Lyrics George Strait - Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind

Lyrics George Strait - Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind

Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous
I tried it night after night
You're in someone else's arms in Dallas
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

Darlin', while you're busy burnin' bridges,
Burn one for me when you get time
'Cause good memories don't fade so easy
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

You left me here to be with him in Dallas
And I know it hurt you at the time
I wonder now if it makes a difference
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

You left me here to be with him in Dallas
And I know it hurt you at the time
I wonder now if it makes a difference
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

Does Fort Worth ever [Repeats]
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

Lyrics George Strait - Give It Away

Lyrics George Strait - Give It Away

She was stormin' through the house that day
And I could tell she was leavin'
And I thought, 'aw, she'll be back.'
Until we turned around and pointed at the wall and said

That picture from out honeymoon
That night in 'Frisco Bay
Just give it away
She said give it away

That big four poster king sized bed
Where so much love was made
Just give it away
She said just give it away

[Chorus]
Just give it away
There ain't nothing in this house worth fightin' over
Oh, we're both tired of fightin' anyway
Just give it away

Oh, I tried to move on
But I found that each woman I held
Just reminded me of that day

When that front door swung wide open
She flung her diamond ring
Said, give it away
Just give it away

And I said, now honey
Don't you even want your half of everything
She said give it away
Just give it away

[Chorus]

So, I'm still right here where she left me
Along with all the other things that she don't care about anymore
Hmm

Like that picture from our honeymoon
That night in 'Frisco Bay
She said give it away
Well, I can't give it away
That big four poster king sized bed
Where all our love was made
She said give it away
Well, I can't give it away

I've got furnished house
A diamond ring
And a lonely, broken heart
Full of love
And I can't even give it away

Lyrics George Strait - One Foot In Front Of The Other

Lyrics George Strait - One Foot In Front Of The Other

Well, love can be an uphill climb
I'm gonna meet a lot of resistance
It takes every ounce of strength we've got
If we're gonna go the distance
We can get discouraged and lose our courage
Worrying 'bout the daily grind
But life's a journey, no need to hurry
It's one day at a time

[Chorus]
One foot in front of the other
Take one step then take another
Keep on walkin', we're headed in the right direction
Puttin' one foot in front of the other
Little by little gets a whole lot further
Hittin' our stride, one foot in front of the other

What's down the road we can't say
And the road behind don't matter
But every mile along the way
Is just another mile together
Unconcerned about the twists and turns
We're takin' it nice and slow
Safe and sound, covering ground
Steady as she goes

[Chorus]

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow takes care of itself
We'll just keep on keepin' on
'Cause we ain't stumbled yet

One foot in front of the other
Take one step and then take another
Just a-walkin' and a-talkin' and a-movin' in the same direction
Just puttin' one foot in front of the other
Little by little gets a whole lot further
Hittin' our stride, one foot in front of the other

Well, just a-hittin' our stride
One foot in front of the other

Lyrics George Strait - Fool Hearted Memory

Lyrics George Strait - Fool Hearted Memory

Nickels and dimes
Memories and wines
She's on his mind once again
The same old fool
The same old stool
Played by the rules but didn't win
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose
He tried forgetting but he knows that it's no use

[Chorus]
He's got a fool hearted memory
That won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more

She was his girl
His only whirl
That string of pearls that slipped away
A thousand dimes
A thousand times
He doesn't mind what they say
He fills the jukebox
And plays the same old song
He fills his glass
And then he turns her memory on

[Chorus: x2]

Lyrics George Strait - Don't Tell Me You're Not In Love

Lyrics George Strait - Don't Tell Me You're Not In Love

I know you're ready, you show all the signs
Your eyes sparkle oh how they shine
But you keep saying
You can't take another heartache
The way you hold me, the way that you move
Your feelings keep showing through
You can't hide it
It's written all over your face
Don't tell me you're not in love
When your heart beats like it does
Your trembling body tells on you
Each time we touch
You can tell me you're afraid
I am too and that's okay
I got eyes, I can see
Baby don't tell me you're not in love
Sweet love songs bring you to tears
Come on baby don't hide in your fear
Let your lips say
What your heart already knows
Your denial is a last thing to fall
The only brick left holding the wall
Don't hold back
Speak with your heart and your soul
Don't tell me you're not in love
When your heart beats like it does
Your trembling body tells on you
Each time we touch
You can tell me you're afraid
I am too and that's okay
I got eyes, I can see
Baby don't tell me you're not in love
I got eyes, I can see
Baby don't tell me you're not in love

Lyrics George Strait - Carried Away

Lyrics George Strait - Carried Away

I don't take my whiskey to extremes
Don't believe in chasin' crazy dreams
My feet are planted firmly on the ground
But darlin' when you come around

[Chorus]
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on
Baby I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day
I get carried away

It might seem like an ordinary night
Same ol' stars same ol' moon up high
But when I see you standin' at your door
Nothin's ordinary anymore

[Chorus: x2]

Carried away

Lyrics George Strait - Is It Already Time

Lyrics George Strait - Is It Already Time

The years have been so good to you and I my friend
They brought us to the Autumn wind and left the tears behind
And who'd have dreamed that love could grow so endlessly
And you'd have meant so much to me, is it already time?

And I will always love you so
We'll hold each other close until it's time to go
And we believed we had forever on our side
Is it already time?

And I will always love you so
We'll hold each other close until it's time to go
And we believed we had forever on our side
Is it already time?

And we believed we had forever on our side
Is it already time?

Lyrics George Strait - Honky Tonk Saturday Night

Lyrics George Strait - Honky Tonk Saturday Night

Angels and devils share the same tables
And that's not so wrong if you get it done right.
Halos and horns lock up on the dance floor
On a honkytonk Saturday night.

It's a honkytonk Saturday night,
It's not who is who, it's who will or who might.
With luck she'll turn on 'fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk Saturday night.

I played the jukebox, I played some merle haggard,
Me and the waitress think he's outta' sight.
Then some folks got thirsty while we were dancin'
On a honkytonk Saturday night.

It's a honkytonk Saturday night,
It's not who is who, it's who will or who might.
With luck I'll turn her on 'fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk Saturday night.

With luck I'll take her home 'fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk Saturday night.

Lyrics George Strait - I Just Can't Go On Dying Like This

Lyrics George Strait - I Just Can't Go On Dying Like This

I'm driving in my car alone
You called me on the telephone
How many times will it take till I'm convinced
That you're using me, I'm just a used-to-be?
It's a lie, I know it's a lie
But I just can't go on dying like this

Can I see you tonight?
Baby, I'll act just like you want me to
Or is that just exactly what I'm not supposed to do?

I'll just stop in here, have a glass of beer
I'm just a fool I guess
But I just can't go on dying like this

Here I am again, it's four AM
I think I'll play that song again
The one called "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
And I'll wonder where you are tonight
I don't know, I just don't know
But I just can't go on dying like this

Can I see you tonight?
Baby, I'll act just like you want me to
Or is that just exactly what I'm not supposed to do?

I'll just stop in here, have a glass of beer
I'm just a fool I guess
But I just can't go on dying like this

Lord knows I just can't go on dying like this

Lyrics George Strait - Nobody In His Right Mind Would've Left Her

Lyrics George Strait - Nobody In His Right Mind Would've Left Her

I burn with desire
each time my heart fans the fire
To that old flame
that burns inside of me
She cried when I left her
now I try to forget her
Oh how foolish I was
to ever want to leave

[Chorus]
Because nobody in his right mind
would've left her
I had to be crazy to say good bye
Nobody in his right mind
could've left her
Even my heart was smart enough
to stay behind

I still carry her picture
I wish her well
with the new love
I know she's found by now
Each night finds me dreamin'
each day I spend thinkin'
How much I wish
she was still around

[Chorus]

Lyrics George Strait - Give It All We Got Tonight

Lyrics George Strait - Give It All We Got Tonight

July moonlight shines
Your pretty little head on my shoulder
Pull over on the side of the road
Oh my God, you're something
Like nothing I've ever seen
If I'm asleep girl, let me dream

Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
'Cause that's all we have in this life
Drink up this love, baby, give it all we got tonight

Summer honeysuckle
Leaking through a rolled down window
We both know when that seat lays back
Anything can happen
So imagine it'll never end
Just close your eyes and you can see that we are where we're meant to be

Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
'Cause that's all we have in this life
Baby, drink up this love, give it all we got tonight
Give it all we got tonight

Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this
Trust it so much that there's no one else but us and
This moment that says it's so right
'Cause that's all we have in this life
Drink up this love, c'mon, give it all we got tonight
Give it all we got tonight

Lyrics George Strait - A Little Heaven's Rubbing Off On Me

Lyrics George Strait - A Little Heaven's Rubbing Off On Me

I used to like making love and then gettin' up and never havin' to explain
I've always been free I never could see me dragin' no ball and chain
I like running around and being tied down never was my cup of tea
But since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me
And I'm beginning to like just sittin' and holding hands
Looking into her eyes I'm thinking bout future plans
And then I get the feelin' that the life that I'd been leadin'
Ain't all it's cracked up to be
Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me

I used like to spend the night sittin' on an old barstool
Drinking wine and killing time with all over those other fools
But since you took my hand I think I understand it ain't the way it out to be
Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me
And I'm beginning to like
Since I've been holding an angel a little heaven's rubbing off on me

Lyrics George Strait - Maria

Lyrics George Strait - Maria

Ther'es a soft rain tappin' on your window
There's a cool breeze blowin' off the bay
And a warm flame dancin' with our shadows
To music playin' far away
I never meant to stay an hour
I thought that I was passing through
Another town along the highway
I never meant to fall for you

[Chorus]
But I can't speak for you Maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothing left for dreams to steal

On a Bible by the mirror
The only treasures that we hold
The only secrets that we're keepin'
A watch, a chain, a cross of gold

[Chorus]

When the sunlight brings the mornin'
I can't tell you what I'll do
But I've a mind to take you with me
And I've got heart to stay with you

[Chorus]

When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothin' left for dreams to steal

Lyrics George Strait - Milk Cow Blues

Lyrics George Strait - Milk Cow Blues

Well I woke up this mornin'
Looked outdoors
I can tell my milk cow
I can tell by the way she lows
If you see my milk cow
Please drive her on home
Cause I ain't had no milk and butter
Since that cows been gone

Well you gotta treat me right honey
Day by day
Get out your little prayer book
Get down upon your knees and pray
Cause you're gonna need me
You're gonna need my help someday
Lord you're gonna be sorry
You, you treated me this a way
Aw, now take it away boys

Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
You're gonna keep right on sailing
Till you lose your happy home

Well good evening
Don't that sun look good going down
I said well good evening
Don't that sun look good going down
Don't that ol' army cot look lonely
When your lover ain't no place around

Well I tried everything baby
To get along with you
Now I'm gonna tell you
What I'm gonna do
I'm gonna stop my cryin'
Gonna leave you alone
And if you don't think I'm leavin' big momma
Just count the days I'm gone
You ain't gonna see me
You ain't gonna see my sweet face no more

Lord you gonna be wondering honey
Where in this world I've gone
Milk cow blues

Lyrics George Strait - Down Louisiana Way

Lyrics George Strait - Down Louisiana Way

I'm goin' down Louisiana way
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin back as of this very day
Don't worry about me cause I'll be okay
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin' down Louisiana way

I will miss all my old Chicago friends
And think about you San Francisco now and then
I will remember my compadres in L.A.
Look me up down Louisiana way

I'm goin' down Louisiana way
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin back as of this very day
Don't worry about me cause I'll be okay
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin' down Louisiana way

Don't let your eyes get misty now
We knew the time would come around for me to go
I will miss you

So long my friend, guess I'll see you while ago
I might be back sometime, you just never know
I have left a sweet heart north of Whiskey Bay
True love waits down Louisiana way

I'm goin' down Louisiana way
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin back as of this very day
Don't worry about me cause I'll be okay
I was born down Louisiana way
I'm goin' down Louisiana way

Lyrics George Strait - Heartland

Lyrics George Strait - Heartland

When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar
You're listenin' 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

[Chorus: x2]
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

Lyrics George Strait - Breath You Take

Lyrics George Strait - Breath You Take

He looks up from second base
Dad's up in the stands
He saw the hit, the run, the slide
There ain't no bigger fan

In the parking lot after the game
He said "Dad I thought you had a plane to catch?"
He smiled and said "Yeah son I did"

But life's not the breath you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what its all about
You just might miss the point
Trying to win the race
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away

Fast forward fifteen years
And a thousand miles away
Boys built a life, he's got a wife
And a baby due today
He hears a voice saying "I made it son"
Says "I told you Dad, you didn't have to come"
He smiles and says "Yeah I know you did"

But life's not the breath you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what its all about
You just might miss the point
Trying to win the race
Life's not the breathes you take
But the moments that take your breath away

Just like it took my breath away when she was born
Just like it took my breath away when Dad took his last that morn

Life's not the breathes you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point
If you don't slow down the pace
Life's not the breathes you take
But the moments that take your breath away

Lyrics George Strait - If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')

Lyrics George Strait - If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')

If you got a Cadillac boy and a 40 room shack boy
A bucket full of money and a tree full of honey
But if you're gettin' no huggin'
No smoochin' or a muggin'
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'

If you're ridin' on a gravy train
Instead of walkin' down lovers lane
You can't make hey boy
'Cause you're goin' the wrong way boy
You gotta get a a little honey
It's better than money
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'

If they call you a big man
'Cause you got a lot of bottled land
If you're kin to the President
And ya help from the Government
But if you're gettin' no attention
You're better off on the pension
If you ain't lovin
Then you ain't livin'

If you got a string of long cards
And you're smokin' them 4 bid cigars
You ain't so well to do
Unless you get a little coochy-coo
It takes a little bit a smackin'
Or your lifes lackin'
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'

Lyrics George Strait - Fifteen Years Going Up

Lyrics George Strait - Fifteen Years Going Up

15 years together
We climbed by work and will
From a simple two room cottage
To a mansion on the hill
Now there's rose in the garden
But it's the coldest place in town
It took 15 years, goin up
And one night coming down

15 years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
15 years, goin up
And one night coming down

Her dreams have all been shattered
Her faith in my is gone
My tears tell her I'm sorry
But they can't write my wrong
One night wrote my story
How a man can lose it all
After 15 years goin up
It's hard to take a fall

15 years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
15 years, goin up
And one night coming down

I've been, 15 years goin up
And one night comin down

Lyrics George Strait - Christmas Cookies

Lyrics George Strait - Christmas Cookies

I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe

Now, Christmas cookies are a special treat
The more she bakes the more I eat
And sometimes I can't get myself to stop
Sometimes she'll wait till I'm asleep
She'll take the ones I didn't eat
And put those little sprinkly things on top

I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe

Now those sprinkly things just makes things worse
'Cause it makes them taste better than they did at first
And they're absolutely impossible to resist
Some disappear to who knows where
But I make sure I get my share
And those kids just stand there waiting for the ones I miss

Sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
She gets mad that they're all gone
Before she gets the icing put on
Sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe

Now there's a benefit to all of this
That you might have overlooked or missed
So now let me tell you the best part of it all
Every time she sticks another batch in the oven
There's 15 minutes for some kissin' and'a huggin'
That's why I eat Christmas cookies all year long

I sure do like those Christmas cookies, sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees, bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies, babe [x2]
