George Jones: The King is Gone (So are You) Meaning
The King is Gone (So are You) Lyrics
That looks like Elvis
I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar
I cleared us off a place on that

I always thought of his father dying, and him coming to his fathers house to pick up what little his father had to leave him. A couple novelty items including an old Elvis bottle of liquor and a a flinstones jelly-bean jar. Instead of keeping the novelty items as display like his father did, he decided to drink his sorrow away. He then talks to his last possessions of his father throughout the night as a way of dealing with the pain as gets hammered. It could be about an ex I suppose but since it says "you didn't get around too much" I think he would know about his wife's past, but maybe not so much of his fathers.

this song is about a man comming home to an empty house and finding the only thing his ex left him in the house is a small table, a bottle of whiskey, and an empty jelly bean jar. So as the lyrics go he procceds to sit on the floor and drink whiskey from the jelly bean jar. Also the whiskey bottle reminds him of elvis by favor or content. Then he has a conversation (drunk) with fred (jelly bean jar) and elvis (whiskey bottle). The conversation turns to women and life and he realizes his ex isn't coming back. The King is gone (the whiskey) and so are you (the ex). That's how I see it
