Lyrics The Very Best Of Me - George Jones

The Very Best Of Me

If I should die before I wake
Darling to this world I will donate
Give my dry lips to Jack Daniels
Give the Jukebox both my ears
Plant one foot in Texas one in Tennessee
And send my back side to my ex wife
Tell her to seal it with a kiss
Girl I’m leaving you the very best of me
I don’t see why anyone would want my old bloodshot brown eyes
My old heart is gone and full of memories
But I’ll donate all my parts to any other body that’s in need
But girl I’m leaving you the very best of me
So, Give my dry lips to Jack Daniels
Give the Jukebox both my ears
Plant one foot in Texas one in Tennessee
And send my back side to my ex wife
Tell her to seal it with a kiss
But I’m leaving you the very best of me
Now when I stop and think
About the thing that I know I’m going to leave behind
I ain’t got much of anything a body needs
But girl I’m leaving you sweet memories of our days and nights of love
Girl I’m leaving you the very best of me
Give my dry lips to Jack Daniels
Give the Jukebox both my ears
Plant one foot in Texas one in Tennessee
And send my back side to my ex wife
Tell her to seal it with a kiss
But I’m leaving you the very best of me
Oh Baby you’ve always had the very best of me
