Vince Gill - Sad One Comin' On (A Song for George Jones) Lyrics

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
I feel a sad one coming on

Some dingy old barroom is 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 comin' on

Oh, sing me the sad ones, I don't like the fast ones
Keep pourin' 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 comin' on

Oh, the love of a woman, it saved Jones' life
He put down the bottle, and he made her his wife
He'd tear your heart out, when he sang a song
And I feel a sad one comin' 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 comin' on
Oh, I'm drawn to the blue side
Since the king of broken hearts died
And I feel a sad one comin' on
