If I Could Put Them All Together
George Jones · I Wanta Sing [Epic] [1977]
Julieanne does all she can to take your chains off me
The next in line is Caroline she has your long black hair
I can close my eyes and make believe that you are lying there.
If I could put them all together I'd have you
But that's more than any mortal man can do
So I'm drawn to the neon lights and tortured by the truth
If I could put them all together I'd have you.
--- Instrumental ---
I thought that Maryanne could keep me satisfied
But your memory stares back at me when I look into her eyes
It's hard to be contented with all the rest
Once you've loved the perfect woman what you have is the very best.
If I could put them all togeth I'd have you
But that's more than any mortal man can do
So I'm drawn to the neon lights and tortured by the truth
If I could put them all together I'd have you.
If I could put them all together I'd have you...
