He was and will always be the Best

[@robertmorrison3013]

I think this is one of his best songs ever! Not a lot of my friends had even heard it until I played it for them!! I'm 55yrs old and only discovered it a few years back!! George has been my favorite since I was 10 or 11 !! Surely do miss him!!

This is My grandpa's song 'cause he would work all week and on the weekends play the guitar

The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work and dedication and who better to say it than George Jones.

[@aycie1956]

The story behind ‘Wood and Wire’ to me is that it reminds me of Dad. When I was nine years old my Dad bought me a ‘Sears and Roebuck’ guitar, and I put a set of ‘Black Diamond’ strings from the drug store in Shafter California. Now every time I hear this song I can hear my Dad say “when you gonna learn to play that thing?” LOL…Well, I guess that since my Dad has passed, I’m gonna have to wait till I see him in Heaven and say, still trying Dad, working it, working it.

I love this song because it's one of those country songs I have so much in common with. Putting responsibilities ahead of your dreams.

George Jones , was just great, he could take any lyric & make it his own, great song,, As for the black Diamond strings , I started out on them & for a time I used to break more than i could keep...

Fame... A dream put off for the familys needs He puts in eight down at the factory When he gets home his feet are tired If he had his way he'd been a workin' With his hands on wood and wire Saginaw spruce Tennessee maple Sears and Robuck Black Diamond Strings Late at night he fans that fire... When he grabs a hold of that wood and wire Days... years... his dream just disappeared They never once heard him complainin' Their every wish is his desire And without them he might have made it With his hands on wood and wire. Saginaw spruce Tennessee maple Sears and Robuck Black Diamond Strings Late at night he fans that fire... When he grabs hold of that wood and wire If u ask him. he will tell u... That he don't have no regrets Then he'll take his calloused fingers And let 'em fly across those frets Saginaw spruce Tennessee maple Sears and Robuck Black Diamond Strings Late a night he fans that fire When he grabs a hold of that wood and wire Late a night he fans that fire When he grabs a hold of that wood and wire...

Man alive!! I've been listening to George Jones songs for at least 60 years and I never even heard this song. I just wonder how many hundreds of songs he did sing!!! I still miss him a lot!!! There will surely never be another George Jones!!

[@justinmartin8724]

THAT song, is just a tad bit better than, "He Stopped Loving Her Today". Best Country song by my very favorite artist. George Jones
