George Jones - Just Someone I Used To Know Lyrics






There's a picture that I carry
One we made some time ago
When they ask who's in the picture with me
I say just a girl I used to know

Just some one I used to spend some time with
Just a flame that lost its glow
I don't tell them how lost I am without you
I say just some one I used to know.

Just some one I used to run around with
Just a friend from long ago
I don't tell them how lost I am without you
I say just some one I used to know.

I say just some one I used to know...

George Jones Just Someone I Used To Know Comments
  1. S.... B....

    George doing another in Jonesin` large economy size. Again another 1962 song. Country Jack Clement on the pen. The Jones boys and the Jordanaires. Great stuff from the best era of country music ever. From My Shannon Marie Burns notes. Gid bless my little Bear. I love you for eternity Shannon. Your Dennis.

  2. J.... P....

    I just heard this song for the first time. Closed my eyes and imagined driving through the hills and hollers of West Virginia in my granddad’s ‘78 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe single-cab with vinyl bench seat and 4-speed that smelled of King Edward cigars, old man aftershave, rusty metal, and damp earth.

    Born in 1914 in Mississippi, I’m confident that he listened to this song back in the ‘60s.

    My favorite nice one

  35. D.... K....

    The greatest

  36. D.... C....

    credit one of the greatest country folks you likely never heard of for this song, Cowboy Jack Clements. Google him, if it hadn't been for Jack, much of the music we love wouldn't have happened. It doesn't hurt that he enjoyed every second of rubbing Nashville's Big-Music's nose in what he did.

  37. d.... p....

    Great backing on this song love it..

  38. J.... W....

    In this world I've noticed that we tend to do this. We try to push into the back ground that one person we can never release. So we just lie and make crazy shit up to cover our real truth. How sad it really is....I don't want to play those games anymore.....I've evolved into a much more mature, loving human being than that.

  39. m.... m....

    There is great country music and then there is George Jones.Simply the best.

  40. E.... D....

    i use to play that song alot when i drove truck

  41. J.... J....

    damn this world is really going to hell in handbasket

  59. J.... J....

    VIETNAM COMBAT VETERAN -- To gain and retain political power TED KENNEDY and the rest of the self righteous limousine liberals pushed their liberal agenda through the media, the courts, the school system, television, newspaper, literature, government. We now live in a thought controlled PC society that GORGE ORWELL so accurately depicted in his 1949 book 1984. We should have open season on these Aholes starting with the donkeys on CNN.

  72. C.... C....

    I must have listened to this on auto-rewind from Stanley Mission Sask to Edmonton AB just to chill and thing about the radical things happening on Cree Lands by newcomers, I mean Immigrants to our Indigenous Peoples Lands by default.

  73. J.... J....

    The true king of country music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  74. C.... H....

    The shit they put on radio today can't and dont compare to what the possum and many others sangm.bring back country music the real stuff..

  75. B.... D....

    Cowboy Jack Clement wrote this song. It's been recorded by other notable singers, Emmylou Harris to name one!!

  76. M.... C....

    what an incredible performer this man was ,his ability to hold an audience spellbound was something to behold ,in his own words, there'll never be another,

  77. G.... A....

    If you dont like george jones music you are a fucking idiot this is back when country music was good!!!

  78. D.... C....

  83. P.... K....

    I had the extreme pleasure to have seen George Jones, Conway Twitty and Verne Gosdin at the Chicago Theater. I had 4th row center seats. These men made me cry like a baby through the entire concert. God rest all of their souls. The Possum, The High Priest, and The Voice are all gone now, but I honor them by singing their great songs at Karaoke bars.

  84. C.... C....

    A Hurting Song that we all remember and feel daily

    C.... C....

    for damn sure cliff.

  85. B.... D....

    my friend,publisher,producer,&mentor, Jack Clement wrote this. He also had publishing on Dickie Lee's "she thinks i still care", George didn't want "She thinks" at 1st, he said there was too many 'Just because's' in it. Cowboy Jack talked him into it-the rest is history. TRUE!

    B.... D....

    Bob dant sure is!! A true story.

  86. R.... A....

    Great song 1960s george had big hit with this i believe it was #2 on charts then 1968 porter & Dolly record it
    Had it #8.
    The title was some one i used know.

  87. T.... S....

    Jim Carrey needs to do his biopic

  88. C.... C....

    Who recorded this 1st, I do know Porter Wagner and Dolly also had a hit and many others; some said it was Jack Clements, but I just couldn't find it in Google search.

    C.... C....

    GEORGE JONES is FIRST to Rerecorded this song.

    C.... C....

    GEORGE Jones did it first.

  89. r.... b....

    NOBODY SINGS EM LIKE GEORGE

  90. R.... R....

    the world dosn't seem right without George.

  91. C.... C....

    this seems to be original version that was released when GJ was young and TV was black and white rather than 4HD and 2000 pixels

  92. r.... k....

    George Jones is truly the ultimate best I used to be a country music entertainer. I also sound alittle like George Jones.
