Jones, George - My Tears Are Overdue Lyrics






(Just hang around my tears are overdue)

If you want to see somebody cry their heart out
For a love they lost and must live without
If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.

If you want to hear confessions from a broken man
Who once held a world of love, right in his hands
If you wanna see a heartbreak. right in two in front of you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.

Now there's not a way that I can say how much it really hurts
When a broken heart and guilty conscience starts to work
I hope you won't forget the sight you see today
Just remember love I had then threw away.

If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.
Just hang around my tears are overdue...

Jones, George My Tears Are Overdue Comments
  1. K.... M....

    Yeah ole george first time heard him i was a young man i cant remember the song but my grandad , dad , uncle and myself riding around drinking cold beer ...my grandad loved to listen to music his tops was George , conway and johnny bush when the cold beer was gone ....There music still live on but for all the other singers that cut same of those done a great . ..but once it was done by George that was it the became his

  2. S.... B....

    Fred Segrest who under his performing name of Freddie Hart wrote this lament of the epitome of hurt and despair. No one sings this song with the stark utter cold emotion of George Jones. The word "overdue" gets a 10 syllable make over by the king of country diction. This song is what happens in the stark reality when she grinds your heart into the ground like a half smoked cigarette, and walks away with her high heels stomping that heart like that worthless same cigarette.

  45. R.... C....

    Ever since he popped the top and drank the bottle empty. There's room for him in there since he drank himself to pieces. Broken promises and shattered life's leases. Her word is good, he never ever keeps his. Look in the empty bottle and you can see all their little life's pieces.
