Jones, George - I'm A Survivor Lyrics
They say I'm somebody so I try to live up to the name
But I'm just not that good at dealin' with fortune and fame
I've made mistakes, more than I care to recall
But one way or another I always get over the fall.
I wrote the book on hard knocks and I've bathed in the blues
I've been the feature on the six o'clock news
Well, I'm a survivor, dancin' the blues.
Sometimes I'd wonder how I've managed to live through it all
Yes, I've spent a lifetime of living with my back to the wall
The records will show that I've had my share of regrets
But as long as I'm breathing you ain't heard the last of me yet.
I'm a survivor, I've paid my dues
Just playing the part Lord, I couldn't refuse
Yeah, I'm a survivor win, draw or lose.
Yeah, I'm a survivor win, draw or lose

The ONE and Only I ❤GEORGE JONES, GREAT GREAT video🎤🎸🎼🔊🔊🔊
Imagine growing up in this time period and hearing about all of George Jones struggles with alcoholism and drugs an your in that crowd an he shows up and performs this song! I mean listening to this on my phone makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up! I can’t imagine being there live in person
Man does he look bad here! Sounds great! But you can tell he’s fighting addiction
William Nimbach This is actually past his downward spiral in the late 70’s early 80’s, past addiction but still drinking for sure a bit here in 1988 haha. Very cool video though for sure! George is the absolute best!
Wow!! What a true hidden master piece I don’t know how I’m just now hearing this
Nuff said. . .
I always love watching him in concert like this i really enjoy it
He is the best singer ever listen to him all my life I grew up on listen to his music
just recently heard what WAYLON said;" I f WE ALL could sound like we wanted to, We would ALL sound like .................GEORGE JONES" ! Well said Waylon. hahahaha
Send it to email nancygray [email protected] thanks
Love know what become of his sons Ben and Jeff Jones if any one knows the Horst you’ll of it please
Everything he does is golden
they asked johnny cash who is his favorite country singer, he said you mean after george jones?
Please send the lyrics love this song
That’s gotta be Roy Clark doing the introduction!
superchef78 oh it’s gotta be!!! Either that or his twin brother!!
This rich sultry soulful voice that got sweeter with age can never be duplicated! A song's bestfriend. He threw in everything effortlessly! The VERY BEST!😎🌎❤️💥
Jacqueline Ramphal I’m 15 and can’t get enough of George, I’ve listened to just about every song of his, love them all! I even made a couple playlists of just George! Maybe one day I could continue real country music, none of today’s country music!
One of the last true legend gone to soon...yvon
my favorite singer me a f George got drunk a lot drink beer a x listen to George love to here sing
I thought I had heard everything
George had recorded, so this is a surprise! He is my all time favorite! I listen frequently, he is the “BEST”.
He sure was a LEGEND! RIP GJ & TW Love you both!
No words can describe his voice so I’ll just say amazing!!
every word true
Definitely the best ever , he lived his songs ...
That ol' golden voice! And to be honest with you, I think he sounded even better when he started to show a little age. Jones!
It got deeper, and way better, the older he got, jones live performances are worth their weight in gold...
Much love...
Simply the best never be another
good old George! made the hurt come out!
this song is me to a tee!
LOVE HIS MUSIC
Sounds like my life !
My Grandpa used to tell me when I was a kid if George Jones ain't singing it then it ain't country nobody could sing it like him.RIP
God can sing!
Nobody can full his shoes or sing his songs like he can here's to absent family and friends I miss you all these songs will keep me going

show them how it,s done ,,,,,,,all them won,t a bee,s…keep it country ,,,
Just when you think you have seen it all. You tube never ceases to amaze.
One of my favorites from the Ol' Possum!
How have I missed this song by George all these years? He is my favorite of all time. This sounds eerily like the story of his life. Thanks for sharing.
James Barnes live is by far the best george jones :-)
This is from an album entitled "Too Wild Too Long" that sold very poorly but is an amazing work of genius.
Tracy Elliott I'll agree with you on that. A true gem of a song!
To be fair, though. His 1987 album didn't sell "very poorly"...it reached a peak position of #14 on the Country Albums chart. The album chart, at that time, ranked the Top 100 best selling albums in country music and at it's peak it was among the Top-20 best selling albums...so it wasn't necessarily a poor selling album. The problem stemmed from the early impact of country radio's resistance at playing older/established country singers. Yes, even in 1987, country radio was well on it's way to eliminating airplay of artist's such as George Jones...it didn't reach fever pitch until the early 1990s, though. That's when the older artists started to address it more loudly...with George often leading the way. Had country radio embraced the 1987 album as record buyers did this song could've easily hit the Top-20 or Top-10.
ACcountryFan You are right. I stand corrected. It was about airplay and not album sales.
Haven't heard this before now great song if a familiar melody.
WildPhotoShooter love george jones beautiful singer
