George Jones

The Very Best of Me

If I should die before I wake

Darling to this world I will donate

Give my dry lips to Jack Daniels

Give the Jukebox both my ears

Plant one foot in Texas one in Tennessee

and send my back side to my ex wife

tell her to seal it with a kiss

Girl I'm leaving you the very best of me

I don't see why anyone would want my old bloodshot brown eyes

My old heart is gone and full of memories

But I'll donate all my parts to any other body that's in need

But girl I'm leaving you the very best of me

So,Give my dry lips to Jack Daniels

Give the Jukebox both my ears

Plant one foot in Texas one in Tennessee

and send my back side to my ex wife

tell her to seal it with a kiss

But I'm leaving you the very best of me

Now when I stop and think

about the thing that I know I'm going to leave behind

I ain't got much of anything a body needs

But girl I'm leaving you sweet memories of our days and nights of love

Girl I'm leaving you the very best of me

Give my dry lips to Jack Daniels

Give the Jukebox both my ears

Plant one foot in Texas one in Tennessee

and send my back side to my ex wife

tell her to seal it with a kiss

But I'm leaving you the very best of me

Oh Baby you've always had the very best of me
