The song "We Didn't See A Thing" by George Jones is a humorous country song about two friends, George and Ray, who are caught in compromising situations. The lyrics depict a series of events where they deny witnessing each other's inappropriate behavior or actions. The story begins with George being at a bar and witnessing his friend, Ray, dancing and drinking with his wife's best friend. However, George claims he didn't see anything and denies seeing them kiss or leave together. Similarly, Ray denies hearing George deny his marital status to a blonde woman and also claims he didn't see George hiding his wedding ring. The chorus emphasizes the need for George and Ray to stick together and maintain the same story to avoid getting caught. They both pretend to be in different locations to provide an alibi for each other, with George supposedly being in Atlanta and Ray working late. They continuously deny any knowledge of the events they are questioned about. The song incorporates a comical tone throughout, with George reminding Ray about the money he owes him and a bet they made on a football game. Ray denies any recollection of both situations, again reinforcing the theme of denying everything. The underlying message of the song is the loyalty between two friends and how they protect each other by keeping their stories consistent. It highlights the humorous and often absurd situations people might find themselves in, where they choose to deny any involvement or knowledge to protect their friendships and avoid confrontation.
