By most accounts, George Jones is the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties. Only Eddy Arnold had more Top Ten hits, and Jones always stayed closer to the roots of hardcore country. Jones was born and raised in east Texas, near the city of Beaumont.

Angels Don't Fly Lyrics
George Jones
Deep into midnight far from the warm light
Beneath the shadows of a cold crescent moon
I watched her leaving no shouting or screaming
Just the sound of our hearts as they fall out of tune
Angels don't fly they just walk out the door
I know cause her footsteps I still hear on my floor
You migh thtink I'm crazy but I know it's true
Angels don't fly they just walk out on you
Now I'm lost in my memories and smoky nights bring me
As close to the truth as any man should ever be
Seems the love that I gave her could never quite save her
From a wild, restless heart that just had to be free
Angels don't fly they just walk out the door
I know cause her footsteps I still hear on my floor
You might think I"m crazy but I know it's true
Angels don't fly they just walk out on you
Angels don't fly they just walk out on you
