George Jones The Door Lyrics

The Door Lyrics

I've heard the sound of my dear old mama crying

And the sound of the train that took me off to war

And the awful sound of a thousand bombs exploding

And I wondered if I could take it anymore



There were times when they almost drove me crazy

But I did my best, I took it like a man

But who would think in my lonely room I'd hear it

The one sound in the world my heart can't stand



To hear that sound and to know it's really over

Through tear stained eyes I watched her walk away

And of earthquakes storms and guns and wars

Lord nothing has ever hurt me more

Than that lonely sound, the closing of the door



And of earthquakes storms and guns and wars

Lord nothing has ever hurt me more

Than that lonely sound, the closing of the door
