Too Wild Too Long
Too Wild Too Long is an album by American Country music artist George Jones released in 1987 on the Epic Records label.
Background
By 1987, a new generation of country stars, such as Randy Travis, Ricky Van Shelton, and Dwight Yoakam had emerged on the country music landscape. Consequently, some of the old guard were having a more difficult time remaining relevant on the charts, and this may help explain the modest showing of Jones's 47th studio album, which did not break the top ten on the Billboard albums chart and produced no hit singles. In a review upon its release, Country Music declared that Too Wild Too Long contained too many songs that relied on the myth of George Jones rather than the kind of songs that built the myth. Although none of the albums singles cracked the top 20, Jones's singing is characteristically stellar. Significant tracks include a cover of the Hank Williams song "I'm A Long Gone Daddy" and "One Hell Of A Song". "The U.S.A. Today", a rare foray for the singer into the political realm, points out America's virtues and faults. Jones also made his second music video for "The Old Man No One Loves", a tearjerker that pulls on the same heartstrings as "He Stopped Loving Her Today".

Too Long
by: SkoidatsBellied up at five now I've gone too far
Slipped off my stool and hit my head on the bar
Why can't I see that I'm over the edge
Something is telling me I've been here way too long
Boom Boom and I'm sleeping in my room
Bed down this morning and now it's afternoon
I find it great to sluff responsibility
Look at me, I still can't see
Ask me where I'm going now I want to stay
(Don't want to go)
And I can't see why my head feels this way
(And I don't know)
You try to tell me it's to take away the pain
I can't see clearly, I've gone insane
Bellied up at two now it's not too late
Fifteen after four and I'm feeling great
I'm feeling cheesed, clouds are in my head
Liquid courage coming and I'm seeing red
Boom Boom and I'm sleeping in my room
Bed down this morning and now it's afternoon
I can't seem to get back on my feet
I still can't see
Ask me where I'm going and I want to stay
(Don't want to go)
And I can't see why my head feels this way
(And I don't know)
They try to tell me it's to take away the pain
I can't see clearly, maintain insane
You ask me where I'm going and I want to stay
(Don't want to go)
And I can't see why my head feels this way
(And I don't know)
They try to tell me it's to take away the pain
