Ol' George Stopped Drinkin' Today Lyrics - George Jones

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.

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. 

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.

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...
