Lyrics

The Man In The George Jones Song
(ã2007 Mike Strasser)

I was sitting in a coffee shop. This guy sat down I said, “Hey, what’s up”
He stirred the coffee in his cup; and gave me a nod
After awhile he said, “Hey, you know that George Jones’s song, ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today”
I said, “Yea, I know that one.”
Then he said,” Well, I don’t want to be like that man in the George Jones’ song who never found love again
I’m gonna drive down to San Francisco. Knock on her door
Tell her I don’t want to live without her anymore more.”

I said, “Man, that sounds pretty extreme. I don’t know you but do you know what I mean
Showing up unexpected and all: Maybe it’d be best if you just a call.”
He said, “Man I thought of that. C’mon now give me some credit but a day don’t go by where I don’t regret it.
We broke up, cause I would not agree; and she wanted to have a child with me.
Now, I don’t want to be like that man in the George Jones’ song who never found love again
I’m gonna to drive down to San Francisco. Knock on her door
Tell her I don’t want to live without her anymore more.”

I finished up my coffee. Said goodbye. Wished him good luck
I drove home; got online; I looked you up.

Oh, nothing has changed since the last I looked. You’re still living in Florida
With each passing hurricane I pray to God that you’re OK
That year we spent in Mill Valley: So in love and so happy
The walks we took to the sea
But I‘m not gonna be that man driving’ down the highway with some half-assed plan 
And I’m so glad you’re not in California: But you’re thousands of miles away
Or that could be me driving when I feel this way.

That year we spent in Mill Valley; so in love and so happy
The walks we took to the sea
