Between My House and Town
George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses
Your no longer wanted hangin' around
I knew all along it would-a happened
So there this-a new place darlin', that I found.
And it's just on the outskirts of somewhere
The only traffic is downward bound
It's alright, to try our love 'cause I've been so far out
Perhaps the sun will go down between my house and town.
--- Instrumental ---
Please don't feel sorry darlin', 'cause you hurt me
Love just moved away for your, your little man
I could feel this bad, bad day a-comin'
So there's this new place darlin', that I plan.
And it's just on the outskirts of somewhere
The only traffic is downward bound
It's alright to cry out loud 'cause I've been so far out
So that the sun will go down between my house and town.
Yeah, the sun will go down between my house and town...

As part of a collection of personal narratives on the album, the track explores themes of isolation and longing, resonating with listeners who appreciate the genre's focus on individual struggle and resilience. This recording remains a testament to Jones's enduring legacy as one of the most influential vocalists in American country music history.
