Billy Yates Lyrics
"Only One George Jones"

He grew up just a poor boy from Beaumont
With a guitar and some songs he liked to play
He stole the hearts of everyone who knew him
And the crowds went wild when they heard him sing

He could bend the notes and moan like no other
And pretty soon the whole world would know his name
Though quite a few have tried to sound just like him
There ain't a one of us that will ever be the same

There's only one George Jones
Only one George Jones
He makes it sound so real
With all the pain you feel
And them sad ol' country songs

There's only one George Jones
Only one George Jones
He's the king of country soul
There's only one George Jones

I heard him ask who's gonna fill the shoes
Of the ones who came and left their mark behind
For they'll never be replaced, I'm here to warn you
And there's just a few that are really one of a kind

There's only one George Jones
Only one George Jones
He makes it sound so real
With all the pain you feel
And them sad ol' country songs

There's only one George Jones
Only one George Jones
He's the king of country soul
There's only one George Jones

He's the king of country soul
There's only one George Jones
