乔治·格伦·琼斯(George Glenn Jones,1931年9月12日-2013年4月26日),美国著名乡村音乐歌手,自1950年代起开始享誉美国流行乐坛,艺术生涯长达50余年,一生中有150多首乐曲登上美国乡村音乐榜。他被认为是酒吧音乐(Honky Tonk)风格的代表人物,1992年跻身乡村音乐名人堂,2012年获格莱美终身成就奖。
乔治·琼斯最引以为傲的资本那就是他那无与伦比的嗓子,他的声音能够把很平庸的歌词唱出不一般的韵味。
2013年4月26日,因病于田纳西州纳什维尔逝世。
第42届格莱美最佳乡村男歌手George Jones 《Choices》
Chorus:
I've had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
No, I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying
With the choices I've made.
I was tempted
By an early age I found
I liked drinkin'
Oh, and I never turned it down
There were loved ones
But I turned them all away
Now I'm living and dying
With the choices I've made.
Chorus:
I've had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
No, I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying
With the choices I've made.
--- Instrumental ---
I guess I'm payin'
For the things that I have done
If I could go back
Oh, Lord knows I'd run
But I'm still losin'
This game of life I play
Living and dying
With the choices I've made.
Chorus:
I've had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying
With the choices I've made.
--- Instrumental ---
Living and dying
With the choices I've made...
