George Jones - Wine Colored Roses

The Very Best Of Me

If I should die before I wake
Darling to this world I will donate

Give my dry lips to Jack Daniels
Give the jukebox both my ears
Plant one foot in Texas one in Tennessee
And send my back side to my ex-wife
Tell her, "seal it with a kiss"
Girl I'm leaving you the very best of me

I don't see why anyone would want my old bloodshot brown eyes
My old heart is gone and full of memories
But I'll donate all my parts to any other body that's in need
But girl I'm leaving you the very best of me

So, give my dry lips to Jack Daniels
Give the jukebox both my ears
Plant one foot in Texas one in Tennessee
And send my back side to my ex-wife
Tell her, "seal it with a kiss"
But I'm leaving you the very best of me

Now when I stop and think
About the things that I know I'm going to leave behind
I ain't got much of anything a body needs
Oh but I'm leaving you sweet memories of our days and nights of love
Girl I'm leaving you the very best of me

Give my dry lips to Jack Daniels
Give the jukebox both my ears
Plant one foot in Texas one in Tennessee
And send my back side to my ex-wife
Tell her, "seal it with a kiss"
But I'm leaving you the very best of me

Oh baby you've always had the very best of me
