If You Want Me To - 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."

IF YOU WANT ME TO
WRITERS RUSTY GABBARD, RAY PRICE
Well, there ain't no chains strong enough to hold me There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me I never have seen a river that's too wide There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me There ain't nobody big enough to stop me I'll be there if you ever want me by your side. So love me if you ever gonna love me I never have seen a road too rough to ride No there ain't no chains strong enough to hold me Ain't no breeze strong enough to slow me I'll be there if you ever want me by your side. Well, there ain't no rope strong enough to bind me Look for me honey you will find me Abny old time you're ready with your charms Yeah I'll be there ready and a waitin' there won't be any hesitation I'll be right there if you ever want me in your arms. So love me if you ever gonna love me I never have seen a road too rough to ride No there ain't no chains strong enough to hold me Ain't no breeze strong enough to slow me I'll be there if you ever want me by your side...
