George Jones Best Guitar Picker Lyrics

Best Guitar Picker Lyrics

I didn't think too much about books and schoolin'

'Cause there was more important things to do

I'd just sit out in the yard and pick my old guitar

Tryin' to do what the big hillbillies do



I would sit there by the hour pickin' wildwood flower

Wore my little fingers to the bone

Well, I said I would never rest 'til I am the very best

The best guitar picker in this whole county



I said someday I know, I'll win my fame

One day all the world will know my name

I worked so very hard with that old guitar

Tryin' to do what the big hillbillies do



I would sit there all alone tryin' to pick out, old sweet home

While everyone was in the yard

Well, I said I would never stop 'til I've reached the very top

The best guitar picker in the whole county



The years have passed I haven't changed my mind

'Cause I still pick the guitar all the time

Because I know someday I'm bound to learn to play

All the things the big hillbillies do



I just sit her in my shop pickin', foggy mountain top

Tellin' everybody ain't that great

'Cause before I go to rest I'm gonna be the very best

The best guitar picker in this whole county



I would sit there by the hour pickin' wildwood flower

Wore my little fingers to the bone

But I said I would never rest til' I am the very best

The best guitar picker in this whole county
