Almost Persuaded Lyrics - George Jones

Last night all alone in a barroom 

Met a girl with a drink in her hand 

She had ruby red lips and coal black hair 

And eyes that would tempt any man. 

Then she came and sat down at my table 

And as she placed her soft hand in mine 

I found myself wanting to kiss her 

For temptation was flowing like wine. 

And I was almost persuaded 

To strip myself of my pride 

Almost persuaded 

To put my conscience aside. 

Then we danced and she whispered I need you 

Take me away from here and be my man 

Then I looked in her eyes and I saw it 

The reflection of my wedding band.

And I was almost persuaded 

To let soft lips lead me on 

Almost persuaded 

But your sweet love made me stop and go home...
