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.

Good Ones And Bad Ones Lyrics
George Jones
Some come from Heaven and some crawl from Hell
And the good fight the bad for your soul
Bit it's hard to tell the lie from the truth
When you find one that easy to hold.
There's no way of knowing which one you been lovin'
Till you leave 'em or you lose her for good
By then it's too late, you just mark it up to fate
Either way, you end up a fool.
Chorus:
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the good makes you feel like you should
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the bad makes you feel just as good.
A Good one will love you for all that she's worth
A bad one will take you for more
A good one will cherish the key to your heart
And a bad one a key to your door.
A good one will love you for richer or poorer
But that makes the bad'er one worse
A good one will love you till death do you part
And a bad one makes sure you go first.
Chorus:
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the good makes you feel like you should
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the bad makes you feel just as good.
Chorus:
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the good makes you feel like you should
It's a fine line between Heaven and Hell
When the bad makes you feel just as good...
