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.

Four-O-Thirty-Three Lyrics
George Jones
We're the two new people that moved to the middle of the block.
An' we're the talk of the town, an' don't you think we're not.
For we've got love an' happiness; people envy us, you see.
For we found Heaven right here on earth at Four-O-Thirty-Three.
Yes, we found what most people are lookin' for.
An' there's not a lotta money to spend on a real fine car.
But it's a window where a bird flies an' sings so free.
An' there's a whole lotta windows in this little house at Four-O-Thirty-Three.
The 4,000 lot proves what true love can do.
Once a lonely place that was sold to me an' you.
Oh, all around the house you can see little children play.
An' they're not all other people's kids, we're proud to say.
They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see.
They're part of Heaven right here on earth at Four-O-Thirty-Three.
At all hours of the day, you can see many people drive by.
For a look at the house they think fell from the sky.
They think that this place would make them happy as you an' me.
Now the whole town's tryin' to buy this house at Four-O-Thirty-Three.
The 4,000 lot proves what true love can do.
Once a lonely place that was sold to me an' you.
Oh, all around the house you can see little children play.
An' they're not all other people's kids, we're proud to say.
They are the symbol of our love for all the world to see.
They're part of Heaven right here on earth at Four-O-Thirty-Three.
We're not a-gonna sell our happy little house at Four-O-Thirty-Three.
Wouldn't take a pretty penny for our lucky little house at Four-O-Thirty-Three...
