100 OPRY: part 11 (Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood)

With more Opry 100, he's been an Opry member since 1990, Garth Brooks. Thank you very much. Very sweet. People, a hundred years of country music, right? That's some rich history right there. When you talk about the history of country music, there is going to be a question come up in the first five minutes, and that is, who is the greatest singer in country music, right? You're going to ask a hundred different people, you're going to get a hundred different answers, right? But for me, it's who it has always been, and who it will always be, George Jones. Thank you. I love country music. When you talk about great country music, you stay on that subject? Someone's going to ask, what's the greatest country song ever? People, be right there in the magic moment when fate actually paired what could possibly be the greatest country song ever with the greatest voice to ever grace country music. He said I'll love you till I die She told him you're dead in time As the years roll slowly by She still prays on him I went to see him just today Oh, but I didn't see no tears All dressed up to go away First time I'd seen him smile, yeah And he stopped loving her Placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today Well, she came by the sea just one last time Oh, we all wondered if she would You know, it just kept running through my mind He stopped loving her today Placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today George Jones, she has been a member for 26 years. Please make welcome the fantastic Tricia Gillard. Thank you. This is for Tammy Wynette, the first lady of country music. Never seen the inside of a bar room Or listened to a jukebox all night long But I see these are the things that make you happy So I'm gonna make some changes to our home I've heard it said if you can't beat them, join them So if that's the way you wanted me to be I'm taking all of that to make you happy I'm gonna see a different me Because you're a good girl, it's gonna go bad I'm gonna be the swingin'est swinger you ever had If you painted up, powdered up, taste of whiskey In fact you'll hardly recognize your wife Well I'll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancy For my journey to the wilder side of life Because you're a good girl, it's gonna go bad I'm gonna be the swingin'est swinger you ever had If you locked it up, powdered up Then you ought to be glad Because your home's gonna go bad In a pawn shop in Chicago On a sunny summer day A couple gazes out The wedding ring's there on display He smiles and nods his head He says, honey, that's for you It's not much, but it's the best I can do Golden ring With one tiny little stone Waiting there for someone to take it home By itself It's just a cold metallic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring In a small two-room apartment As they fight their final round He says, you won't admit it But I know you're leavin' town And he says, one thing's for certain I don't love you anymore And throws down the ring She walks out the door It's just a sigh Like the love that you said It's just a cold metallic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring In a pawn shop in Chicago On a sunny summer day A couple gazes out The wedding ring's there on display
