Artist/Band: George Jones
Lyrics for Song: I've Been Out A-Walkin'
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - George Jones



Sorry I'm so late, but I've been out a-walkin'

Trying to find a way to tell you what I think you already know

I'd never want to hurt you, cause darling I still love you

But things aren't like they used to be - it's time for lettin' go

I wasn't out there lookin', but a month ago last Sunday

I met someone just like you in line at the grocery store

We've been spending time together, yeah she knows all about you

The truth is she can give me what you can't anymore

(Chorus:)

I know I promised you forever

I never thought I'd see this day



If only I could write the pages

Our story wouldn't end this way

I feel so much better knowing we could have this moment

But it looks like it may rain soon, and it's getting kind of late

Hon', I'll always bring you roses every time I come to visit

The caretaker's waiting he wants to close the gate

(Repeat chorus)

It wouldn't end this way


I've Been Out A-Walkin'

George Jones delivers a haunting performance of 'I've Been Out A-Walkin'', a staple of his discography that epitomizes the raw emotion of country music. Recorded during his prolific era, the track showcases his signature baritone and deep, resonant voice, characteristic of his work on albums like 'A Good Year For The Roses'. The song reflects the themes of wandering and heartache that defined much of Jones's career, capturing the essence of the outlaw country sound he helped popularize. As a defining recording in his catalog, it stands as a testament to his ability to convey profound sorrow and resilience through his music.
