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.

Twenty-five minutes past quiting time

Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine

Payin' no attention to them highway signs

Ninety mile an hour toward the county line
C B Bb A
Quick sack, twelve pack, back again
G D G
Its a B - double E - double R - U - N
G
My buddies and their babies lettin' down their hair
D G
As long as we're together it don't matter where
G
Ain't got a lot of money but we just don't care
D G
Knowing that the fun is in the gettin' there
C B Bb A
Aztec, long necks, paycheck spent
G D G
Oh its a B - double E - double R - U - N

I can't stop thinkin' what the Hell they were drinkin'

And its turn around, leave town, sounds again
