George Strait, Heartland Lyrics.

Artist: George Strait
Song: Heartland
Album: Pure Country

When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar,
You’re listening to the sound of the American heart.
And Opry music on a Saturday night
Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye.

Sing a song about the heartland,
The only place I feel at home.
Sing about the way a good man
Works until the daylight’s gone.
Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
Where they still know wrong from right.
Sing a song about the heartland.
Sing a song about my life.

There’s a place where mornings are an endless blue
And you feel mother nature walk along with you,
Where simple people living side by side
Still wave to their neighbor when they’re drivin’ by.

Sing a song about the heartland,
The only place I feel at home.
Sing about the way a good man
Works until the daylight’s gone.
Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
Where they still know wrong from right.
Sing a song about the heartland.
Sing a song about my life.

George Strait, Troubadour Lyrics.

Artist: George Strait
Song: Troubadour
Album: Troubadour

I still feel 25,
most of the time.
I still raise a little cain with the boys.
Honky tonks and pretty women.
Lord I’m still right there with them.
Singing above the crowd and the noise.

(Chorus)
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James,
Still trying to make a name,
Knowin’ nothing’s gonna change what I am.
I was a young troubadour,
When I rode in on a song,
And I’ll be an old troubadour,
When I’m gone.

Well, the truth about a mirror,
Is that a damned old mirror,
Don’t really tell the whole truth.
It don’t show what’s deep inside.
Oh read between the lines,
And it’s really no reflection of my youth.

(Repeat Chorus)

I was a young troubadour,
When I rode in on a song.
And I’ll be an old troubadour,
When I’m gone.
I’ll be an old troubadour,
When I’m gone.

George Strait, Living For The Night Lyrics.

Artist: George Strait
Song: Living For The Night
Album: Twang

Verse 1
Everyday’s a lifetime without you
Hard to get through, since you’ve gone
So I do the only thing I know how to,
to get by
I’m living for the night

Verse 2
I’ve drawn all the curtains in this old house
To keep the sun out, off of my face
Friends stop by to check-in ‘cause I’ve checked out
I tell them I’m fine,
I’m just living for the night

Refrain
Daylight can’t hide the tears I cry
the pain that came with your goodbye
The memories that keep me out of sight
Every night I venture out
into those neon arms that hold me tight
I’m living for the night

Verse 3
I’m a whole lot easier to talk to,
when I’ve had a few and settled down
Whiskey kills the man you’ve turned me into
And I come alive
I’m living for the night

Refrain
Daylight can’t hide the tears I cry
the pain that came with your goodbye
The memories that keep me out of sight
Every night I venture out
into those neon arms that hold me tight
I’m living for the night
I’m living for the night

Everyday is a lifetime without you

George Strait, The Seashores Of Old Mexico Lyrics.

Artist: George Strait
Song: The Seashores Of Old Mexico
Album: Somewhere Down in Texas

I left, out of Tucson, with no destination in mind.
I was runnin’ from trouble and the jail-term the Judge had in mind.
And the border meant freedom, a new life, romance,
And that’s why I thought I should go,
And start my life over on the seashores of old Mexico.

My first night in Juarez, lost all the money I had.
One bad senorita made use of one innocent lad.
But I must keep on runnin’; it’s too late to turn back:
I’m wanted in Tucson, I’m told.
Yeah, an’ things’ll blow over on the seashores of old Mexico.

Two Mexican farmers en route to a town I can’t say,
Let me ride on the back of a flatbed half-loaded with hay.
Down through Durango, Colima, Almiera,
Then in the Manzanillos,
Where I slept on the seashores of old Mexico.

After one long siesta, I came wide awake in the night.
I was startled by someone who shadowed the pale moonlight.
My new-found companion, one young senorita,
Who offered a broken hello,
To the gringo she found on the seashores of old Mexico.

She spoke of Sonora and swore that she’d never return,
For her Mexican husband, she really had no great concern.
‘Cause she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo:
That’s all I needed to know.
Yeah, I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico.

Yeah, she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo:
That’s all I needed to know, ha, ha.
Yeah, I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico.

George Strait, Baby’s Gotten Good At Goodbye Lyrics.

Artist: George Strait
Song: Baby’s Gotten Good At Goodbye
Album: Beyond The Neon Blue

What a rotten day this turned out to be.
I still can’t believe she’d leave so easily.
She just got all her things, threw ‘em into a pile,
Then she loaded her car and said after a while,
She’d done this before, but this time she didn’t cry.

That’s why I’m sittin’ on the front steps,
Staring down the road, wond’rin’ if she’ll come back –
This time I don’t know.
After she packed, when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes,
And that’s got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby’s gotten good at goodbye.

All the times before she’d break down and cry.
She’d make her threats, but her heart wasn’t set on goodbye.
She just wanted me to hear what she had to say.
Now I’m lost for words, since she went away.
She may not return for this time she didn’t cry.

That’s why I’m sittin’ on the front steps,
Staring down the road, wond’rin’ if she’ll come back –
This time I don’t know.
After she packed, when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes,
And that’s got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby’s gotten good at goodbye.

That’s why I’m sittin’ on the front steps,
Staring down the road, wond’rin’ if she’ll come back –
This time I don’t know.
After she packed, when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes,
And that’s got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby’s gotten good at goodbye.

George Strait, The Man In Love With You Lyrics.

Artist: George Strait
Song: The Man In Love With You
Album: Easy Come, Easy Go

I’m not the hero who will always save the day.
Don’t always wear the white hat, don’t always know the way.
I may not even be the dream you wanted to come true,
But I’ll always be the man in love with you.
I’m not the key that opens every door.
I don’t have the power to give you all you want and more,
But when you’re needin’ somethin’ special you can hold on to,
I’ll always be the man in love with you.

I never could work miracles.
There may be others who can do what I can’t do,
But no one else can be as good as me at lovin’ you.
So when the world won’t turn the way you wish it would,
And the dreams you have don’t come alive as often as they should,
Remember that there’s someone there whose heart is always true.
I’ll always be the man in love with you.

Remember that there’s someone there whose heart is always true,
Someone there to help you make it through.
I’ll always be the man in love with you.

George Strait, Amarillo By Morning Lyrics.

Artist: George Strait
Song: Amarillo By Morning
Album: Strait From The Heart

(Terry Stafford/P. Fraser)

Amarillo By Mornin’
Up from San Antone
Everything that I got
Is just what I’ve got on.
When that sun is high in that Texas sky,
I’ll be buckin’ at the county fair.
Amarillo By Mornin’
Amarillo I’ll be there.

They took my saddle in Houston,
Broke my leg in Santa Fe.
Lost my wife and a girlfriend,
Somewhere along the way.
I’ll be lookin’ for eight
When they pull that gate
And I hope that judge ain’t blind.
Amarillo By Mornin’
Amarillo’s on my mind.

Amarillo By Mornin’
Up from San Antone
Everything that I got
Is just what I’ve got on.
I ain’t got a dime,
But what I got is mine.
I ain’t rich, but Lord I’m free.

Amarillo By Mornin’
Amarillo’s Where I’ll Be.
Amarillo By Mornin’
Amarillo’s Where I’ll Be.

George Strait, Check Yes Or No Lyrics.

Artist: George Strait
Song: Check Yes Or No
Album: Strait Out Of The Box

( Danny A. Wells / Dana Hunt Oglesby )

It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmy Lou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow in her ponytail
She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell
Next day I chased her around the playground
Across the monkey bars to the merry-go-round
And Emmy Lou got caught passing me a note, before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote:

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no

Now we’re grown up and she’s my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Ain’t much changed I still chase Emmy Lou
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together she still gets to me
Can’t believe it’s been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.

Check yes or no
Check yes or no
Check yes or no

George Strait, Write This Down Lyrics.

Artist: George Strait
Song: Write This Down
Album: Always Never The Same

I never saw the end in sight; fools are kind of blind.
Thought everything was going alright, but I was running out of time.
‘Cause you had one foot out the door, I swear I didn’t see
But if you’re really going away, here’s some final words from me.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn’t know,
Tell yourself I love you and I don’t want you to go, write this down.
Take my words, read ’em every day, keep ’em close by, don’t you let ’em fade away,
So you’ll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

I’ll sign it at the bottom of the page, I’ll swear under oath
‘Cause every single word is true, and I think you need to know,
So use it as a bookmark, stick it on your ‘frigerator door,
Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantel where you’ll see it for sure.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn’t know,
Tell yourself I love you and I don’t want you to go, write this down.
Take my words, read ’em every day, keep ’em close by, don’t you let ’em fade away,
So you’ll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

You can find a chisel, I can find a stone.
Folks will be reading these words, long after we’re gone.

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn’t know,
Tell yourself I love you and I don’t want you to go, write this down.
Take my words, read ’em every day, keep ’em close by, don’t you let ’em fade away,
So you’ll remember what I forgot to say, write this down.

Oh I love you and I don’t want you to go, baby write this down.

Artist: George Strait
Song: The Chair
Album: Something Special

Well, excuse me, but I think you’ve got my chair.
No, that one’s not taken, I don’t mind
If you sit here, I’ll be glad to share.
Yeah, it’s usually packed here on Friday nights.

Oh, if you don’t mind, could I talk you out of a light.
Well, thank you, could I drink you a buy?
Oh, listen to me, what I mean is can I buy you a drink?
Anything you please.

Oh, you’re welcome, well, I don’t think I caught your name.
Are you waiting for someone to meet you here?
Well, that makes two of us glad you came.

No, I don’t know the name of the band, but they’re good.
Aren’t they, would you like to dance?
Yeah, I like the song too, it reminds me of you and me.
Baby do you think there’s a chance
That later on I could drive you home?

No, I don’t mind at all.
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth
That wasn’t my chair after all.
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth
That wasn’t my chair after all.
