Kevin Collins - A Tribute to George Jones
Well! The news it broke today that our possum passed away
With heavy hearts so many tears are sure to fall
And the voice that shaped our world is now heavens shinning pearl
Oh! the heart of country music broke today
Saratoga Texas son where his story had begun
He played those honky tonks and bars to make it pay
Then he wrote "why baby why" and bid those honky tonks goodbye
And the rest is country music history
Walk through this world with me, I'm still the same ole me
Hello darlin', He stopped loving her today
Now the possum's headed home, and it hurts us to the bone
Beacuse the voice of country music died today
There were times he didn't show, but his fans would not let go
He gave his life to country music all in all
Though radio gave up on him, George Jones was born to sing
Among the reason why he lived to tell it all
Now he's singing with God's love, from the Window up above,
Family bible, Angel band, Unclouded day
Now our lose is heavens gain, but his music will remain
Oh! The voice of country music died today
Who's gonna fill their shoes, Golden ring, Bartenders blues
The heart and soul of country music died today.
