I've Still Got Some Hurtin' Left To Do - 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."

Tonight I went out with some old friends
We laughed and joked and oh, we downed a few
I was feeling strong, till someone played our song
I still got some hurtin' left to do
There's a waitress that I like down at the diner
I've even asked her out a time or two
But she says' not until your broken heart has healed
She knows I've still got some hurtin' left to do
Chorus:
Every time I have a few good happy hours
I start thinkin' I might be over you
There's a knock on my hearts door,
It's your memory back for more
Yes, I've still got some hurtin left to do
Yes, I've still got some hurtin left to do...
