George Jones

A Man I Always Wanted to Meet

I was thrilled to death the day that Babe Ruth signed my baseball bat

I always remember that, the greatest one of all

When I was out in Hollywood John Wayne tipped his cowboy hat

And when I got his autograph I felt ten feet tall.

I met the great Hank Williams one night backstage at the Opy House

He look down and grinned when I said, "I'm your biggest fan."

And I was there the day when J.F.K. rode into Dallas

I walked up to the limosine and shook his mighty hand.

I've met the famous and I've met the best

But there one man I've never met that outshines all the rest

And He's one man I always wanted to meet

He is the King of Kings and He's the Prince of Peace.

If I ever get the chance I'll fall down at His feet

He's one man I always wanted to meet.

Jesus, is the man I always wanted to meet...
