When you combine the greatest songwriter Billy Joe(up there with Hank, Merle, Roger Miller) and the greatest voice of all time you get this incredible song.
Saw him at the world famous Crystal palace in Bakersfield.california.. .Buck Owens and George did a duet...George was so good he covered all the mistakes Buck made in the song ..made him sound good.....George was a great man...and never made his fans feel like they were a bother when someone would stop him and ask for an autograph...he signed my math book...which I had to steal from the school.....lol. Still have that signature and the book..but still can't balance my check book...lol
the one and only traditional country artist ever,the best of hundreds of country heroes ! have played his music for over 50 years now love it all rip possum well deserved
Discovered this song on Thursday December 31 2020 it is probably the best song i heard last year from ol George he definitely help me through the shit year we had wish he and all the good ol boys we're still around
My prayers among many others were answered when Mr. George Jones survived crashing off bridge, I was fortunate enough to see him at the Taste of Chicago 6 months after. The line looking "straight at me" gave me chills as I'm sure many others felt that too in his long glorious career:) I thank God for the rain seeing George Jones and sending him to ease life's pains:) and trust he's safe in His Hands.
All these great songs will never be on the radio so thank you for these songs you tube and country collection I am very pleased you can't beat these wonderful voices and the words mean all to my self and others so think before yous put thumbs down from roberta
You will be missed, no one will ever be like you,I love all your songs there's nothing like the way you sing your music,I hope your in heaven now rest in piece Mr George Jones
Tonight is the first time I've heard one of my heroes sing a song written by another hero.. this is a golden hit.. Billy Joe Shaver and George Jones are gifts we dont deserve
I grew up during the 70s and 80s listening to Jones.. definitely an influencer of his time and this current time still. I have been playing guitar because of him
That's my song and thank you you my dear friend! Thank you for always playing it for me when I asked you too! I love that song cuz but not as much as I love you my ole friend!
All I can say for those who don't like today's country music (and I'm one of them), just buy all of George's CDs and play them in your car and turn off the radio!!!
I cut my teeth on traditional country and it is who I am. .eat, sleep and think real country music, steel and fiddle, but realize at the same time it isn't everybody's taste and that is fair!!
Such a good song, lots of people become drifters because they feel like they have nothing and well everybody needs something. We will always search for contempt meant cause we all deserve to know it. God bless
All the songs are extremely good I like these songs they make me cry so when I am feeling down after a bad day and night ģoerge Jones has a wonderful voice i can't get help thinking why has people put thumbs down there is good music I am from Glasgow and country music keeps me happy along with the rest of us so don't put thumbs down there is good music that gets straight to the heart you know that I am right so stop being nasty sit and listen to his songs thank you from roberta

The best,the voice is golden one of a kind you know its George Jones as soon as you hear the song.Is music is timeless and so is his voice.
this kind of music is what I grew up to in the 60s today these people are a real bad joke,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Tonight is the first time I've heard one of my heroes sing a song written by another hero.. this is a golden hit..
Billy Joe Shaver and George Jones are gifts we dont deserve
GEORGE JONES!!!! All ya need!!!!
I love George Jones r.p.t 2017
Great rendition of this song, Thanks for posting!
George is a bout 25 percent of his vocals here and still better then anyone in Nashville ❤
Now That's Country Boys!!!!

Alan Dorcas Blessed with him Vern Gosdin et al.
All I can say for those who don't like today's country music (and I'm one of them), just buy all of George's CDs and play them in your car and turn off the radio!!!
I agree--don't like the new country--Got George, Merle Haggard and Willie on ipod for the car! Always playing their music
I cut my teeth on traditional country and it is who I am. .eat, sleep and think real country music, steel and fiddle, but realize at the same time it isn't everybody's taste and that is fair!!
So so true
David Elliott so true and George favorite singer was hank
Agree I play them on my phone hooked up to the radio
Such a good song, lots of people become drifters because they feel like they have nothing and well everybody needs something. We will always search for contempt meant cause we all deserve to know it. God bless
I love him the best in country music /he is my rock/is song seen I have live that life he sang about /just love him
I love all his songs, especially this one singing about who he loved and looked up to.
2024 still listening to George 👍👌🌟👏
Something I’ve always wondered... how did he learn to sing like he did? Literally... his phrasing was otherworldly.
when people say others are his equal they are just simply wrong.
Written by the superior Billy Joe Shaver, covered by No-Show.
NascentGrasshopper LOL that is so true, BJS sold songs to lots of artist that he still won't tell what songs they are.
Thank you for this post. It has some wonderful pictures! Love the Possum! Give him a big hug for us!!
Never be replaced!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P.
All the songs are extremely good I like these songs they make me cry so when I am feeling down after a bad day and night ģoerge Jones has a wonderful voice i can't get help thinking why has people put thumbs down there is good music I am from Glasgow and country music keeps me happy along with the rest of us so don't put thumbs down there is good music that gets straight to the heart you know that I am right so stop being nasty sit and listen to his songs thank you from roberta

Bruno Martin p
Apparently I go loopy on country music
Jesus in your heart and being sober and in your right mind,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Soul#######
when i left country music i took the possum with me, every so often i would come back down this country road
the things I would do to see this man play!!!
this is a very good song.
Perfect!
EVERY SOMG IS VERY IMPORTANTIN MY LIFE> JUST GREAT TO LISTENTO.
What a song !!!! Brings tears 😢
Love it....
My brother's son is always welcome @ my door...
Awesome music
True words
George Hank Williams Jr and Waylon Jennings were some of the best for there time
At Ole boy was in a league of his own...
We need more george jones to less trash we have today
Pure velvet!
these shoes can't be filled!
I couldn't have said it better myself... norm rus and emlavern ....
Every time I hear him singing, I decided to stop drinking. My wife says if don't stop drinking, she will divorce me.
She loves you, and you have to love yourself enough to drink water and take niacin.
It's ironic that George's last name was Jones, because that's what we all did when he died.
❤❤❤❤
"JONESIN"
Hey stop commenting saying Jonesin you make no sense
+Dustin Riddell You dont know what that means which means you dont know Jones!
+Celestino Esquibel it doesn't mean anything
This song is a True story from bobby bare
It is a Billy Joe Shaver song, but it is a true story.
