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.

From Here To The Door Lyrics
George Jones
Well, it's only my love you are taking.
And it's only my heart you are breaking.
To you it will be only footsteps you're takin',
But it's my lifetime from here to the door.
From here to the door is your freedom.
To you, a short walk 'cross the floor.
If you go now, this house will be a prison.
'Cause it's my lifetime from here to the door.
--- Instrumental ---
There you stand now, but I guess that you're goin'.
Where I failed, I've no way of knowing.
To you it's no more than a cold wind that's blowin',
But it's my lifetime from here to the door.
From here to the door is your freedom.
To you, a short walk 'cross the floor.
If you go now, this house will be a prison.
'Cause it's my lifetime from here to the door.
Yes, it's my lifetime from here to the door...
