LYRICS: A Good Year for the Roses George Jones I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick On the cigarettes there in the ashtray Lyin' cold the way you left them But at least your lips caressed them while you packed And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't drink But at least you thought you wanted it, that's so much more than I can say for me It's been a good year for the roses Many blooms still linger there The lawn could stand another mowin' Funny, I don't even care When you turned and walked away And as the door behind you closes The only thing I know to say It's been a good year for the roses After three full years of marriage It's the first time that you haven't made the bed I guess the reason we're not talkin', there's so little left to say we haven't said While a million thoughts go runnin' through my mind, I find I haven't spoke a word And from the bedroom those familiar sounds of our one baby's cryin' goes unheard But what a good year for the roses Many blooms still linger there The lawn could stand another mowin' Funny, I don't even care And when you turned and walked away As the door behind you closes The only thing I know to say It's been a good year for the roses Låtskrivere: Jerry Chesnut

This "stuff" they call Country today,will wither and fade.But 100 years from now,this song,will still,be classic Country music.

Now THAT is what real country music sounds like.

So that easily is the SECOND best song in country music. First being “he stopped loving her today “

What? It was a big hit for Jones in 1970 this video is from a tribute album he and other singers did for him .

When George hits those last few harmony notes at the end on the word "Roses".....man...that voice is just timeless. He's truly one of the greatest country singers ever. (Haggard too)

Damn I forgot how good this version was with AJ and the possum man look how young Allen was where has time gone

Yep good old country. I wish they play more of it on the radio these days. then I might turn my radio back on in my car. No I have to come here and listen to him. or get my CDs out Awesome song though

Love this video and both of the singers. Some time I have to pull this up and watch it. A young Alan Jackson makes me smile.

I met AJ the year he won the Best New Artist or Horizon award on one of the award shows. He was humble as I complemented him, looking down at the floor, kinda digging the toe a his sneakers into the carpet. As he thanked me after I said, "Well, you're sure filling those shoes.", I could see he started to tear up. I knew then how much he looked up to George. Two of the greatest!

Jones and Jackson two of the very, very best.

Country music will never be the same… the respect Alan and George showed each other and the harmony of this is just exemplary …

What a great duo! Alan Jackson had to be beside himself recording the song with George Jones! Probably a dream come true for him!

Mama was born in Cottontown, TN and I grew up listening to George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty and Elvis, just to name a few. This is what you call real, traditional country music. I hear some folks say, they don't like the "tear in your beer" type country music. Y'all, country music is about real life and real life can sometimes suck and be sad and depressing. I'd rather listen to this than the current state of pop-country that plays on the radio. There's no emotion that I can hear in their voices and they all sound alike and even their songs sound alike to me. No thanks :(
