George Jones - They\'ve Got Millions in Milwaukee lyrics

rate me

<br>

They oughta have a celebration<br>

And pay their respects to me<br>

Put my name up in neon lights<br>

And then give me the key<br>

To the city I've helped make so rich<br>

By spending my last dime<br>

On a cold beer in some honky tonk<br>

To get a woman off of my mind<br>

<br>

'Cause they've got millions in Milwaukee<br>

That they made off of guys like me<br>

Who can't stand the pain, a hurtin' thing<br>

When their baby leaves<br>

They oughta put my picture on the beer can<br>

So that woman of mine can see<br>

They’ve got millions in Milwaukee<br>

Thanks to guys like me<br>

<br>

If I only had a penny<br>

For all the suds I've soaked<br>

I might even own me a brewery<br>

Instead of bein' broke<br>

I know I spend a fortune<br>

And the end is nowhere in sight<br>

Bartender, how about one free round<br>

Before you close it up tonight<br>

<br>

'Cause they've got millions in Milwaukee<br>

That they made off of guys like me<br>

Who can't stand the pain of hurtin' things<br>

When their baby leaves<br>

You oughta put my picture on the beer can<br>

So that woman of mine can see<br>

They've got millions in Milwaukee<br>

And thanks to guys like me<br>

<br>

They've got millions in Milwaukee<br>

Thanks to guys like me<br>

<br>

<br>
