Lyrics George Jones

George Jones

Ol' George Stopped Drinkin' Today

Me and the bottle have always been friends

Oh, we've had a few ol' nasty fights but the bottle would always win

And when I go to answer that final curtain call

I can hear these words bein' whispered by all.

Ol' George stopped drinkin' today

They're all gonna gather round me, Lord, I wish they could hear me say

No more income taxes, no more bills to pay

Ol' Geroge stopped drinkin' today.

Down in Mississippi the highway patrol

Will read it in the paper and say, God Rest his soul

No more will he wobble down life's highway

'Cause George stopped drinkin today.

They'll say he had a problem dealing with his mind

He just couldn't seem to make it anywhere on time

But when the roll is called up yonder and heaven I know

You can bet the Possum is gonna show.

Ol' George stopped drinkin' today

They're all gonna gather round me, Lord I wish they could hear me say

No more income taxes, no more bills to pay

Ol' Geroge stopped drinkin' today.

Ol' Geroge stopped drinkin' today...
