Watson, Gene - Nothing Sure Looked Good On You Lyrics






You found your greener pastures in a mansion on the hill
With a flashy foreign car to drive and lots of time to kill
Now my mind keeps on remembering the days of me and you
But when we were down to nothing, nothin' sure looked good on you

You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of
And through the days of dark and rain we could always live on love
With his style in life he lured you and you could not refuse
But when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked so good on you

When you honeymooned in Paris it was carried on the news
And I heard you laughed your cares away on a Caribbean cruise
You were always one for dreamin', now your dreams can all come true
But when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked good on you

You said you needed simple things that I had plenty of
And through the days of dark and rain we could always live on love
With his style in life he lured you and you could not refuse
But when we were down to nothin', nothin' sure looked so good on you

  49. B.... K....

    An awesome singer!!!!!

  50. D.... M....

    Listen to Gene sing Carman.

  51. S.... B....

    People, get in contact with Eddie Stubbs at WSM and have him mount a "Get Gene Watson in the Hall" campaign. Eddie has the big ones to do it. But it will take a petition drive. Gene showing why he should be there right now.

    S.... B....

    Sorry to seem negative on your suggestion but membership of the CMHOF is not decided by petitions or singer fanbase's, that is not how the process works and has no influence on the committee who make the decisions.

    S.... B....

    Just letting you and everyone know he got I believe it was Lefty Frizzell put there from a one man crusade he put on with his bully pulpit there at WSM and I am sure he could do it again. I am going to suggest he start a drive to get Wynn Stewart put in. Listen, the ONLY WAY Connie Smith got in was???
    Her old man sat on the selection comittee. Any bets? No I will not debate how it is done, we know how it is really done. If anyone outside the click can get it done, Eddie Stubbs can "lean" on Stuart or one of the others who sleep while attending the conferences.

  52. D.... A....

    Watching this video with Gene Watson. WOW, the entire room is full of so many great artists. I feel so blessed to have lived during their time. This was the best time for real country music.

  53. T.... S....

    Yes I Love Gene!♥️🌹♥️

  54. J.... L....

    I’m jus

  55. L.... L....

    Thinking man or womans song.Great!!

  56. M.... S....

    I love his music ,,it touches my heart

  57. B.... M....

    he is amazing. The last one who pours his hea
    rt into his voice

  58. D.... H....

    Who is the blonde lady next to Gene? Looks familiar.

  59. H.... S....

    Why can’t he be in country Hall Of Fame??????????

  60. J.... T....

  64. m.... l....

    nothing like watching a bunch of weatherd old cowboys about to cry haha

  65. R.... E....

    Love to listen to Gene's music also Rhonda Vincent s music

  66. V.... J....

    I love his voice...he could always make you believe in love again. He deserves the Country Hall of Fame.

  67. G.... B....

    It's awesome how he sings this so calmly. When a song calls for power, like You Gave Me a Mountain, he brings it. But a song like this he sings completely differently. Checks his ego at the door for the sake of the song. Respect that.

    G.... B....

    Well said ♡♡♡♡

  68. M.... P....

  77. T.... A....

    This is the only artist that I have ever been to see more than once and if I can work out the details I will go to Branson Missouri to see him this year

  78. S.... W....

    Today is April 1st. 2019 and all I want to say is I love Gene Watson's singing and his concerts are always packed. He is a true gentleman and his talent knows no bounds. He needs to be a member of the Opry and in the Country Music Hall of Fame. If it were possible, we would be at every show of his. His band is so talented and is so in sync with Gene.

  79. J.... N....

    He can still hit them notes!

  80. N.... J....

    WHAT A TALENT.

  87. J.... L....

    Gene is in some pretty fast company, Wow. Love Gene Watson.

  88. M.... S....
