Divorce Or Destroy - Lyrics - George Jones
George Glenn Jones was an American musician, singer and songwriter who achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including "White Lightning", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last 20 years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill C. Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum."

We've lived together for a long time
But now the love is gone we once knew
We're old enough to know we can't live life this way
And young enough to start with somebody new.
So it's divorce or destroying each other
Which one of the two should we chose
You say in your heart there's no love left for me
And in my heart there's no love left for you.
We stay together for the children
Soon the children will be grown and be gone
Yet we keep on destroying each other
And to live life this way just must be wrong,
So it's divorce or destroying each other
Which one of the two should we chose
You say in your heart there's no love left for me
And in my heart there's no love left for you.
In my heart, no love left for you...
