Let's Get Together
George Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, it's true that we just can't live together
For your hungers and my heart don't agree
So let's celebrate our party with a party
Let's get together before we go our seperate ways.

Let's get together just one time, once again
To cover up the beginning of the end
And though we both have agreed to disagree
Let's get together one more time then we'll be free.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll pick you up same place, same time as always
Don't be late for this is out last date
We'll have tonight to remember yesterday
Let's get together before we go our seperate ways.

Let's get together just one time, once again
To cover up the beginning of the end
And though we both have agreed to disagree
Let's get together one more time then we'll be free.





Let's get together one more time then we'll be free...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to George Jones's song Let's Get Together express a bittersweet sentiment about the end of a relationship. The singer acknowledges that he and his partner are no longer able to continue their relationship due to differing wants and needs, but instead of ending things on a sour note, he suggests celebrating their time together with a party. He invites his partner to join him one last time, reminiscing on all the memories they've shared, and trying to cover up the beginning of the end. Despite their disagreements, he believes that one more night together will bring them closure and allow them to move on with their lives.


The song's lyrics capture the complex emotions associated with the end of a relationship, particularly one that wasn't necessarily bad, but simply didn't work out. They also highlight the importance of cherishing the time you've spent with someone, even if it comes to an end. By suggesting a celebration instead of a parting, the singer shows that he values the time he's shared with his partner, even if it wasn't always perfect.


Overall, Let's Get Together is a touching song that tugs at the heartstrings. It offers a message of hope and a reminder to cherish the moments and memories you share with those you love, even if they can't last forever.

Sounds like they
will ultimately be
getting back together at least
several more times before they
call it quits, and
they are just fooling themselves. (I love
the way George Jones pronounces
the word can't as
KAINT in the beginning of the
song. That's as
"country" as you
can get! Wanda
Jackson does
the same thing.)
Thanks, BeMisty!

I prefer his duets with Melba over the ones with Tammy. I just uploaded their version of "Living on Easy Street."

@Hollcall

Melba could "Hold Her Own" with the POSSUM...............few females voices could. Bravo Melba.

@donnachapelcuno4604

My dad Don Chapel wrote this great song!!!!

@MadMax-lo1lm

I think Melba is one of the most underrated of country singers. The more I hear her voice, the more I like her. George Jones is my favorite male country singer. Beautiful video. Thanks for the upload.

@BeMisty

Thanks and you're welcome =) I love her voice!
