You All Goodnight

George Jones · Heartbreak Hotel - Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight [2011]

The other day I met a girl while strolling through the park

And pretty soon this little girl was flirting with my heart

I'm so glad that I was there to find this lovely queen

The clock was striking romance right at two-fifteen.



I kissed her once and held her tight and then I kissed her twice

She snuggled in my arms and said you kissed me oh, so nice

So far was I lost in a dream because she was my kind

Was then that I decided I would change her name to mine.

At four-fifteen I bought the ring and bought the licence too

We stood before the preacher then and we both said I do

The preacher said my children I pronounce you man and wife

May your troubles all be small ones for the balance of your life.



--- Instrumental ---



We found a furnished bungalow, the answer to our dreams

And we became the owners at exactly nine-fifteen

At ten-fifteen we locked the doors and turned out all the lights

And here my story ends my friend, I bid you all goodnight.



And here my story ends my friend, I bid you all goodnight.



(Spoken)

Honey, is it morning yet? It ain't, well, goodnight...
