The Tammy Wynette and George Jones Near You song was a #1 country music hit for the duo starting February 5, 1977. Recorded in the winter of 1974, this song arrangement proved that country fans still had an appetite for any music performed by the estranged couple. George and Tammy had become country music’s “First Couple” in the early seventies. This song was their second consecutive #1 single since their divorce in 1975. The couple had also managed to top the charts once during their six-year marriage with “We’re Gonna Hold On” in 1973.

Tammy Wynette and George Jones Near You Lyrics
There’s just one place for me
Near you
It’s like heaven to be
Near you
Times when we’re apart
And I can’t face my heart
Say you’ll never stay
More than just two lips away
If my hours could be spent
Near you
I’d be more than content
Near you
Make my life worthwhile
By telling me that I’ll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
Near you
Near you
Make my life worth while
By telling me that I’ll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
