George Glenn Jones (September 12, 1931 – April 26, 2013) was an American musician, singer and songwriter. He achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his best-known song "He Stopped Loving Her Today", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last twenty years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum"

Lyrics:
I can see you're advertising
Cause you keep giving me the eye
It won't take long to tell you in my song
I wanna be with you tonight
I've been badly needing bookings
And you're the best contact I've known
And I'm gonna be a hard act to follow
If you keep a-coming-on

I'm gonna be a hard act to follow
Since you have set the stage
Take me in, unlock the door
And let the tiger out of his cage
I don't need no dress rehearsal

Cause my heart don't beat that strong
But I'm gonna be a hard act to follow
If you keep a-coming-on

Well the introductions over
We've got our hearts in tune
Let me know before we start the show
Am I falling in love too soon
I've got a heart 'bout as big as Texas
About the size of the Astrodome
And I'm gonna be a hard act to follow
If you keep a-coming-on
