    Been an Alcoholic most of my life, plenty of times I’ve cried to George’s voice. When you can relate to the music it speaks to the soul. If I had any twin who was a damn singer and song writer, it was George Jones. I was a train headed downhill with no brakes, and I still struggle with the pain of regret and addiction. RIP George, your voice still lives on.

    I heard of this song shortly before typing this, when I learned that Alan Jackson sang his own hit "Pop a Top" then abruptly switched to singing this song. Once he finished, rather than bask in the applause, he got off the stage & into his bus as fast as he could. George & Nancy Jones, watching the show from their home, were delighted to see Alan stand up for him that way.

I used to listen to this song in my darkest hour and now I stand in the Light. Things are much better now thanks to God, Jesus, and the Spirit. All glory be to the Trinity but thank you George for the piece of your heart you left with us.

    The greatest showman and singer. The epitome of country music. I think everyone can rested to this song no matter what they have done or not in their life. Unlike some, George Jones acknowledged the demons that he had endured all of his life, and tried to fight the wrongs. We all have vices. Whether it's drinking, smoking, cussing, gambling, gluttony, etc. No one is perfect on this Earth. George Jones sang a lot of songs that touched peoples lives over the years, but this one is a masterpiece.

    Jones is the greatest country western singer the world has ever know. I was addicted and dependent on alcohol by the time I was 18. I drank everyday up until about 10 years ago. The only reason I quit is because heroin and bnboose got too expensive together, and I had to pick one. Quitting booze was easy compared to that shit. Clean and sober for 7 years now, at 37 years old. George, you got me through a lot, and this track gets me everytime. I love you old friend.

    As long as there's one George Jones fan left, he'll live forever. He'll be gone when all the lives that he's touched fade away, and that'll be a long time coming.

One of their jocks Bob "The Wizard" Wayne was from Farmington, West Virginia, about 8 miles up the road from where I live, and in my home county. He died in 1990. I also talked to Lee Arnold, Del DeMontreux, and many others on the request line.

Of all the guys I've dated before he was the only one I kept a real strong friendship with. We were there for each other in good times & bad. Our friendship is like brother & sister. I called him Hermono which is Spanish for brother and he called me Hermonita which is Spanish for little Sister. He went on to be with the Lord April 20th 2014 Easter Sunday. I miss him Dearly.

    the world has lost a treasure. i have lost my hero and the man whose music has comforted me, made me laugh and cry for over 30 years. My favorite memory of George was at the Memphis City Fair in the 90s. I didnt even know he was there and I was walking through the crowd and heard his voice,thinking it was someones radio. To my delight,there he was in an open tent singing and playing to a small crowd of about 200. My heart stopped and i sat in front of the greatest singer of all time.
