American Songwriter revisits Vince Gill's 1993 country hit "One More Last Chance," a song he co-wrote with Gary Nicholson that was inspired by the legendary George Jones rather than by Gill's own life. The piece highlights how the track, praised by fans for showcasing Gill's guitar skill, became one of Gill's signature hits and paid tribute to Jones's colourful reputation for hard living, with Jones himself even appearing in the music video.

The song reached number one on both the Canada Country Tracks and US Hot Country Songs charts. Its narrative, about a partner threatening to punish a wayward man's antics, drew on a real 1966 incident when Jones's second wife, Shirley Corley, hid his car keys in East Texas to stop him drinking, only for Jones to escape on his tractor to reach a liquor store, a story that has since become one of country music's most enduring anecdotes.
