George Jones - My Very Special Guests (1991) by George Jones (보컬) on maniadb.com

We don't know what it was but we had it
We don't where it went but we lost it
And it may never come back again but I sure wish it would
We don't know what it was but it sure was good

The first time I laid eyes on you I saw it
Shining in your eyes was bright as day
And when I held you in my arms I felt it
Oh, but like a fool I let it slip away

We don't know what it was but we had it
We don't where it went but we lost it
Well, it may never come back again but I sure wish it would
We don't know what it was but it sure was good

First time that we kissed I could taste it
Sweet upon my lips like a song
The moment we made love I knew we'd found it
One day I woke up and it was gone

We don't know what it was but we had it
We don't where it went but we lost it
And it may never come back again I sure wish it would
We don't know what it was but it sure was good

If you had one more chance would you take it?
And would you stand beside me from now on?
The second time around could we make it
And would you be there with me, hold it on

We don't know what it was but we had it
We don't where it went but we lost it
And it may never come back again but I sure wish it would
We don't know what it was but it sure was good
No, we don't know what it was but it sure was good

George Jones & Johnny Paycheck

Well, I left a good job in the city
A workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleep
While worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
I said rollin'
Rollin', rollin' on the river.

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Cropped a lot of cane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on this river boat queen.

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
I said rollin'
Rollin', rollin' on the river.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, if you come down to the river
Well, I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give.

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
I said rollin'
rollin', rollin' on the river.

--- Instrumental ---

I said rollin',
Rollin', rollin' on the river.
Rollin', rollin' on the river...

This never was one of the great romances
But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes
For now they look in tired and bitter glances
At the ghost of a man walkin' 'round in my disguise

He gets the feeling that he should belong here
But there's no welcome in the window anyway
And he looks down for a number on his keychain
'Cause it feels more like a hotel everyday

There's a stranger in the house, nobody's seen his face
Everybody says he's takin' my place
There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
Everybody says he looks like me

And now you say you've got no expectations
But I know you also miss those carefree days
And for all the angry words that passed between them
She still can't understand him when he says

There's a stranger in the house, nobody's seen his face
But everybody says he's takin' my place
There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
But everybody says he looks like me

He looks like me...

I was standin' by my window
On one cold, and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away.

Will that circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.

I went back home, my home was lonely
For my mother she was gone
All my brothers set to cryin'
For the home so sad and alone.

Undertaker, please undertaker,
Undertaker, please drive slow
For that body you are hauling
Lord, I hates to see her go

Will that circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky...
