Lyrics Sad One Comin' On (A Song for George Jones) - Vince Gill

This worn out old six string has sure been a good friend
It's never let me down when my heart's on the mend
It's always willing to play one more song
And I feel a sad one coming on

Some dingy old bar room is where he used to turn
'Til the bottle was empty, man, that whisky would burn
The life of the party 'til his friends were all gone
I feel a sad one coming on

Oh, sing me the sad ones, I don't like the fast ones
Keep pouring me something, real strong
Oh, I'm drawn to the blue side
Since the king of broken hearts died
And I feel a sad one coming on

'Cause the love of a woman saved Jones's life
He put down the bottle and he made her his wife
And he'd tear your heart out when he sang a song
And I feel a sad one coming on

Oh, sing me the sad ones, I don't like the fast ones
I can't bear that he's really gone
Oh, I'm drawn to the blue side
Since the king of broken hearts died
And I feel a sad one coming on

Oh, I'm drawn to the blue side
Since the king of broken hearts died
And I feel a sad one coming on
