Ol' George Stopped Drinkin' Today

Me and the bottle

Have always been friends

Oh, we've had a few ol' nasty fights

But the bottle would always win

And when I go to answer that final curtain call

I can hear these words bein' whispered by all.

Chorus:

Ol' George stopped drinkin' today

They're all gonna gather round me

Lord, I wish they could hear me say

No more income taxes

No more bills to pay

Ol' Geroge stopped drinkin' today.

Down in Mississippi

The highway patrol

Will read it in the paper

And say, God Rest his soul

No more will he wobble

Down life's highway

'Cause George stopped drinkin today.

They'll say he had a problem

Dealing with his mind

He just couldn't seem to make it

Anywhere on time

But when the roll is called up yonder

And heaven I know

You can bet the Possum is gonna show.

Chorus:

Ol' George stopped drinkin' today

They're all gonna gather round me

Lord I wish they could hear me say

No more income taxes

No more bills to pay

Ol' Geroge stopped drinkin' today.

Ol' Geroge stopped drinkin' today...
