George Jones - That Singing Friend Of Mine Lyrics






He could take and sing a heart songs
And twist every heartache out
And the way he walked out on the stage
Made folks scream and shout
And he had a way with the women
And could put away the wine
I sure miss that singing friend of mine

I can hear him singing now
He could sure sing a good memory
When he'd sing about the grass of home
I'd always cry
I sure miss that singing friend of mine

He loved fast cars and night life
He seemed to thrive on danger
He had to fight most all his life
So he was quick to anger
But when he'd sing a country song
He face would light with a smile
And I sure miss that singing friend of mine

From a show in Kansas City
I guess he was Nashville bound
The radio playing softly
The Bottle Let Me Down
And somehow he missed that big curve
And a giant looked down in time
I sure miss that singing friend of mine

I can hear him singing now...

  16. J.... P....

    I think this was written for Ira Louvin.

    J.... P....

    +Jake Penrod  And some say Lefty.

    J.... P....

    +Tom Page I thought lefty when I first heard it, but Lefty was still alive in 1972 when this was recorded.

    J.... P....

    +Jake Penrod Yes, you're right.

    J.... P....

    Ira Louvin makes sense, he did have a tumultuous life, didn't he. I love the song, thankyou for posting.

  17. J.... G....

    I still miss you George!!

  18. D.... H....

    Tom just wanted to let you know that you are my favorite YouTube channel to listen to the great George Jones on. 

    D.... H....

    Thanks, just can't beat The Possum! I try not to post songs that are already on youtube. So if you see duplicates, chances are mine was first. Sometimes if I really like a song that's already out there, I'll post it too, but I haven't done that too many times.

    D.... H....

    @Tom Page do you know who George is singing about? Hank?  Horton?

    D.... H....

    @drawwing I kind of think Lefty. 

    D.... H....

    Totally! !!

  19. B.... E....

    Sad listening to this knowing George's no longer with us. What a singer, what a man

  20. W.... W....

    i miss my singing friend ( that's you george )

  21. D.... R....

    Good Ole' Country
    Nothing Can Beat
    The Truth
    Emotion

  22. j.... ....

    R.I.P. George we love & miss you!

  23. W.... O....

    Mel Street died in 1978, six years after this song; it's a generic tribute to all the Country stars who met untimely ends, such as Johnny Horton, Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, Big Bopper etc. It's a great song for sure.

    W.... O....

    thank you

    W.... O....

    The song is about Ira Louvin.

  24. p.... ....

    And the time has come! May he RIP!

  25. W.... T....
