Artist/Band: George Jones
Lyrics for Song: If We Don't Make It
Lyrics for Album: The President & The First Lady (George Jones & Tam [1996]



George Jones & Tammy Wynette



(Both)

If we don't make it, we've sure got a lot to forget.



(George)

It's just an empty two room flat but I still dream

Two rooms of hope and the world full of love, praying for better things

Our dreams came true but we are two, in silence here we sit

(Both)

If we don't make it we've sure got a lot to forget.



(Tammy)

Back when I made a coat by hand your hand always held mine

We only had one pair of shoes but that all we can wear at a time

If all our years just end with tears, not one will I regret

(Both)

If we don't make it we've sure got a lot to forget.



We may not make it but it makes me stop and think

I remember what when water was all we could afford to drink

And didn't have to hesitate to share our one last cigarette

If we don't make it we've sure got a lot to forget.



If we don't make it we've sure got a lot to forget...


If We Don't Make It

George Jones delivers a haunting performance on 'If We Don't Make It,' a track that exemplifies the raw emotional depth characteristic of his country music legacy. Recorded for The President & The First Lady, this collaboration with Tammy Wynette highlights the duo's ability to craft narratives of heartbreak and resilience. Jones's signature vocal style, known for its gravelly texture and profound vulnerability, drives the song's melancholic atmosphere, capturing the essence of a relationship facing its end. The recording stands as a testament to the enduring power of duets in the genre, blending personal storytelling with the polished production typical of mid-to-late 1990s country releases. It remains a poignant addition to Jones's discography, reflecting his continued relevance and mastery of the ballad format.
