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.

Drive Me To Drink Lyrics
George Jones
Written by M. Huffman and E. Dobbins
Tonight do me a favor
On your way to do me wrong
Drop me at a honky tonk
Don't leave me here alone
I washed and waxed the car today
I even filled the tank
If you're gonna drive me crazy
Drive me to drink
All the mothers and your lovers
Will be happy I suppose
You'll be in his arms again
And I'll be off the road
The highway will be safer
And they'll have you to thank
If you're gonna drive me crazy, baby
Drive me to drink
You're in the driver's seat
It's all up to you
I'll be your dedicated man
Or your designated fool
But if you're hell-bent
And bound to bolt
I can't change the way you think
If you're gonna drive me crazy, baby
Drive me to drink
(Repeat last two verses)
Well if you're gonna drive me crazy, baby
Drive me to drink
