George Jones - Our Private Life lyrics

[Verse One] Well you just picked up the latest issue Hot out of Nashville And you can't wait to read the latest news All about the big stars and their reckless way of living Who got drunk last week and who got sued No, you can't wait to read about someone not showing up Or shindig number two with ole Saint Lou And you're all excited, all up-tight about our private lives We'll give it up for people just like you [Verse Two] Now you're reading now how so-and-so Just left his wife and children And you can't understand why he up and packed And on the next page you see where he's working in Milwaukee And the girl that joined his group is really stacked Now right away you know just why the whole thing happened And you're on your way to spread the latest news Well that's one more reason why We don't have a bit of private life 'Cause we give it up for people just like you But we're always glad you want to read about us And the things you read may make you want to cuss But we don't mind it at all about you knowing what we do 'Cause we gladly gave up privacy for you [Verse Three] Now you turn the page and read about a club down in Atlanta Where your favorite singer played and drank last night Everybody there was really doing some heavy drinking But your idol He should have never got that tight Oh he should have been the only one there sober After all, he only worked from 9 to 2 Have you ever stopped to think That he's only a human too And he came down there to pick for you (little darlin') Came to be seen, raise Cane, and to keep on singing for you
