There's No Justice
George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses
Oh, I told you if you walked out on me we were through
And you told me that it couldn't matter less to you
You turned me down for someone who wouldn't turn a hand for you
There no justice in this world anymore.
There no justice in this world anymore
Sometimes I ask myself what am I livin' for
If wrong can triumph over right
If we are licked before a fight
There no justice in this world anymore.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh, you turn me down because you knew I loved you so
And you tried to see exactly how far you could go
Well, I thought that you would change your mind
But there's no hope for now I find
There no justice in this world anymore.
There no justice in this world anymore
Sometimes I ask myself what am I livin' for
If wrong can triumph over right
If we are licked before the fight
There no justice in this world anymore...

As a defining voice of country music, Jones brings his signature emotional depth to this ballad, which explores themes of betrayal and the futility of seeking retribution. The track exemplifies his ability to convey raw vulnerability through his distinctive vocal style, characteristic of the outlaw country movement that flourished in the early 1970s. Recorded during a prolific period in his career, the song stands as a testament to his skill in crafting narratives of heartbreak that resonated deeply with audiences. Its enduring appeal lies in its simple yet powerful composition, allowing Jones's emotive delivery to carry the weight of the story without relying on complex arrangements.
