George Jones - Super Hits Vol. II [compilation] (1993) by George Jones (보컬) on maniadb.com

I've heard the sound of my dear old mama crying
And the sound of the train that took me off to war
And the awful sound of a thousand bombs exploding
And I wondered if I could take it anymore

There were times when they almost drove me crazy
But I did my best, I took it like a man
But who would think in my lonely room I'd hear it
The one sound in the world my heart can't stand

To hear that sound and to know it's really over
Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk away
And of earthquakes storms and guns and wars
Lord nothing has ever hurt me more
Than that lonely sound, the closing of the door

And of earthquakes storms and guns and wars
Lord nothing has ever hurt me more
Than that lonely sound, the closing of the door

Has it been a year since the last time I've seen her my God I could swear it was ten
And the ocean of liquor I drank to forget her is gonna kill me but I'll drink till then
I've been livin' in hell with a bar for a cell still payin' for my cheatin' crime
And I got a long way to go still doin' time
Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison still doin' time where a man ain't forgiven
My poor heart is breakin' but there's no escapin'
Each morning I wake up and I find still doin' time

When you're caught cheatin' twice it's twenty to life
In a place where the sun never shines
And tomorrow you're gonna find me right here still doin' time
Still doin' time in a honky tonk prison...

She'll never grace the centerfold of Playboy magazine
And chances are you'll never see her on the silver screen
She's by far the biggest star the world will never see
But she don't shine for the rest of the world she's too busy shinin' for me
Shine on shine on shine on though the world may never see
Oh my baby won't you shine on shine on shine all your sweet love on me

She won't be asked for autographs like all the movie stars
She won't wear Paris fashions or ride in chauffeured cars
But in her jeans she's the sexy dream that they'd all like to be
But she don't shine for the rest of the world she's too busy shinin' for me
Shine on shine on shine on

I've had good luck, and bad luck
And no luck, it's true
But I always get lucky with you

I've been turned on, and turned down
When the bars close at two
But I always get lucky with you

I keep two strikes against me
Most all of the time
And when it's down to just a phone call
I'm minus a dime

There's been good days, and bad days
But when the day is through
I always get lucky with you
Oh, I always get lucky with you

If you told me that you love me
I would feel so proud
If you'd let me hold you honey
I'd holler out loud
I'll never love another
Even if I can
Come to me baby I'm a one woman man

(Chorus:)
Want you let me baby just a kind of hang around
I'll always love honey and I'll never let you down
I'll never love another even if I can
Well come to me baby I'm a one woman man
I'd climb the highest mountain
If it reached a bigger sky
To prove that I love you
I'd jump off and fly
I'd even swim the ocean
From shore to shore
To prove that I love you
Just a little bit more

(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat first verse)
(Repeat chorus)

Rivers turn to oceans and flow on to the sea, embers turn to ashes, and love to memories.
Rain turns to rainbows and gray skies turn to blue.
But when the world turns on me I turn to you.

A thirsty man needs water.
A bluebird needs the sky.
A man needs his woman or he'll wither up and die.
Roses need sunshine. Violets need the dew.
But not half as much as I need you.

Deep in my soul, and always on my mind, forever in my heart, you're the light that shines.
Someone to hold when no one else will do.
When the world turns on me I turn to you.
When the world turns on my I turn to you.

Today I got a long letter
From one who still cares for me
She asked lots of questions
Like would I call her sometime
And was I gettin' back on my feet
She asked if I had stopped drinkin'
Like I promised her long ago
The words wouldn't come
When I called and she answered
Oh, but I found a way to say no
(Chorus:)
I sent her some wine colored roses
The color of grapes on the vine
When she sees the wine colored roses
They'll tell her I'm still on the wine
The roses will say I still love her
And the color will cause her to cry
One dozen reasons to tell her I'm sorry
And twelve pretty flowers don't lie
(Repeat chorus)

Well here we are again tonight alone just us two
Where lights are dim and true love is comin'
Through there's no one else in this whole world as
Far as we're concerned we've built us a fire so
Let it burn When you look at me like you do right

Now I go to pieces cause I know what's on your
Mind it's just me you've got that love-me-look in
Your eyes like you've had so many times and how
Loving you could never be better than it is right
Now

Tomorrow night we'll meet again and once more fan
The flame cause loving you the way I do stays the
Same this love of ours is just as strong as any
Vow could be and love could never be better for
You and me when you look at me, loving you could
Never be better than it is right now

Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers ev'rywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care
But if she's happy thinkin' I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish
Oh where would she get such an idea
Just because I ask a friend about her
And just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care
She thinks I still care

He kisses her goodbye, and heads for the radio station.
Oh, he hates to leave her, but he's got another show to do.
He knows she gets lonely, so he lets her know that he's thinking about her.
And though millions are listening, she knows who he's talking to.

[Chorus]
Comin' to you live like I do every night
From the heart of your radio.
I play a little sad, and I play a lotta glad.
And a few ol' cheatin' songs.

Here's hopin' everybody out in radio land
Found a love just as true as mine
Good night angel, sleep tight darlin'
Close your pretty brown eyes.

When the show is over,
Your radio lover
Will be home by your side.

She's laying in bed as her DJ tells her that he loves her.
It would break his heart if he knew she wasn't there alone.
She knows when to cheat and when to tell her lover to leave her.
She knows they'll be safe just as long as his show goes on.

He planned a surprise for the night of their first anniversary.
He taped his show just so he could be home.
The radio was playing and, as he walked in on her and her lover,
He heard himself saying the last words that they ever heard.
