George Jones (Words/Music David Stephenson copyright 2012)
You can drown the Opry, it's been dead for years
You can drown the Opry, and I won't shed a tear
But Lord don't wash, George Jones away
He loves his lawn tractor for quick liquor runs
He's been getting wobbly since 1961
If you see him drunk in Nashville, makin' the scene
Won't you bequeth him some gold water wings
So don't wash George Jones away
The rats and songwriters will survive the flood
Floatin' on their guitars and chewing their cud
Rats and songwriters don't give a damn
As long as they're drawing their royalty checks
Direct deposit those royalty checks....Lord!
You can't kill Waylon, he's already dead
You can't drown Willie, he's gettin' high in Texas
The ghost of Hank Williams hangs like a dream
Protected from danger by a chicken wire screen
Pray don't wash George Jones away.
