Choices Lyrics

Performed by George Jones

Written by Billy Yates and Mike Curtis

(Chorus)
I've had choices
Since the day that I was born
There were voices
That told me right from wrong
If I had listened
No I wouldn't be here today
Living and dying
With the choices I made

I was tempted
By an early age I found
I liked drinkin'
Oh, and I never turned it down
There were loved ones
But I turned them all away
Now I'm living and dying
With the choices I made

(Repeat Chorus)

I guess I'm payin'
For the things that I have done
If I could go back
Oh, Lord knows I'd run
But I'm still losin'
This game of life I play
Living and dying
With the choices I made

(Repeat Chorus)

Living and dying
With the choices I made

@diablodan What language were you typing? It looked like English, but perhaps it was Japanese Romanji? I'm just sayin' that was the most incoherent babble I've read in quite awhile. I..honestly can't really say if I agree or disagree with your points, because I'm not sure what you're even attempting (and failing miserably) to say. That being said, I think you're being disrespectful to people that have seen the negative aspects of addiction. I am among those people, I grew up around it. It is almost exactly like being in a third-world prison. In no way something to make light of, or criticize others for standing against. I only pointed you out 'diablodan' because not only were you inconsiderate enough to belittle others opening up about truly terrible experiences, you were also ignorant enough to do so with absolutely atrocious grammar. Anyways, this song itself is beautiful. My favorite song from George Jones by far. Regardless of the subject: Addiction, marriage, parenting, education, career, the type of person you are; all these things require choices to be made, and so often in our short little life we don't get a second chance at those choices. I've had a lot of people in my life die suddenly, it has taught me the importance of choosing to make the most out of every single day, and choosing to let the ones you love most know it.

Iv got choices too! | Reviewer: diablodan | 3/16/11

1st of all sorry for all your losses. But y'all have to understand that theses were all their choices and there wasn't much more you could do for them. And for you bring the "God" person into this maybe you should have prayed harder. And for the Alcoholic wife didn't you know he was a an alike? what did you marry him to try and change him?

I pray right now that every person really listened to the words in this song. We lost our 21 year old son to an addiction. But he had "Choices" and a very strong loving Family. If you are in this situation, please, please pray and look for help. It is out there, just make the Right Choice...God Bless you...A loving Mom

the love of my life... | Reviewer: stacy | 2/23/10

My husband is an alcoholic but I still love him with all my heart. He has made some bad choices because of alcohol that almost ended our marriage and put me through some really tough times. We've only been married 2 and a half years and we should be on to a good marriage and a family but alcohol has ended him up in prison the last two winters which is hard on me too. Not only is he paying for his choices but so am I. I don't want my marriage to end. I hope with Gods help he will make the choice to be sober and let our marriage be what it should. To anyone else facing life with an alcoholic, I feel your pain, it's hard, If you will put God in your life and let him lead you it will all work out. My husband loves this song and I am sending the words to him in prison. May God Bless...
