Lyrics George Jones - Give Away Girl

Lyrics George Jones - Give Away Girl

Not long ago while dancin'
Our eyes by chance did meet
Though you were with your boyfriend
You swept me off my feet.

So foolishly as I cut in
To hope for new romance
I hardly had you in my arms
When someone sought your glance.

Your just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You're careless with your charms
Just like a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You'll never get in anyone's arms.

You're everybody's sweetheart
You never stick to one
You'll play the field forever
As long as you have fun.

You'll take almost and bandit
You love variety
Whoever might be handy
You'll fall for stupidly.

Your just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You're careless with your charms
Just like a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You'll never get in anyone's arms.

You give your kisses freely
You throw your heart away
You never stopped to think
That someday you will have to pay.

But by the time you wake up
You're best days will be gone
The sweetest words that you will hear
Will be, please leave me along.

Your just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You're careless with your charms
Just like a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You'll never get in anyone's arms.

Your just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You're careless with your charms
Just like a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway girl
You'll never get in anyone's arms.

You're just a giveaway, giveaway, giveaway, giveaway
Giveaway, giveaway, giveaway, giveaway

Lyrics George Jones - Ain't Love A Lot Like That

Lyrics George Jones - Ain't Love A Lot Like That

Well, a twister tore the roof off a grocery store
Blew an Idaho potato through the hardwood floor
Twirled granny's apron up around her head
The cat's still missin' and the dog is dead.

Well, ain't love a lot lot that
Ain't love a lot like that
Unconditional, unpredictable
Ain't love a lot like that?

Just like Moses and the Red Sea water
A little bit of faith and the ring I bought her
I hit my knees and she took my hand
And she lead my heart to the promised land.

Ain't love a lot lot that
Ain't love a lot like that
Unconditional, unpredictable
Ain't love a lot like that?

Well, the honeymoon's over and the work begun
My baby say I'm gettin' on her nerves again
One false move and an angry shout
I'm sleepin' all alone on the fold out couch.

Ain't love a lot lot that
Ain't love a lot like that
Unconditional, unpredictable
Ain't love a lot like that?

Ain't love a lot that
Now ain't love a lot like that
Unconditional, unpredictable
Ain't love a lot like that?

Unconditional, unpredictable
Ain't love a lot like that?

Ain't love a lot like that?

Lyrics George Jones - Good Ones And Bad Ones

Lyrics George Jones - Good Ones And Bad Ones

Some come from Heaven and some crawl from Hell
And the good fight the bad for your soul
But it's hard to tell the lie from the truth
When you find one that easy to hold
There's no way of knowing which one you've been lovin'
Till you leave 'em or you lose her for good
By then it's too late, you just mark it off to fate
Either way, you end up a fool
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the good makes you feel like you should
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the bad makes you feel just as good
A good one will love you for all that she's worth
A bad one will take you for more
A good one will cherish the key to your heart
And a bad one, a key to your door
A good one will love you for richer or poorer
But that makes the bad'er one worse
A good one will love you till death do you apart
And a bad one makes sure you go first
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the good makes you feel like you should
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the bad makes you feel just as good
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the good makes you feel like you should
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the bad makes you feel just as good

Lyrics George Jones - Drive Me To Drink

Lyrics George Jones - Drive Me To Drink

Tonight do me a favor
On your way to do me wrong
Drop me at a honky tonk
Don't leave me here alone
I washed and waxed the car today
I even filled the tank
If you're gonna drive me crazy
Drive me to drink

All the mothers and your lovers
Will be happy I suppose
You'll be in his arms again
And I'll be off the road
The highway will be safer
And they'll have you to thank
If you're gonna drive me crazy, baby
Drive me to drink

You're in the driver's seat
It's all up to you
I'll be your dedicated man
Or your designated fool

But if you're hell-bent
And bound to bolt
I can't change the way you think
If you're gonna drive me crazy, baby
Drive me to drink

You're in the driver's seat
It's all up to you
I'll be your dedicated man
Or your designated fool

But if you're hell-bent
And bound to bolt
I can't change the way you think
If you're gonna drive me crazy, baby
Drive me to drink

Well if you're gonna drive me crazy, baby
Drive me to drink

Lyrics George Jones - Back In My Baby's Arms Again

Lyrics George Jones - Back In My Baby's Arms Again

Written by D. Frazier and A. Owens
The honey bees are gonna be hummin'
Guitar strings are gonna be strummin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
Happy wheels are gonna be turnin'
Flames of love are gonna be burnin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
(Chorus)
No more tears are gonna be fallin'
I done heard my true love callin'
Open arms are waitin' yonder 'round the bend
Rivers of honey are gonna be flowin'
Big sweet flowers are gonna be growin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
The voice of love is gonna be talkin'
Hand in hand we're gonna be walkin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
Big ol' swings are gonna be swingin'
Water springs are gonna be springin'
When I'm back in my baby's arms again
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh, honey
Back in my baby's arms again

Lyrics George Jones - Glad To Let Her Go

Lyrics George Jones - Glad To Let Her Go

You took her from my side
The day you took her from me
And you though that it would hurt my pride
But there were things you failed to see.

You thought you stole away her love
But I want the world to know
It's the truth she turned her back on me
But I was glad to let her go.

Yes, you thought that you were foolin' me
And even though it wasn't right
Let me thank you for you set me free
From a lot of sleepless nights.

My love for her had died
Yes, it was over long ago
And it's true she walked away with you
But I was glad to let her go.

Yes, you knew that you were cheating me
And even though it wasn't right
Let me thank you for you set me free
From a lot of sleepless nights.

My love for her had died
Yes, it was over long ago
And it's true she walked away with you
But I was glad to let her go...

Lyrics George Jones - Everything Ain't Right

Lyrics George Jones - Everything Ain't Right

I'm gonna build a private graveyard
On the outskirts of town
And if my baby don't get home tonight
I'm a-gonna lower her down
'Cause it ain't right
Lord, no, everything ain't right

I saw her out just the other night
She was really on a spree
She was makin' love to some other guy
Right there in front of me
That ain't right
Uh-huh, no, everything ain't right

But I'm a-gonna buy her pretty things
And try to change her mind
'Cause I gotta have her with me tonight
I need her lovin' all of the time
My heart ain't right
Lord, no, everything ain't right

I could build the highest bridges
Over waters deep and wide
To have her love back with me again
It would ease this pain inside
The world ain't right
Uh-huh, no, everything ain't right

And I find myself in darkness
You took away the light
And I know there's never been a fool
Like me, before tonight
That ain't right
Lord, no, everything ain't right

But I think I'll write my will out
And sign it before too long
You ain't a-gonna spend my money, uh-huh
Not after this poor boy's gone
That wouldn't be right
Lord, no, everything ain't right

Lyrics George Jones - A Hard Act To Follow

Lyrics George Jones - A Hard Act To Follow

Well I can see you're advertisin' cause you keep givin' me the eye
It won't take long till your in my song I want to be with you tonight
I've been battlin' needin' bookin's and you the best contract I've known
I'm a gonna be a hard act to follow if you keep comin' on

I'm a gonna be a hard act to follow since you have set the stage
Take the key and unlock door let the tiger out of his cage
Just one more big rehearsal another night with you alone
And I'm a gonna be a hard act to follow if you keep a comin' on

Well the introductions over we got our hearts in tune
Let me know before we start the show am I fallin' in love to soon
I got a heart nearly as big as Texas about the size of the astrodome
And I'm a gonna be a hard act to follow if you keep a comin' on

I'm a gonna be a hard act to follow since you have set the stage
Take the key and unlock door let the tiger out of his cage
I don't want no double feature cause my heart just thinks that wrong
But I'm a gonna be a hard act to follow if you keep a comin' on
Yeah I'm a gonna be a hard act to follow if you keep a comin' on

Lyrics George Jones - Divorce Or Destroy

Lyrics George Jones - Divorce Or Destroy

We've lived together for a long time
But now the love is gone we once knew
We're old enough to know we can't live life this way
And young enough to start with somebody new.

So it's divorce or destroying each other
Which one of the two should we chose
You say in your heart there's no love left for me
And in my heart there's no love left for you.

We stay together for the children
Soon the children will be grown and be gone
Yet we keep on destroying each other
And to live life this way just must be wrong,

So it's divorce or destroying each other
Which one of the two should we chose
You say in your heart there's no love left for me
And in my heart there's no love left for you.

In my heart, no love left for you

Lyrics George Jones - Don't Leave Without Taking Your Silver

Lyrics George Jones - Don't Leave Without Taking Your Silver

You said I'm taking everything that is mine right down to the clock on the
wall. I watched as you packed up your things. Then you turned and said, "Well,
that's all." Oh but you've overlooked just one item. It's as much yours as the
clothes that you wear.
Don't leave without taking your silver. You left it right here in my hair.
It's yours, for I didn't have it the moment you captured my soul. First a
little streak showed then slowly it wove it's way right in with the gold. I
don't see how you overlooked it. For we both know that you put it there.
Don't leave without taking your silver. You left it right here in my hair. No
don't leave without taking your silver. You left it right here in my hair.

Lyrics George Jones - As Long As I Live

Lyrics George Jones - As Long As I Live

I'll love you dear, as long as I live.

It was easy said the night we parted
That we'd forget we'd ever met
I haven't forgotten, I wonder if you have
Or if your heart is full of regret.

As long as I live if it be one hour
Or if it be one hundred years
I'll keep remembering forever and ever
I'll love you dear, as long as I live.

Oh, I never thought that night we parted
That life alone would be oh, so bad
I know it sounds funny but I can't forget you
You're the only joy that I've ever had.

As long as I live if it be one hour
Or if it be one hundred years
I'll keep remembering forever and ever
I'll love you dear, as long as I live.

I'll love you dear, as long as I live

Lyrics George Jones - Big Harlan Taylor

Lyrics George Jones - Big Harlan Taylor

[Chorus]
Oh the ways of the world, and the wants of a woman
If I figured them all out 'twould take many years

I once had a sweetheart, the fairest of maidens
She out shined all others that I'd known by far
I had a friend, a big fella, named big Harlan Taylor
Harlan had a rubber-tired, new shiny car

[Chorus]

By the wants of a woman she fell for big Harlan
I tried, but in vain, for to take my own life
Suddenly I had lost all my will to keep livin'
She lost her desire to become my young wife

[Chorus]

I wanted revenge and waylaid for big Harlan
Then I started wonderin' what good would it do
If a rubber-tired, new shiny car's her ambition
Then she can just have it and big Harlan, too

[Chorus]

If I figured them all out

Lyrics George Jones - Faded Love

Lyrics George Jones - Faded Love

As I look at the letter that you wrote to me it's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so sweet I remember our faded love
I miss you darling more and more every day as heaven would miss the stars
above
With every heartbeat I still think of you and remember our faded love

I think of the past and all the pleasures we've had as I watch the mating of
the dove
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye I remember our faded love
I miss you darling more and more

Lyrics George Jones - Almost Persuaded

Lyrics George Jones - Almost Persuaded

Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a girl with a drink in her hand.
She had ruby red lips, coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man.
Then she came and sat down at my table,
And as she placed her soft hands in mine,
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine.

And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride.
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside.
Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you!"
"Take me away from here and be my man."
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it:

The reflection of my wedding band.
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on.
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home.

Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a guy with a drink in his hand.
He had bay blue eyes, coal black hair
And a smile that a girl understands.
Then he came and sat down at my table,
And as he placed his hands over mine,
I found my self wanting to kiss him
For temptation was flowing like wine.

And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride.
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside.
Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you!"
"Let me take you away and be your man."
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it:

The reflection of my wedding band.
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on.
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home.

Lyrics George Jones - A Little Bitty Tear

Lyrics George Jones - A Little Bitty Tear

When you said you were leaving tomorrow that today was our last day
I said there would be no sorrow then I'd laugh when you walked away
But a little bitty tear let me down spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown oh but a little bitty tear let me down

I said I would laugh when you left me full of funny as you went out the door
That I'd have another was a waiting yes to wave goodbye as you go
But a little bitty tear let me down...

Everything went like I planned it and I really put on quite a show
And in my heart I felt I could stand it till you walked with your grip through
the door
And a little bitty tear let me down...
A little bitty tear let me down a little bitty tear let me down

Lyrics George Jones - Boat Of Life

Lyrics George Jones - Boat Of Life

My friend, is the going rough with troubled seas around
To angry when you set your soul and dark clouds on you frown
Have you ever looked for bread and only found a stone
But it's because you're paddling your boat of life alone.

Is the raft you once had charted now both blurred and marred
Is you soul and body weary, the task of rowin' hard
Have you ever looked for joy and disappointment known
But it's because you're paddling your boat of life alone.

My friend there is one who knows your every fault and sin
And he knows your trouble and your whole dear life of sin
So why not call on Jesus, He'll help you safely on
Oh, my friend, it's foolish to paddle all alone

Lyrics George Jones - Don't Send Me No Angels

Lyrics George Jones - Don't Send Me No Angels

When the storm clouds gather and I'm losing my mind
She stands right beside me she lights up my day
She's the one thing I found in a world that's gone wrong
She's the words and the music to the world's finest song

[Chorus]
Lord let me keep her at least for a while
I promise I'll love her 'till I've walked my last mile
When your trumpets are sounding and you've played my song
Don't send me no angels 'cause I've got my own

She stayed with me through the hard times that's still goin' on
That old feeling between us it's still coming on strong
When my eyes close forever and my last breath is gone
Don't send me no angels 'cause I've got my own

[Chorus]

Don't send me no angels 'cause I've got my own

Lyrics George Jones - All I Want To Do

Lyrics George Jones - All I Want To Do

I don't want to be the one that make you lonely
I don't want to be the one that make you cry
I just want to take you in my arms and hold you
And keep you there until the day I die.

I don't want to be the reason you're unhappy
I don't want to be the one that makes you blue
I just want to take you in my heart for always
And love you dear that's all I want to do.

I don't want to be the best man at your weddin'
Unless I can be the one that says I do
For I want to show you just how much I love you
'Cause that's the only thing I want to do.

I don't never want to be the one to hurts you
I don't want to be the one that does you wrong
I just want to be the one that's always near you
The one that never leaves you all alone.

I don't want to sit with you out in the moonlight
And tell you lies like all the others do
I just want to take you in my heart for always
And love you dear that's all I want to do

I don't want to be the best man at your weddin'
Unless I can be the one that says I do
For I want to show you just how much I love you
'Cause that's the only thing I want to do

Lyrics George Jones - Couldn't Love Have Picked A Better Place To Die

Lyrics George Jones - Couldn't Love Have Picked A Better Place To Die

Of all the people in this world, why you and I
With lovers here and everywhere we don't care enough to try
Why couldn't all the hurt we're feeling now have passed us by
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?

And of all the hearts in all the world, why yours and mine
There's so many places love could die, we must leave the earth for a time
Oh, but it's in our hearts and it's in our bed and it's even in your eyes
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?

Somewhere out there there's lovers who want to be free
Why couldn't love have died with them instead of here with you and me
Oh, but it's pitiful how all these tears won't bring it back to life
Couldn't love have picked a better place to die?

Oh, but it's pitiful how all these tears won't bring it back to life

Oh, couldn't love have picked a better place to die?
