause there's aching and pain in my heart for today
Was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
And I wound up in second place

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back they're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the running true love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all

Yeah the race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all

--- Start Of Take These Chains From My Heart ---

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You'll grow cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone ... but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark ... of the love ... that use to be
If you love somebody new ... let me me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

BREAK

Give my heart just a word of sympathy
Be as fair ... to my heart ... as you can be
Then if you no longer care ... for the love being there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You'll grow cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free

--- Start Of There Goes My Everything ---

There goes my only possession
There goes my everything

I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And the voice ... is softly saying
Darling, this will be goodbye for evermore

There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything

As my memory ... turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we've had before
And the love ... that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of the door

There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything
