George Jones — That Singing Friend Of Mine

[Verse 1] He could take and sing a heartsong And twist every heartache out And the way he walked out on the stage Made folks scream and shout And he had a way with the women And could put away the wine I sure miss that singing friend of mine [Chorus] I can hear him singing now He could sure sing a good memory When he'd sing about the grass of home I'd always cry I sure miss that singing friend of mine [Verse 2] He loved fast cars and night life He seemed to thrive on danger He'd had to fight most all his life So he was quick to anger But when he'd sing a country song His face would light with a smile And I sure miss that singing friend of mine [Verse 3] From a show in Kansas City I guess he was Nashville bound The radio playing softly "The Bottle Let Me Down" And somehow he missed that big curve And a giant looked down in time I sure miss that singing friend of mine [Chorus] I can hear him singing now He could sure sing out a good memory When he'd sing about the grass of home I'd always cry I sure miss that singing friend of mine [Outro] I sure miss that singing friend of mine
