From Vidor to the Pew: The 95th Birthday Of George Jones

Like a honkey tonk song
Vidor child
Daddy works, Mama prays
He smacks you awake loaded up on booze
Sing and you better make it good!
Guitar comes ‘cause you did.
Grand Ole Opry Radio by battery while
Church by live wire
Go to Beaumont rowdy days
Jarhead Leatherneck Jamboree with Faron
Starday times
Why Baby Why all the way
To #4.
Tender Years
Tammy and your girls
Golden Rings
With you
Everything to lose
White Lightning made you
No show
Plus blow.
Nancy never gave you a Grand Tour
Stayed to keep the miles
And trials until you found Him again
Can you Hear Your Mama Pray?
We’re so glad she did.
From Vidor to the Pew
No one is Gonna Fill Your Shoes
Possum.
