I parked my car 'round back I've got the shades pulled down I told everybody including my mama I was leaving town But I've been right here Since you've been gone Belly up at the bottom of a bottle Listening to George Jones Chorus: And just playin' possum Laying low I've got hundred watts of hurtin' Coming through the speakers of my stereo Don't want to see nobody Nowhere I want to go I'm just playin' possum And laying low I'm gonna hide my heart And be a love recluse Oh I could cry on my best friend's shoulder But there ain't no use I need an expert on The pain I'm going through So I'll keep George on the old turntable 'Til I'm over you Chorus He's playin' possum And he's laying low
