George Jones - I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair Lyrics






[Chorus:]
I don't need your rockin' chair
Your Geritol or your Medicare
Well I still got Neon in my veins
This grey hair don't mean a thing
I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body's old but it ain't impaired
Well I don't need your rockin' chair

I ain't ready for the junkyard yet
Cause I still feel like a new corvette
It might take a little longer but I'll get there
Well I don't need your rockin' chair

[Chorus:]
I don't need your rockin' chair
Your Geritol or your Medicare
Well I still got Neon in my veins
This grey hair don't mean a thing
I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body's old but it ain't impaired
Well I don't need this rockin' chair

Retirement don't fit in my plans
You can keep your seat I'm a gonna stand
An Eskimo needs a Fridgedaire
Like I need your rockin' chair

[Chorus:]
I don't need your rockin' chair
Your Geritol or your Medicare
Well I still got Neon in my veins
This grey hair don't mean a thing
I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body's old but it ain't impaired
Well I don't need your rockin' chair

My body's old but it ain't impaired
Well I don't need your rockin' chair... Uh Huh...

  35. M.... J....

    I had the privilege of seeing George in an intimate setting (bout a 1000 seat venue) in 2003 and I remember thinking, "he's still awesome, but there's no way he'll still be able to hit that high note...", yeah right! He'd not only hit those notes, he'd hold them, turn them and then let'em loose!! I started my music career as a 14 year old rock drummer, and I admit that I love rock and metal, BUT, my favorite artist of all time is George "Possum" Jones!!!

  36. K.... M....

    Been listening to no show since a kid, but this shocked the shit out of me, says we gonna rock this place!! Something completely that I never seen, it was truly out of his element, but Daaaaaayum was all good, hell there he presented his gift, as in the day and sure in the hell "DON'T NEED NO ROCKING CHAIR"!! Loovin me some Jones always have, always will..Dad turned me on from Doors, to Jones, it was all good 😉 why so versitle in my music choice today!!! Thank You Dad!! miss you, and 9th coming up... When you left..but it's gonna be ok, and sad but memories keep me going💯❤️❤️
