George Jones — Ol George Stopped Drinkin Today

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
