One

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.
