George Jones There`s The Door Lyrics

There`s The Door Lyrics

I wandered in 'round midnight like I've done so many times

She was sittin' at the table, there were no tears in her eyes

It seemed so much unlike her to be so much at ease

She took a sip of coffee and softly said to me



"There's the mantle where we keep our wedding picture

There's the bedroom where we make both love and war

And there's the ring that keeps on slipping off your finger

There's no reason we should go on anymore and there's the door"



So I'm back here on this bar stool, my whole world gone to hell

Behind the bottles there's a mirror where a fool can see himself

If I was the man I should be and not the one I am

I would go back there this minute and beg for one more chance



There's the jukebox where I wasted all those quarters

Oh, there's a lady trying to get me out on the floor

And there's a chance the one I love would still forgive me

It's a step that I just never took before

And there's the door, and there's the door
