Sad One Comin' On (A Song For George Jones)

(album: Down To My Last Bad Habit - 2016)

This worn out old six string, has sure been a good friend
It's never let me down, when my heart's on the mend
It's always willing, to play one more song
And I feel, a sad one coming on

Some dingy old bar room, where he used to turn
Till the bottle was empty, man that whisky would burn
The life of the party, till his friends were all gone
I feel a sad one coming on

Oh sing me the sad ones, I don't like the fast ones
Keep pouring me something, real strong
Oh I'm drawn, to the blue side
Since the king of broken hearts died
And I feel a sad one coming on

Oh the love of a woman, saved Jones' life
He put down the bottle, and he made her his wife
And he'd tear your heart out, when he sang a song
And I feel a sad one coming on

Oh sing me the sad ones, I don't like the fast ones
I can't bear that he's really gone
Oh I'm drawn, to the blue side
Since the king of broken hearts died
And I feel a sad one coming on

Oh I'm drawn, to the blue side
Since the king of broken hearts died
And I feel a sad one coming on
