Lyrics:
I don't need your rockin' chair
Your Geritol or your Medicare
Well I still got Neon in my veins
This grey hair don't mean a thing
I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body's old but it ain't impaired
Well I don't need your rockin' chair
I ain't ready for the junkyard yet
Cause I still feel like a new corvette
It might take a little longer but I'll get there
Well I don't need your rockin' chair
I don't need your rockin' chair
Your Geritol or your Medicare
Well I still got Neon in my veins
This grey hair don't mean a thing
I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body's old but it ain't impaired
Well I don't need this rockin' chair
Retirement don't fit in my plans
You can keep your seat I'm a gonna stand
An Eskimo needs a Fridgedaire
Like I need your rockin' chair
I don't need your rockin' chair
Your Geritol or your Medicare
Well I still got Neon in my veins
This grey hair don't mean a thing
I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body's old but it ain't impaired
Well I don't need your rockin' chair
My body's old but it ain't impaired
Well I don't need your rockin' chair
Uh huh.
I love this song, and at 64 and 2/3, the older I get the better I love it. I unloaded a pick up truck full of mulch,busing a shovel and a rake only, in 4 hours.🤣🤣🤣
My Dad's favorite song, mine too!
There's no doubt about it George Jones was one hell of a country singer.
George Joneb was real,,genuine, country.
Thank You
POSSUM!!! I don't need No rockin Chair! I'm 67. Still can't keep this possum in a cage! I love my Georges. 🎶😊
Happy Birthday George. We miss ya. Celebrating your birthday with mine today. I grew up listening to the Opossum my whole life. Its been a great 54 years. Ill see ya soon
I don't need no rocking chair, but I need George Jones to come back to life❤😢
I was born in 99 and I’ll tell you there will never be another opossum!! REST EASY MR GEORGE JONES
George roared into the 90's under full power. This song is proof of that!
He quit drinking. Imagine the shows if he'd only drank in moderation.💙💙💙
Damn right!! Hail the possum
You can say that again. He killed everybody without a doubt in his Day. No body to hold a match to. I still dont think luke colmes is the only dimond in the dirt. Just wait till i get my stuff out There. Lol
The POSSUM!😉👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
There only bee. One George Jones
When George did the little figure 8 motion with his guitar, you knew it was going to be a good song
Possum, you don't need a rocking chair because you are flying with the Lord's Choir! Miss you lots. Your voice and your legend will live for a long long time.
My brother was handicapped and didn't get out to do much of the stuff we normally take for granted. We both loved classic country music and grew up on it. I made it a point to get my brother out to the George Jones concert at our county fair when he came to town - ran him in a wheelchair over all kinds of fair cords just to barely get there on time. Looked over and saw him singing along to the Corvette song. My brother passed away this February. His caregiver knew how much he liked country music and George Jones - and suggested this. They played I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair at his funeral.
Sorry for your loss ❤️
This comment is 2 yrs old but my prayers for your family. ❤️
First song I played in my truck’s new stereo in 94? Gold
How can you not love it?? Pure magic. Look how happy the musicians are, to be backing him! We miss ya' George, who's gonna' fill *YOUR* shoes?
Nobody will ever fill his shoes!
@@miztersport8395 Right? How I miss those golden days of the 80s and 90s. Not a single soul on radio compares now.
Look how happy George is! I'm used to him singing sad ballads and crying to his songs.
@@natalieshannon7659 Right? He seemed to really be havin' a ball at this show. I wish I could have been there!
Certainly not any of these new so called country singers.
Hand To God! Saw George Feb, 25, 2021. Alost like seeing Jesus without the judgment!
There is no one like the possum ❤
God is so lucky and so is Jesus Christ, they get to hear George Sing in heaven!
At 81 years old, This song is my song of resistance to giving in and giving up! Listen and sing along many times a week and it energizes me every time👍😏
Now you're back singing with George, Ron. Rest in peace
Damn didn't know he moved on. Rest easy Ron Gaddis
goosebumps!!! that crowd is FEELIN it!!!! 🔥🔥
Way to make the old feel young and to spread the message that no matter your age you can still have a zest for life.
heart's still broken- I can't believe he's gone...hard core real live COUNTRY music- my 57 years of listening drinking cryin laughin soberin fightin makin up (smile) lovin ah yes- George could SANG it all! Yeah I'm Southern- PROUD n lovin n missin my George
Met George about 8 months before he passed...felt like a lil kid ....raised on GJ...loved him til the end..now I still do...hoping I'll feel this way at 83...53 now....think I'll make it
My mama. Rest her soul. Today would be her birthday. She raised me on George and all the great oldies. So kudos to mama I’m still listening. ❤️❤️
Nice memories George is my favorite it's 2023 still listening to his songs on my playlist. How are you Trish ?
@@ericsmith1786 good finally getting some Tennessee sunshine. I love it.
@@trish9900 Nice to here from you. I'm from California. What are your plans for today ?
@@trish9900 Hello
God bless you .....
Best voice country ever had. No one could bring it like George.
Love the way they drive fans mad
To watch your 84 year old granny singing this and blasting it on her tv all day, ..haha damn I miss her.
Rip Susie K. You was a tough ass woman, an outlaw and rebel in your own right,...yet so gentle and kind,.... you'll never be forgotten. ❤️💯
Miss her stories of helping her daddy run the Steele as a little girl, getting in trouble for cooking a whole chicken, feathers and all at age 10 cause she was mad at having to catch it and kill it....oh she had stories for days. ...and some odd songs that I've never heard besides her singing them,...like a froggie went a courting and he did ride um hum ....haha 😆! She sure was a dandy.
4/1934- 11/2020. She lived to be 86, but had dementia, so in her later years she didn't talk or sing as much anymore, but always loved listening to the last days. Ended up losing her to covid about this time last year. I'm listening to all her old favs.
George Jones awesome greatest ever nobody can replace him 😂🤠 country music 🎼🎶 at its best 😜
I can’t get enough of this one 👑 RIP to the King of Country George Jones 🎉👑💯
George Strait is the King of Country.
George Jones would never want to be called "king" He is the possum.
I called him the King 👑 of Country.I don’t think it offended anybody but you ☝️.Don’t even listen to George Straight like that.
George was always my Mom's favorite, and in turn, he became mine. Her favorite was The Grand Tour. Fast forward to when I became a father myself, the first song that I taught my daughter was the Grand Tour. She's 15 now, and can still sing it, no problem. Like the Possum, my mom is no longer with us, but her legacy lives on, and so will his! Thank God for great moms and real country music!
O lord....the mullets....and George's still golden pipes, those low notes people!
Growing up in Texas in the 60's, I was never a fan of country music, and truthfully, I'm still not. I was born and raised in Port Arthur and I was a Janis Joplin fan - rock and roll all the way. But I LOVE me some George Jones! Some days I listen to him all day and I thank God for youtube and for all the good people who upload these old videos for our enjoyment.
How do you grow up in texas an not like country music
Gotta be one of the best performances I’ve ever seen, even if you’re not a country music fan how can George not make you want to move and rock with him?
this is great! I've never seen George with so much energy before lol he looks like he's havin a good ole time.
I love this video. He is having so much fun!
At age 18 to join special forces (A Ranger equivalent of the Israeli army) after 8 months training we ran-walked 70 kilometers in 28 hours no sleep.Full pack, I lugged more than my weight often 30 kilometers a night on foot patrol for 6 years and 2 wars -plus.YESTERDAY age 66 I gratefully received my rocking chair I love it Thank G-d.
Sure do miss ol George Jones,,,just so much great music
I’m not American, nor do I have any American genes. But this kinda music makes me homesick for a place I’ve never been, and makes me want to move to a farm outside a small town in Tennessee and live a simple, quiet life
George Jones is the King of Country music then and now
God rest all their soles and anyone who listens to this,been a long hard road with my mom and I'm puttin all to rest
say what you will there will never be another like him
There's no doubt about it George Jones was one hell of a country singer!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏✌️
I was at this concert in Knoxville, Tn...! On the first row. It was videotaped and I still have a copy. George was wired. I've seen him several times, but this was the best.
what year was this? had to be the early 90s
Lucky
You are so lucky to have been and seen the great George Jones perform.
What a country artist, and a showman. Love you, George! Your the best. RIP
He held the audience in the Palm of his hand he and the people loved it
Only the greats can do that!
You never needed the rocking chair George but I sure hope you're enjoying one up there anyway. Your work on earth is done. You deserve the rest. Thank you for leaving your talent here for us to enjoy. RIP
This song is so cornball. It’s horrible!!!
@@deepdiver3084 BUT YET YOU LISTENED ONLY TO BE A FNG TROLL
@@deepdiver3084
A Year Later
And you still couldn't comment back
Mic Dropped, Troll
Don't Be Mean About A Classic Masterpiece George Jones Song
That would've been me getting right up to the stage, cutting the buck with the rest of the folks who were going crazy watching the ONE and ONLY George Jones! He was having a blast that night, giving the people their money's worth and THEN some!
bad dog I regret that I never saw him in concert but this is my favorite video! When he starts dancing, you can see how much fun he's having. He definitely was NOT ready for the rocking chair! George was The All-time Greatest!
Tracy Lawrence killed it... great vocals! George Jones was one of a kind...
Tracy Lawrence sang one line of backup. 🙄🤦♀️
The Greatest of all time
Sure hated to lose YOU George!! Luv' ya man!
True.Its just great how much his fans loved him...
I went to Jones Country outside of Comesneil,Texas, and it just made me cry that George lost that beautiful place. RIP George Jones.
Gone but never forgotten rip possum
the king of country music
Greatest singer ever ! Love you George
I MISS GEORGE JONES 😢 😢
My sisters favourite. She saw him! The last of the Hank Williamsistic country bad boy!
Great song. Thank you George. We love you and miss you. RIP.......
No one can sing like George Jones, he's one of a kind.
Perfect voice for this song what a good performance. How are you Veronica ?
We love you George and miss you dearly. We love all your imperfections you make us all feel more human. Your just the best. Thanks for the ride.
He is the Man of Country Music in other words He is the King of Country Music
The King
Pure American Royalty right there. Possum on top and everyone there is having the time of a lifetime.
No Show Jones showed up that night. He was fired up!
There may be a 1000+ MULLETS in that arena and on that stage, but there is ONLY ONE GEORGE JONES!!! 😂🤣😂❤️❤️❤️
Now this us truly amazing reminds me of first time seen George long before he became no show Jones he lost his element for a minute but came back stronger then ever, before he passed went from all he'll Tammy and them went through, just like Johnny Cash with his pills, they both got back in for a minute but in the end they both quit but took such a toll on lives from doing for so long, it truly came back in long run lost two greats and reality how folks rolled in day didn't think twice till was to late, a damm Shame but true story, like we lost so many others mostly way to young, you all was a lot older, but no matter what genre's if music you come from don't let it take your life over, only imagine in this day what u could have been besides leaving us way to soon too Your potential...
A ''TRUE'' JONES BOY...WOOHOO...WE BAD-ASS.....
George was on fire. Wow what a great song
Real country music
i'am out of words… this is beyond awesome… RIP King George
Nah, he wouldn't want to be called king George. That George Strait.
This is the Possum!
George Jones est vraiment unique, il n`y aura jamais un autre comme lui. Seigneur ce que j`aime cet homme, il me fait me sentir vivante et bien dans ma peau. Il me fait relaxer quand je l`écoute. Lise Dubois
That's how we get down in the south..do it to it !! Rock'em George
We will never be able to have good times like this ever again 😞

He was a great guy and a really good singer RIP brother love you always ❤️
That was so cool when Mark Chestnut stepped out. Love that guys singing.
Tracy Lawrence also. Great video.
George Jones is a legendary singer that sticks in my ears, moreover "He Stopped Loving Hes Today" makes me sad 😢🎵💙🎶🥲
Daaayum. Dad and all always went to Grand Opery, to see George but all years no show Jones never showed up, the year I didnt go with everyone he showed up was a senior in high school, Dad got back and said holy shit no show finally showed up after all these years and put on a hell of a show, and I missed it,, but Dad and I seen him yrs later and it was amazing" he was top of his game only thing would have made it more was Miss Tammy💜
Yes nice memories. First time I heard it on the radio long time ago so good what a good lyrics I love this song it's 2023 still listening. How are you Kimmi ?
R.I.P to this legend thanks for the memories george
I believe it was Waylon Jennings that said if we could all sound the way we wanted, we’d all sound like George Jones. RIP Possum
He was the greatest! Still is.
George, PLEASE come to middle-Georgia again. I've seen your concerts five times and that's just not enough! I have so many of your cd's and dvd's. My nephew saw you in Macon a few years ago and this was his first concert! My brother started me listening to country music with your songs. We love you so much. Bring that guitar with you. Even if you don't play it, just hold it so you can make those fantastic moves with it! Love, Mary
GEORGE JONES...THE MASTER. ❤
I am a metal head by nature, but I love me some old school country music. And Mr. George Jones is one of my favorite entertainers of all time. And to the ones that say country music is sad or boring, open your eyes and ears.... George was ROCKIN' on this night!!
well put!! That's why many " metal heads " such as yourself like guys like George and Waylon. Good music is good music, regardless of genre. Incidentally, Waylon was a big fan of Metallica and James Hatfield and Waylon were pals. I mean no offence by the term "metalhead" by the way.
Tommy Petersen and don't forget about Hank Williams Jr
Jamie Shaffer michaelsummers
How many of his fan that been in the town that he was born I been there at least 100 time
@@tommypetersen2540 Exactly !! Look up James Hetfield's version of Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out of Hand , it is awesome ! ( Also no metalhead is going to get offended by calling them a metalhead, )
It doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this song it just gets better just to see how much he is enjoying it wow if only we had time machines
Nothing beats the “Uhh Huhhhh” at the end
I play this for my 71 year old daddy a lot. I’d have loved to met Mr Jones.
In April 2019, this is my favorite George Jones song.
Take notes young bucks. This is pure country gold
This man can sing, sing, sing. I just love him as all true country music fans do.
Debra Scott
You're 💯% right.
That has to be one of the wildest concerts. George is the man!
I love George Jones.
