Jones is the greatest country western singer the world has ever know. I was addicted and dependent on alcohol by the time I was 18. I drank everyday up until about 10 years ago. The only reason I quit is because heroin and bnboose got too expensive together, and I had to pick one. Quitting booze was easy compared to that shit. Clean and sober for 7 years now, at 37 years old. George, you got me through a lot, and this track gets me everytime. I love you old friend.
I am 26 and was drinking over half a 30 pack every night for 5 years, quit drinking 3 weeks ago. This song really means alot to me, and reminds me im not the only one who has been through this...god bless George Jones, may he rest in country heaven
stick with it man 26 is an early out live life. for me drinking was a place to hide from those choices but march 28 2023 i will be clean and sober 20 years i didnt quit until 43.
Stick with it Craig. The pros heavily outweigh the cons. I went through a spell for a few years, and can relate to some degree. It was a way of masking what I needed to deal with. You can do it brother.
My #PoemADay is "Choices" The smart choice is the one to make But the easy choices are the ones we take Then when it's to late it was a mistake The Hard Choices Consider for God Sake!
Been an Alcoholic most of my life, plenty of times I’ve cried to George’s voice. When you can relate to the music it speaks to the soul. If I had any twin who was a damn singer and song writer, it was George Jones. I was a train headed downhill with no brakes, and I still struggle with the pain of regret and addiction. RIP George, your voice still lives on.
Ta heck with these other dudes tryna make a comparison or tryna compare him to other artists. I agree with you, George Jones r.i.p was and still is the greatest voice in country music
To me, this is the best country song ever written cause it represents the life I chose with drugs and drinking and now I am paying for those mistakes. I used to listen to this song in my darkest hour and now I stand in the Light. Things are much better now thanks to God, Jesus, and the Spirit. All glory be to the Trinity but thank you George for the piece of your heart you left with us.
hydrolic1 Amen brother! May Christ give you all the riches of His glory and all knowledge and spiritual understanding of His will for the glory of God!
I was literally weeping at his funeral. Such a big part of my childhood and my grandma's favorite singer. She still has several records of his from years ago. Man, thankfully we'll always have his music to remember him. The sad part is that I was never able to take my grandma to a concert, I was looking to do it during his farewell tour but that never happened. RIP George.
Yes this is aka john. ETP ELIJAH and jesus said he would be with us until the end of the age or world. Also he said I will CLOTHE you with them all ornaments as a bride.. But listen 2 watch everyone you LOVE disappear most to the flames. It's not easy but it must be done evil has to stop..
Now that I’m closer to the end of my life, than the beginning , this song really speaks to me on a personal level. We don’t realize when we’re young , how the choices we made then, will weigh so heavily on our minds when we’re older. Whether they were good or bad, we will live and surely die with the choices we’ve made. Thank you Mr. Jones for all the music. RIP.
its been said many times, you will never ever ever replace george jones.. he was an true legend and the world still truly doesn't know how great of a loss he is to country music today, without george and hank and johnny cash, country music is pure shit.
you are right but does their music play on today's radio anymore, no. It's the new country bullshit that makes no sense. I have respect for all country legends. My point was that todays country has lots its heart and soul.
my mother who passed a way way too early Sunday may 15 2015 she was a true George Jones fan,Lord she cryed her eyes when this man passed on,so mama n George RIP . . .
@@coloursoftherainbow8399, may have passed from a broken heart, George Jones passed, April 26, 2013, Jeff's momma passed, May 15, 2015, may not have, but never know. Rip folks.
I heard of this song shortly before typing this, when I learned that Alan Jackson sang his own hit "Pop a Top" then abruptly switched to singing this song. Once he finished, rather than bask in the applause, he got off the stage & into his bus as fast as he could. George & Nancy Jones, watching the show from their home, were delighted to see Alan stand up for him that way.
My grandfather passed away about five years ago, and George Jones was his favorite country artist. It's hard to explain, but every time I listen to him, I get so emotional and it takes me back to great times with my grandfather. Man I would do anything to have him back and for us to be able to listen to Jones one more time together.
George Jones what great voice for the land of country music long live George in this life and in the next. my dad loved hearing George Jones sing while stationed in mannheim Germany in the u.s. army. atleast George Jones played music for the little man in life not the big people around him Jones great artist.
Have a vague memory of someone (details escape me) basically he said once George got into his "Vocal Gymnastics" everyone was just blown away (they were his contemporary Stars just singing with him)
The greatest showman and singer. The epitome of country music. I think everyone can rested to this song no matter what they have done or not in their life. Unlike some, George Jones acknowledged the demons that he had endured all of his life, and tried to fight the wrongs. We all have vices. Whether it's drinking, smoking, cussing, gambling, gluttony, etc. No one is perfect on this Earth. George Jones sang a lot of songs that touched peoples lives over the years, but this one is a masterpiece.
I'm an "ole" country boy that grew up on country music. George Jones was a favorite of mine and this song blessed me. I'm thankful that George made a choice for Jesus before he passed on and that is one choice i made that I'll never regret.
Im 19 and I remember listening to you with my mom and dad when I was 8. In a way, you were always apart of our family and we were sad to see you go. We will always remember you in our hearts and most important our memories. R.I.P. George "No Show" Jones
Hahaha Alan stood up for George, when cma told him he couldn't sing his whole song, Alan as a message too cma song some of George's song... that's why George said that to Alan in the beginning.
Alan Jackson gave the bird to the suits, and wasn't a damned thing they could do. He was their biggest cash cow, and he said, " You don't treat a legend like that " .
Hey, I was born and raised in the concrete canyons of Manhattan, NYC...so if there's anyone who knows C & W music, it's me !! ( smile ) I love George Jones, a very gifted singer/performer. I put him right up there with Hank Williams Sr,...well almost. lol Guess I just love C & W music. Rest in peace George, you were special, and this was perhaps your best song !.
+Joe Furlong Did you, perchance, listen to WHN? I've lived in West Virginia all my life, but lived for trips to NYC to hear WHN. WHN and George Jones, two country legends.
+Joe Furlong Having lived in West Virginia, I could get WHN only sporadically, and then very faintly, as 1050 in New York is very directional. One of their jocks Bob "The Wizard" Wayne was from Farmington, West Virginia, about 8 miles up the road from where I live, and in my home county. He died in 1990. I also talked to Lee Arnold, Del DeMontreux, and many others on the request line.
I love that he started with, Pop A Top. Great way to- once again- publicly thank and acknowledge Alan Jackson. Both men were/are the best in country music.
I saw George for the first time when I was 14, my Uncle who was a huge fan took me. His songs have gotten me through some major heartache. He sung the truth and held nothing back. If there was a George Jones today country radio wouldn't play it and that is a great injustice to this generation. He was true class that will live on in his songs.
I have listened to this song for a many year.Now I go to Church and we are going to play this song next Sunday.I play with my sister Mary my nieces Brook and Tyra and nephew Chris.came any Sunday and listen to our message our pastor are great.
I loved George Jones, when I heard he had passed away, I cried for three days. I grew up listening to his music in the sixties. No one else had the sadness in their voice that he did!
Oh his voice got better with age and it was always great. I love this song He just got better and better. Love you George. He made some tough choices like most everybody does but man he put it out in his music and made it big. Him and Tammy were top of their game and so glad we have their music to enjoy. Miss them.
As long as there's one George Jones fan left, he'll live forever. He'll be gone when all the lives that he's touched fade away, and that'll be a long time coming.
My man, oh how I miss your voice- singing my life in your words...this song, so late in our lives, yes- even this one tells my life's story....how many of us- fell in love with your music, by the stories you told out of the pages of our very lives, the lives of every man and woman--- RIP and I sure miss waiting for your next chapter in my life...FLY EASY, GEORGE
This is how music is supposed to be... I'm sorry but can we please bring back our old school country singers???? RIP Mr. George Jones... aka No Show Jones gotta love him
My parents got the album that had this song on it for my friend Matthew Christmas of 1999. We were dating at the time. Of all the guys I've dated before he was the only one I kept a real strong friendship with. We were there for each other in good times & bad. Our friendship is like brother & sister. I called him Hermono which is Spanish for brother and he called me Hermonita which is Spanish for little Sister. He went on to be with the Lord April 20th 2014 Easter Sunday. I miss him Dearly.
I know he always said this, and in my heart I know he meant it, but I could not live with that, but later in life I knew the true meaning of this song, for i surely made some wrong ones, but having our son was the best choice I ever made, and I thank u for that, always, God chose to take u home too soon
l agree with you, indeed George Jones is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days….
"Choices" is the greatest song by George Jones. Ever. This timeless country classic should have spent at least 4 weeks at #1 for "The Possum" back in 1999, yet this did not hit the Billboard top 20.
All the years I knew of George Jones, i really did not listen to his music. Now, it makes my skin crawl to listen.....absolutely the greatest.....I wish I had seen him live.
Amen brother i love true country am a writer an singer and i had the chance to meet my hero one time in Corinth Mississippi and last time i heard him his voice was up to par because he had something wrong i knew then something wasn't right but he went on pushing his self for his fans i cried when i heard the news of him passing he was the greatest country singer of all time him and Hank and the Hag will be timeless he is up in the heavenly chor with Cash .Waylon,Jerry Reed ,Hank,Pasty Cline
iam 57 years old live in canada new brunswick it breaks my heart i never got to see george never had the money to go see him best ever missed forever terry
If you hear george on the radio there's no guessing it's him these new singers all sound the same. I met mr. Jones and he didn't mind talking to his fans you can also tell he did it for the love not the money
Some song are best left to one singer. No one else can do justice to the song. This is a prime example. No one sings this one like Deacon George. Bless you, sir.
R qsdsdd aasqs sxq sqsexws the same ☺️ r the same place 💕 and the other day sqsexws the same place as szqwzqa and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and beyond and
Singing along, George ...yes, indeed, we do live and die with the choices that we make ..thank you and missing country legends like you and Merle, Johnny, Hank ...and the music that you do play and share ... Thanks for posting ...
Jones is the greatest country western singer the world has ever know.
I was addicted and dependent on alcohol by the time I was 18.
I drank everyday up until about 10 years ago.
The only reason I quit is because heroin and bnboose got too expensive together, and I had to pick one.
Quitting booze was easy compared to that shit.
Clean and sober for 7 years now, at 37 years old.
George, you got me through a lot, and this track gets me everytime.
I love you old friend.
And always will be❤
There is not a so called todays country singer that would even make a pimple on the ass of the Legend George Jones.
the best country music singer that ever was.
I am 26 and was drinking over half a 30 pack every night for 5 years, quit drinking 3 weeks ago. This song really means alot to me, and reminds me im not the only one who has been through this...god bless George Jones, may he rest in country heaven
stick with it man 26 is an early out live life. for me drinking was a place to hide from those choices but march 28 2023 i will be clean and sober 20 years i didnt quit until 43.
its a lot. its two words.... you should get back to drinking
Stick with it Craig. The pros heavily outweigh the cons. I went through a spell for a few years, and can relate to some degree. It was a way of masking what I needed to deal with. You can do it brother.
My #PoemADay is "Choices"
The smart choice is the one to make
But the easy choices are the ones we take
Then when it's to late it was a mistake
The Hard Choices Consider for God Sake!
We use to booze Cruz and play this song when I was back in HS 20 yrs ago. Great times. Yeah I was an alcoholic but I would do it all over again
Been an Alcoholic most of my life, plenty of times I’ve cried to George’s voice. When you can relate to the music it speaks to the soul. If I had any twin who was a damn singer and song writer, it was George Jones. I was a train headed downhill with no brakes, and I still struggle with the pain of regret and addiction. RIP George, your voice still lives on.
How are you doing?
I’m also an alcoholic. I take it day by day. It’s a struggle but tomorrow is another day to keep going.
Not an alcoholic but know God can heal just believe in him
It's time to make a decision.
I know how you feel I’ve been alcoholic my entire life. I’m 64 years old and that looks like no changes could happen now.
George Jones was and will always be the best country voice of all time
Merle is close
I love George too, but in my opinion Johnny Cash was and always will be the best.
Kenny D
Roger Underwood kk
Ta heck with these other dudes tryna make a comparison or tryna compare him to other artists. I agree with you, George Jones r.i.p was and still is the greatest voice in country music
My favorite song I have been listening to him from 1960s
16 years clean and sober for me. Thank you George for your example. This song means so much to me!
Congratulations on making it almost 17! Depending on when you posted this!
Congratulations, God Bless you, my moma was a substance abuse counselor! One more day!
I've been sober 21 and half years now. I loved George then and love him still. ❤️
Me too big guy! 7 years clean today!
10 years sober - song hits home - praise Jesus Christ
George Jones still today 2021 one of the best country singer ever.
🔥🔥🔥❤️
He and Keith Whitley were the best to ever step to a microphone
Im with u buddy cheers 🍺
I agree 💯!!
@@thelifeofnikkimarie9445 you are right he is a true league and still will be bad ass artist cheers 🍺 🍺 🚬
To me, this is the best country song ever written cause it represents the life I chose with drugs and drinking and now I am paying for those mistakes. I used to listen to this song in my darkest hour and now I stand in the Light. Things are much better now thanks to God, Jesus, and the Spirit. All glory be to the Trinity but thank you George for the piece of your heart you left with us.
Stand fast in the Liberty wherewith Christ has made us free! I have a similar testamony my friend, God is good all the time!

Thanks My friend!
I no I am in that spot 48

Thank you George.I finally know what the words mean.after 33yrs of being a drunk. I finally made my choice. I quit.love you thank you for this song
Good for you man, good luck!
That's good to hear. Happy for you. God bless
Wow!congrats man. 33yrs is a long time. I'm only going on 37.
Joe Castleberry Good for you! Congrats! :)
It is hard to give up
I only did 10 years in a bottle
Thank God
I was literally weeping at his funeral. Such a big part of my childhood and my grandma's favorite singer. She still has several records of his from years ago. Man, thankfully we'll always have his music to remember him. The sad part is that I was never able to take my grandma to a concert, I was looking to do it during his farewell tour but that never happened. RIP George.
there's absolutely no one like you , you will always be number one.
George was awesome. Country is dead now. Our legends have all passed on !
That's why they call them legends because they are always there even after death some live on by statues and some they live on in their music
@Cynthia Baker you are right! Go Willie....last man standing!!
Yes this is aka john. ETP ELIJAH and jesus said he would be with us until the end of the age or world. Also he said I will CLOTHE you with them all ornaments as a bride.. But listen 2 watch everyone you LOVE disappear most to the flames. It's not easy but it must be done evil has to stop..
Whos here in 2020 listening to real country music?
U mean they still make country music? It's Dead
@@Elandycamino Dolly Parton still puts some good stuff out. If you listen to bluegrass, that's the closest thing to classic country today.
I listen to a lot of Classic Country way better than today...
Listen to a song 1,000 times and then get the urge to listen one more time and you got George Jones.
George is pretty easy to listen to. The classics are all I listen to.
Now that I’m closer to the end of my life, than the beginning , this song really speaks to me on a personal level. We don’t realize when we’re young , how the choices we made then, will weigh so heavily on our minds when we’re older. Whether they were good or bad, we will live and surely die with the choices we’ve made. Thank you Mr. Jones for all the music. RIP.
A great story told in a song, Thank you George Jones.
its been said many times, you will never ever ever replace george jones.. he was an true legend and the world still truly doesn't know how great of a loss he is to country music today, without george and hank and johnny cash, country music is pure shit.
Pardon me, but Merle, Kris, Willie and I disagree. They were Giants. But they were not the ONLY giants.
you are right but does their music play on today's radio anymore, no. It's the new country bullshit that makes no sense. I have respect for all country legends. My point was that todays country has lots its heart and soul.
***** Agreed.
***** Dwight Yoakum, George Strait & Brad Paisley are the only that I can think of that are still TRYING to keep it traditional.
Trina McLauchlin Jamey Johnson. Give him a listen. And not just his radio stuff.
my mother who passed a way way too early Sunday may 15 2015 she was a true George Jones fan,Lord she cryed her eyes when this man passed on,so mama n George RIP . . .
Jeff Edwards What caused her early death.

I'm sorry for your loss, lost my mom the same day.
there will never be another George Jones. And that deeply saddens me. One of the realest and most genuine Musical artists I've ever heard.

Country music does that! Peace
Left because the good Lord needed his company but am glad he left us his testimony in this masterpiece...
Love GEORGE JONES, Choices, Has so much meaning, a good song.
theresa kearney he is an artist of great history, I like his songs
@theresa Absolutely I love all his songs..
Nice to meet you here, how are you doing today?
I don't see why a bunch of people don't like George Jones he's the best singer ever
I agree completely he was the Greatest singer of them all by far.
Some people just dont know real original country music when they hear it.
George Jones what great voice for the land of country music long live George in this life and in the next. my dad loved hearing George Jones sing while stationed in mannheim Germany in the u.s. army. atleast George Jones played music for the little man in life not the big people around him Jones great artist.
waylon jennings once said if we all could sound like we wanted to wed all sound like george jones r.i.p. mr jones thank you for the music
Have a vague memory of someone (details escape me) basically he said once George got into his "Vocal Gymnastics" everyone was just blown away
(they were his contemporary Stars just singing with him)
You beat me to the punch. Whenever I think of George Jones, I think of Waylon's comment. May they both Rest in Peace.
2024 and George Jones is still the man!
Aman 😂
Dedicated to my Dad. He's been gone for 3 years. He always said this song was about his life. Miss you, Daddy!
+Twilla Brown This song is about a lot of people, but it takes an intelligent man to admit it.
Same here I'm living that life as well. But it's the choices that makes us who we are.
nice to hear! :)
I'm sorry for your loss.
I think of my Dad when I listen to this song as well. I miss you Dad ❤❤❤
Ain't much better in life than hearing George Jones sing. Miss that man. So glad I met him. He's got a pretty choir behind him in Heaven now.
THE BEST COUNTRY SINGER EVER! Thank God that in Jesus we can have forgiveness for the wrong choices we've made. RIP Georgie boy.
AMEN

Barbara Manning you are absolutely right Barbara, God is the ultimate and has power over everything.
Catch yourselves on - leave god or religion out of it
There are literally 1.1k sad individuals to dislike this song by a country LEGEND
Im 19 and I remember listening to you with my mom and dad when I was 8. In a way, you were always apart of our family and we were sad to see you go. We will always remember you in our hearts and most important our memories.
R.I.P. George "No Show" Jones
going to rehab in 2 days, very inspirational song. thank you George
Hahaha Alan stood up for George, when cma told him he couldn't sing his whole song, Alan as a message too cma song some of George's song... that's why George said that to Alan in the beginning.
Buck Town WOW awesome! Thanks for sharing
Alan Jackson gave the bird to the suits, and wasn't a damned thing they could do. He was their biggest cash cow, and he said, " You don't treat a legend like that " .
@Christopher Dibble Later in Cash's life he stated Dwight Yoakam was his favorite Country singer.
Praying all young people will really listen to the words like I did. My life is alcohol and drug free! Amen
Not every young person is like that.
Me too
Iike my country music 🎶 like I love my drugs and alcohol... in excess moderation
My life is this song.....sadly.....i still drink
I hear you sister.

So true
1 of the greatest singers of all time. I got 2 see him live❤❤
I got to see him in person.
I got to see him in person, sounded Great.
I love that he started with, Pop A Top. Great way to- once again- publicly thank and acknowledge Alan Jackson. Both men were/are the best in country music.
An awesome callback to Alan Jackson standing up for George Jones at the CMA awards.
@@engrownhare2427 One of the great stories. Real recognizing real.
The Possum is a Legend R.I.P. Love YA.
Greatest of all time
I saw George for the first time when I was 14, my Uncle who was a huge fan took me. His songs have gotten me through some major heartache. He sung the truth and held nothing back. If there was a George Jones today country radio wouldn't play it and that is a great injustice to this generation. He was true class that will live on in his songs.
I love Jesus and when George is singing it reminds me of what it means to.be saved and the death of my wicked ways ... I PRAY !!!
They dont make em like this guy anymore!
very true
Tony P that's for sure, brother- man
Tony P play now .

Thank you Possum for the wonderful music. Your voice was one of a kind. We miss you.
George was the greatest
Kaiden Jack I share that philosophy too
You can say that again and again and again.

One of the VERY few songs that ever made me cry. Too real for me.
My precious husband of 62 yrs passed in Aug 2019 and he said many times that George was the greatest of all time. I agree.

A testimony by country music Legend...the old possum himself...praise Jesus! Rest in peace George
I think this is not only his best song but country musics best song

I like his honesty.

The songs George sang were about his life,he told a story,he was the greatest.
George was one of the best and may I say the BEST of the Best.
God Bless George Jones.
Thank you George.
I love this man ; he fought off all the demons in his life was a help of his wife. And he prevailed. God bless him and rest in peace, George.
Damn , George Jones lived every song he ever sang. Simply the best of all time hands down.
song gives me goosebumps every time… what a legend and inspiration this man was
I know he always said this, and in my heart I know he meant it, but I could not live with that, but later in life I knew the true meaning of this song, for i surely made some wrong ones, but having our son was the best choice I ever made, and I thank u for that, always, God chose to take u home too soon
l agree with you, indeed George Jones is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days….
God, this so resonate with me, burning the candle at both ends, man I miss this legendary singer to today
Lessening to George Jones sing today. Love hearing George s voice his singing is always touching and the best. No one like George Jones best
Best musicbever.there will never be singer's that can live up to Loretta Lynn,Conway,or George Jones.
Liz Williamson Higuera you are very correct my dear
@Liz absolutely I agree with you..
Nice to meet you here, how are you doing today?
I lived a life like he's talking about for a long time
A true piece of country royalty. Impacting generations of country music lovers. You will be missed sir.
"Choices" is the greatest song by George Jones. Ever. This timeless country classic should have spent at least 4 weeks at #1 for "The Possum" back in 1999, yet this did not hit the Billboard top 20.
All the years I knew of George Jones, i really did not listen to his music. Now, it makes my skin crawl to listen.....absolutely the greatest.....I wish I had seen him live.
Truly a Country music Legend!

I couldn't agree with u more cheers 🍺 🍺
Rest in Peace brother George. You will live on forever in the hearts of true country music lovers
Amen brother i love true country am a writer an singer and i had the chance to meet my hero one time in Corinth Mississippi and last time i heard him his voice was up to par because he had something wrong i knew then something wasn't right but he went on pushing his self for his fans i cried when i heard the news of him passing he was the greatest country singer of all time him and Hank and the Hag will be timeless he is up in the heavenly chor with Cash .Waylon,Jerry Reed ,Hank,Pasty Cline
iam 57 years old live in canada new brunswick it breaks my heart i never got to see george never had the money to go see him best ever missed forever terry
I'm a "city slicker" and even I know REAL country when I hear it haha. This song hits the heart man...much respect.
no show jones, showed up and was amazing.
If you hear george on the radio there's no guessing it's him these new singers all sound the same. I met mr. Jones and he didn't mind talking to his fans you can also tell he did it for the love not the money
Fantastic to have these videos for memories, Jones will be missed by millions
Some song are best left to one singer. No one else can do justice to the song. This is a prime example. No one sings this one like Deacon George. Bless you, sir.
To each its own we all live with choices that we've made, good n bad, ya live n ya learn..
The best country singer that ever lived! Love his voice
