Not What I Had In Mind - George Jones

Just thought I’d have a little fun and paint the town

I always said someday I’ll walk the line

But now she’s gone and I’m the bluest guy around

And that’s not exactly what I had in mind

I thought that I could play the field and be a clown

I broke the heart that loves me anytimes

Yes, I know that I’m the biggest fool in town

And that’s not exactly what I had in mind

I didn’t mean for thing to get so out of hand

I always meant to make it up in kind

But now she’s gone, she hate the very sight of me

And that’s not exactly what I had in mind

--- Instrumental ---

I told myself, go play around you’re young and free

To late I found that I was, oh so blind

I lost a love I never did deserve at all

But that’s not exactly what I had in mind

No, that’s not exactly what I had in mind…
