@Sydwayman because americans made niggers their slaves... how could you be so dumb. slaves weren't running america those years now were they? damn ungrateful lazy spooks around me stealing my tools wearing my clothes..the nigger i work with even took my radio i listen to country with and yet i am supposed to be okay with theft by nigger? please...nigga please
@scottspook dont get my radio wet i say as the spook takes it to the niggers lunch room...fuckin asshole you see the tool box it was in.. you think cuz something is there its yours to keep you fucking ignorant cunt. what the fuck is wrong with you...assholes... the nigger doesnt even wear a tool belt always asking me where shit is...find it yourself dumbass you've found the rest of my tools hiding my fucking carpenter square pretending you dont know where it is.. FUCK you dominicans
@Sydwayman because he is basically a socilist he takes half of my paycheck to lazy ppl with 8 kids that live on welfare and live on food stamps he has givin out more food stamps then any other president...he apparently doesnt believe in work if he just gives out free money at the snap of a finger... he has made this country so broke its not funny..NOBAMA 2012
@Gibson393 Can you explain socialism to me? We are in the worst "recession" since the great depression, why shouldn't we help people if they're having a hard time feeding their family?
@tedayrom prayers from lots of caring people who read this...and a good treatment plan. I just heard this song 4 the first time, holdin' on 2 old memories is so tempting, whether or not that person has phsysically left us. Many blessings on your journey, you've got alot of company on this leg of the walk...REALLY!
There are a LOT of good country songs today. I agree, it's hard to hold a candle to George, Waylon, Willie, Merle and Hank but let's not knock the great artists we have today!
Country music today is garbage, true country music like this is priceless. Country music died in the 1980's. I grew up listening to George, Waylon, Willie, Merle, and Hank. Today's country music could never come close to the true country music of George Jones.
God, this man is a legend. I'm only 16 and I know that each word that passes through his lips is pure gold. Just about every love song of his truly melts my heart. This is country music. Not that stuck like glue or Taylor Swift garbage.
@DarthMorbius1977 i agree now you have people singin about how rain makes corn and just stupid stuff like that. Tim mcgraw sang a song about puttin pop in his country then he comes out with a song about how it felt good on his lips so yeah
this song help my grandmother to quit drinking, so i guess that is something if i ever see george jones that i would thank him for because music is one hell of a powerful thing.
time to join your local clan than lets go hunting just got to stop by wal-mart for the permits we love you Jeorge sorry it's not like it use to be out hear no more real clan they all went soft
the only good music comes from expeirence and george aint like the singers nowadays he is the best country singer that ever picked up a guitar thats what i think ur the best george.
what will we do when all the old boys are gone?...will be a very sad day for sure.."Haggard, Jones, Nelson," etc...when country was country...on stage with a mic, most times a 4some and an old Peavy Amp...nowadays...a full studio with sound boards etc...shit, I could be a star!!! haha
Man, I was born in 92' and My father always had old country music on and as a 4 year old kid I would sing George Jones songs in the bathtub...well thats what my father tells me and to this day I still like to listen to his old country CD's ...I guess it reminds me of my home town...but the fact is that Im 17! and I actualy like this music...not saying its a bad thing but it's VERY unusual.
@Rushworshiper92 Thanks Txmusicam 1st time I heard this song.....To you who used to sing George Jones in the bathtub...that's where it all starts...jusst lovin' 2 sing....whether singing with the music or on your own thank U for bein' an 'unusual' 17yo and keepin' the memories alive...my Dad died in 2001 ,but my memories of country music radio in the station wagon full of kidz,and my Dad singin' along is priceless...Here's 2 keepin'Golden Oldies Alive!
This was when it was about the music. Now its about marketing marignal talent with barbi doll looks. The industry murdered country music in its purest form in the 80's. God Bless George Jones...a real country artist.
@DarthMorbius1977 - I would agree, This is REAL Country! However I don't agree that it died in the 80's, because in my opinion it will NEVER die! Hank Williams died 60 years ago and we still talk about him! And when you think about it, Waylon was putting out Music until 2000, George and Merle are STILL out there singing songs, and 60 years from now they will still know who these guys were. Excellence NEVER dies!!!
Did you ever 'hit the proverbial nail' on the Head! ! ! Seems it takes about 15 - 20 years for the cream to rise to the top of the bottle! ! (a phrase that will be lost on those who can't remember the milk bottle delivery).
@KLUNKET Sorry, have never done this before...made a comment myself, and appears to be one year later...lol...but I think you nailed it on the head...and just had to say so!
@DarthMorbius1977 You just mentioned five of the greatest singers/performers in the history of civilization as we know it. The new shit, as you put it, should be fucking embarrassed to even exist in the shadow of George, Waylon, Willie, Merle and Hank (Sr. AND Jr.).
@DarthMorbius1977- I agree that new country will never equal this or the greats that you have named but real country music is not dead, it's just harder to find these days.. Hank III and Jamey Johnson are thankfully keeping the ol' outlaw sound alive but in modern form.
best song ever written, being sung by the best singer ever, and real country music at its absolute best!!!!
country music is dead when it comes to radio, i wish they would stop playing that modern crap they got now, and bring back real songs like this one...
I saw you in person.... made love to the woman I'll always love after the show, and yet here i am, all these years later swinging that memory, a half gallon at a time from these dying hands.
You could take all the clowns from today's country singers and put them altogether,and not even come up with an ounce of talent,compared to singers like Jones!!! The Possum Rules!!!! Today;s country sucks ass!!!
