She's Mine

"She's Mine" is a song by George Jones. It was composed by Jones and Jack Ripley. Jones had already cut it for United Artists earlier in the decade but a new version was released as a single in 1969 on the Musicor label and rose to #6 on the Billboard country singles chart. The song seemingly describes the feelings of a man towards a woman, presumably his wife, who no longer loves him, but he feels "satisfied just having her around." As the song concludes, however, it has a surprise ending. It became yet another Top 10 hit for Jones, who had been a constant presence on the country charts throughout most of the decade.

gollark: Maybe make it so you get taxed some % of a patent's value each year. You might say "hmm but how do we calculate value". Simple! Make it so that you *specify* the value, and anyone who is willing to pay that much can buy it off you/pay for it to enter the public domain for that much.
gollark: > wouldnt that deter using patents?that is the point.
gollark: Or you could just have a tax of some kind on patents.
gollark: No, I mean use them to... produce useful things?
gollark: There needs to be a better incentive to actually *use* patents, I think.
