Jones, George - Choices Lyrics






I've had choices since the day that I was born
There were voices that told me right from wrong
If I had listened, no I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying with the choices I've made

I was tempted, by an early age I found
I liked drinkin', oh, and I never turned it down
There were loved ones but I turned them all away
Now I'm living and dying with the choices I've made

I've had choices since the day that I was born
There were voices that told me right from wrong
If I had listened, no I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying with the choices I've made

I guess I'm payin' for the things that I have done
If I could go back, oh, Lord knows I'd run
But I'm still losin' this game of life I play
Losing and dying with the choices I've made

I've had choices since the day that I was born
There were voices that told me right from wrong
If I had listened, no I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying with the choices I've made

Living and dying with the choices I've made

    This is my life!!! Plain and simple!

  51. F.... H....

    I agree MR Jones..


    Living and dying with the CHOICES THEY made,...





    (leave it up to them)

  52. A.... S....

    Classic!

  53. R.... H....

    I was sitt'en here noodling with the guitar tonight and this song jumped out of the chords so I hunted it up. In fact I'd even forgotten who sang it and I wanted to check the phrasing. Well George Jones was the master at phrasing and I wouldn't even think to try to sing it like him. The man knew how to absolutely draw you into the song. Unfortunately this one is the autobiography of his tortured life. George was the master at his art and touched many to their very soul. I had tears listening to it. George I hope you found peace man.

  54. C.... W....

    Whose gonna fill these shoes??

  55. C.... T....

    God dam the story of my life Mr Jones job well done!!!

  56. D.... S....

    Live my life by this man

  57. r.... m....

    I am 16 and George Jones is my favorite singer

  58. c.... l....

    Real country boy right here, hey George you ever listen to rap music hed say fuck no that's for trashy ass ne gers

  59. C.... M....

    Song is spot on, fucking sucks

  60. W.... S....

    Possum was one of the defining voices of real country music. This “Hick- Hop” of today has no soul. It’s all about trying to make money.

  61. J.... W....

    This is a classic you better believe it

  62. S.... L....

    This man describes my life... So many mistakes. And I'm so sorry. But can't go back.

  63. U.... M....

    Only if the music was like this, where it stood for something. Telling a story, love pain, heartache, about life. Change isn't always the best.

  64. M.... ....

    live and learn by the life and message

  65. V.... G....

    One of his better songs great singer Rip George

  66. P.... E....

    I love you so much and my dad

  67. j.... z....

    106.5 OR3 IN SOUTH JERSEY WERE PLAYING 2 COOL 80-90'S SONGS THEN WENT TOO THIS RAP GARBAGE THEY CALL COUNTRY TODAY! I HAD TOO LOOK AT THE SETTING ON RADIO! WELL MAYBE THEY LIKE IT BUT IT AIN'T COUNTRY! TOO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE 2 CATS GETTING READY TOO TANGLE IN A ALLEY WAY!

  68. c.... y....

    you never know about famous people,but he seemed like a nice guy

  69. C.... D....

    the asked johnny cash who his favorite singer was; johnny said you mean after george jones?

  70. L.... M....

    a song about my life

  71. D.... C....

    Story of my life

  72. N.... H....

    The one and only (RIP GEORGE)

  73. g.... w....

  74. K.... P....

    N.... D....

  78. l.... ....

    RIP Possum you were one the best.💕🇨🇦

  79. S.... S....

    Brother, we had choices. There were voices, that told us right from wrong. We loved drinking. Hell, we never turned it down.... Now you're gone.... If I could go back, oh lord knows I would. I miss you brother. I love you even more. We had some wild times, and even dumber moments. But I wouldn't trade those memories for the world. There were loved ones, but we turned them all away. Living and dying with the choices we made. I guess we're paying for the things we've done, other than you being gone, I wouldn't do a damn thing different. I love you brother. Always. RIP

  80. J.... B....

    I find it hard to believe that an artist like George Jones can have a 50+ year career, and only have 13 number one songs. How sad. I hope George's rest has been peaceful.

    It's also hard to believe that this song turned 20 years old this year.

  81. L.... M....

    How could this man hold you and everyone in the Palm of his hand made you feel he was ringing yo only you even if there were others present

  82. C.... W....

    I just wanna know who those 1.7k people are that don't like this song! I think this is one of his best right here, and I love EVERYTHING he ever did! He could sing nursery rhymes and I'd be ecstatic. RIP George Jones. Country Music will never be the same again without you.

  83. E.... J....

    I'm 14 and wanna be in the marines like him plus I know all his songs

  84. k.... K....

    George Jones good.singer

  85. j.... ....

    just found ol George and im in love.. god rest

  86. c.... b....

    Incredible I miss this kind of music

  87. P.... B....

    WTH gave this song 1k+ dislikes? This is a great song

  88. C.... S....

    God bless the possum

  89. B.... U....

    Liven an dien

  90. B.... H....

    Rest in peace and may perpetual light shine on u

  91. S.... ....

    By an early age I discovered I like drinking. Now at 48 I need to make some very hard choices.

  92. D.... W....

    We’ve all had choices. We live and we learn. George Jones will lead us down the trail and take each stop on the way with us. Then look over just to let you know we’re both fucked up having the time of our lives.

  93. D.... A....

    Most of my choices have been questionable 🤔

  94. A.... F....

    Great singer

  95. R.... B....

    George Jones I don't think he knew how much he inspired the world of country music he was a great man always looked up to Mr George Jones

  96. r.... H....

    I’ve seen him 3xs I feel blessed ❤️

  97. R.... S....

    George you are by far a country legend no one I repeat no one holds a candle to you so today's modern day so called country needs to hang it up because you suck RIP Mr Jones

  98. B.... L....
