Jones, George - Over You Lyrics






When you left I thought that I would soon be over you
Even told myself that I would find somebody new
Time and tears have come and gone but not your memory
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Yes I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Even when my eyes are closed they keep on seeing you
Every minute of the night I'm hurting through and through
And as long as I'm alive I know I can't be free
But I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Yes I'll be over you when you're standing over me
And as you look down at the cold cold ground I'm sleeping in
Don't expect to hear me say that I still love you then
'Cause I'll be over you when the grass grows over me

Jones, George Over You Comments
  1. C.... G....

    What year was this plz

    C.... G....

    1998. It was on the album "It Don't Get Any Better Than This"

  3. L.... A....

    How I LOVE THIS song ❤❤ Possum🎤🎸 noonefillgeorgeshoes🙏⚘🌿

  4. s.... ....

    When I hear the way he sang 1:01-1:09 I think “yeah that’s how country music oughta sound” and then I think well dang.... he was about the only one who could pull that off consistently. For every other country artist out there (Merle perhaps not), it would have just sounded forced, artificial, or perhaps like they were stretching themselves to draw it out. George no. That was his regular, and that’s what made him so great— the ability to churn out raw, authentic emotion into a song, all the while catching you off guard with his idiosyncratic phrasing.

  5. s.... ....

    Before auto tune, there was George. It sounds like they used auto tune on this song. But my goodness... the way he phrased “now I’m just a breeze, in the tall maple trees.”

  6. L.... A....

    G.J. & T.W.♥️♥️♥️🎸

  7. C.... W....

    WHOSE GONNA FILL YOUR SHOES? I BELIEVE THEY DONT MAKE THEM SHOES ANYMORE!

  28. C.... E....

    DONT MAKE MUSIC LIKE THE POSSUM ANYMORE!

  29. D.... D....

    George Jones, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty, those guys are country. This new crap isn't country. Whatever happened to the real stuff?

  30. c.... ....

    but hands down, it doesn't get any better than Mr. Jones's music. thank you for your great great uploads of true country music gold. take care all, and to great music i can't say enough.... COA ...

  31. c.... ....

    i gave up on suppose top 40 country music stations many years ago, i git sick of their sh!t to. either it is country are it taint, and most let's say bout 90% taint country. and i tell ya this, taylor sounds like a chipmunk-smurf. she damn sure taint country music, she's more like a female justin bieber, or crap, they might be the same person? makes ya wonder? but i have to apologizes to mention a legend as Mr. George Jones and the bieber twins, so sorry... COA ...

  32. E.... T....

    So vary true!! i love Rock & Country. i think the Kids of today are taking over sadly there the ones that dont know what good music is anymore the radio stop playing the real stuff & started playing guys that all sound the same... you dont hear a voice that sounds diff they all sound a like one day i was like wow thet play this guy a lot!! come to find out they played 5 diff guys.. when you hear Real country you can pick them out u know Hagg when he plays U know Dolly & Jones TammyYeah pop blows

  33. W.... S....

    Thanks. I agree about Taylor Swift, you know when you hear an artist's music on pop and country stations there's a problem. The line between Country and Pop is gone. I don't have a problem with rock or pop. I love Rock and I listen to some pop but it doesn't belong in Country, neither does Country belong in pop or rock. Some of these Country artist need to realize this and stop pissing on tradition. If they wanna be pop they need to move on and drop the Country label and stop tarnishing it.

    W.... S....

    Warren Stanley I absolutely agree with you and I believe true country music is gone because the true country singers are gone and it's sad

  34. E.... T....

    Your right and im with you 100% this pop shit & that nasty thing they call taylor swift had messed up the music today. when i think of country i think of George Jones cant get more Country then him. Thanks for a good video!
