George Strait - The Very Best Of George Strait 1981-1987 [compilation] (1999) by George Strait (보컬) on maniadb.com

Give me a bottle,
Of your very best,
Cause I've got a problem
I'm gonna drink off my chest.
I'm gonna spend the night,
Gettin' down,
Cause that woman that I had
Wrapped around my finger just a come unwound.

That woman that I had wrapped around my
Finger just a come unwound,
She kicked my out of the house and
Tonight I'm whiskey bound.
Well I'm gonna be,
The drunkest fool in town,
Cause that woman that I had
Wrapped around my finger just a come unwound.

Well she packed my bags,
And opened up the door,
And I got a feelin she didnt want me around no more.
She caught me in a lie,
When I was messin around,
And that woman that I had
Wrapped around my finger just a come unwound.

That woman that I had wrapped around my
Finger just a come unwound,
She kicked my out of the house and
Tonight I'm whiskey bound.
Well I'm gonna be,
The drunkest fool in town,
Cause that woman that i had
Wrapped around my finger just a come unwound.
Just a come unwound

And that woman that I had
Wrapped around my finger just a come unwound.

Well I'm out on a tear 'cause she's tearing me apart.
If I look rough on the outside, you ought to see my heart.
And this look in my eyes shows beyond a doubt
That since my woman left I'm down and out.

Well I'm down at the bar, out of my mind.
Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind.
(Well) that jukebox cries the blues like it knows what I'm about.
Since my woman left I'm down and out.

Well I'm down to my last dollar, but I don't really care.
My friends have all got whiskey, and they don't mind if I share.
They know how it feels to have your heart torn inside out.
Since by woman left I'm down and out.

Well I'm down at the bar, out of my mind.
Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind.
(Well) that jukebox cries the blues like it knows what I'm about.
Since my woman left I'm down and out.

Since my woman left, since my woman left,
Since my woman left I'm down and out.

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]

We said goodbye in Marina Del Rey
I had a good time
Was the last thing I heard her say
As I walked away
And on the plane back to Tennessee
My mind comes across her memory
And yesterday in Marina Del Rey

On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we layed down on
And loved the world away
In Marina Del Rey
And as we looked into each others eyes
We found our bodies lost in paradise
Like castaways
In Marina Del Rey

Like the ocean tides, highs and lows
Love sometimes comes and goes away
In Marina Del Rey
And as this plane is touching down
Tears touch my eyes for I have found
My heart has stayed
In Marina Del Rey

On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we layed down on
And loved the world away
In Marina Del Rey
And as we looked into each others eyes
We found our bodies lost in paradise
Like castaways
In Marina Del Rey

We said goodbye in Marina Del Rey

Amarillo by morning
Up from San Antone
Everything that I've 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 morning
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
But I'll be looking for eight
When they pull that gate
And I hope that
Judge ain't blind
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo on my mind.

Amarillo by morning
Up from San Antone
Everything that I've got
Is just what I've got on
I ain't got a dime
But what I've got is mine
I ain't rich
But Lord, I'm free
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's where I'll be.

Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's where I'll be.

I'm finding out how hot an old flame can burn.
You're a feeling I haven't forgot, the love I can't unlearn.
You've become a memory I can't live without.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

I don't know how to handle the dream you left behind.
It's like a lighted candle burning up my mind.
At least I'm happy knowing what love is all about.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

Embers to ashes, that's how it should be.
You'd think by now my heart would know,
And it could set you free.
The things I've tried, the tears I've cried,
I guess there's no doubt
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

I don't know how to handle the dream you left behind.
It's like a lighted candle burning up my mind.
At least I'm happy knowing what love is all about.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

You'll always be a fire I can't put out...

Oh how you sparkle
And oh how you shine
The flush on your cheeks
Is more than the wine

And he must do something
That I didn't do
Whatever he's doing
It looks good on you

You look so good in love,
You want him
That's easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish you still wanted me

He must have stolen
The stars from the sky
And gave them to you
To wear in your eyes

I had my chances
But I set you free
And now I wonder
why I couldn't see

You look so good in love,
you want him
It's easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish you still wanted me

(spoken)
Darling I've wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you
But tonight your beauty is shining through,
And I never took the time to let you know
So before he takes you awayplease let me say

You look so good in love,
You want him
Its easy to see
You look so good in Love,
I wish you still wanted me

Right or wrong, I'll always love you.
Though you're gone, I can't forget.
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming.
Still, I wake with that same ol' regret.
All along I knew I'd lose you,
Though I prayed that you'd be true.
In your heart please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you.

Right or wrong, I'll always love you.
Though you're gone, I can't forget.
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming.
Still, I wake with that same ol' regret.
All along I knew I'd lose you,
Though I prayed that you'd be true.
In your heart please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you...

Pardon me you left your tears on the jukebox
And I'm afraid they got mixed up with mine
I don't mean to pry it's just that I noticed you, goin out of your mind
It look like we're two of a kind

Let's fall to pieces together
Why should we both fall apart
Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms

Alone is much better together
When the worst is still yet to come
So let's share the rest of the tears that are left
From two hearts that just came undone
Why should we go crazy alone

Let's fall to pieces together
Why should we both fall apart
Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms

Let's fall to pieces together, right here, in each other's arms

Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous.
I try 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 burning bridges,
Burn one for me if you get time.
'Cause good memories don't fade so easy.
Does Fort Worth ever cross you mind?

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

Does Fort Worth ever, does Fort Worth ever,
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

I knew the stakes were high right from the start
And when she dealt the cards I dealt my heart
Now I just found a game that I can't play
And this is where the cowboy rides away

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday
And this is where the cowboy rides away

We've been in and out of love and in-between
And now we play the final show-down scene
And as the credits roll a sad song starts to play
And this is where the cowboy rides away

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
And this is where the cowboy rides away

Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
And this is where the cowboy rides away

Yeah, they call me the Fireman,
That's my name.
Makin' my rounds all over town
Puttin' out old flames.
Well everybody'd like to have what I got,
I can cool 'em down when their smolderin' hot.
I'm the Fireman,
That's my name.

Last night we had a bad one a mile or two down the road,
Yeah my buddy walked out and left his woman burnin' outta control.
Well I was down their in 'bout an hour or so,
With a little mouth to mouth she was ready to go.
I'm the Fireman,
That's my name.

Yeah, they call me the Fireman,
That's my name.
Makin' my rounds all over town
Puttin' out old flames.
Well everybody'd like to have what I got,
I can cool 'em down when their smolderin' hot.
I'm the Fireman,
That's my name.

I got a fire engine red, T-Bird automobile,
In a minute or less I can be dress fit to kill.
I work twenty four on and twenty four off,
If they get too hot they just give me a call.
I'm the Fireman,
That's my name.

Yeah, they call me the Fireman,
That's my name.
Makin' my rounds all over town
Puttin' out old flames.
Well everybody'd like to have what I got,
I can cool 'em down when their smolderin' hot.
I'm the Fireman,
That's my name.

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 this 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.

That wasn't my chair after all (fades out).

As I hold you close tonight, hear what I say.
There's no doubt, it's love alright
'Cause I've never felt this way.
An angel's what you are, and now I see
You're not just someone else, you're something special to me.

Every man has a dream and you made mine come true.
How it happened I don't know or care.
I'm just happy I found you.
Wrapped in the arms of love is where I'll be
For all the world to see you're something special to me.

Every man has a dream and you made mine come true.
How it happened I don't know or care.
I'm just happy I found you.
Wrapped in the arms of love is where I'll be
For all the world to see you're something special to me.

It's all such a mystery, you're something special to me.

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 cry to forget her.
Oh, how foolish I was to ever want to leave.

'Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her.
I had to be crazy to say goodbye.
Nobody in his right mind would'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.

'Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her.
I had to be crazy to say goodbye.
Nobody in his right mind would've left her.

Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind.

I thought you and me were something special;
Thought you thought that way too.
Now I know that this ol' boy just ain't
The best you think you'll ever do.

It ain't cool to be crazy about you,
It ain't suave or debonair
To let you know I care, like I do.
It ain't smart to be so reckless with my heart.
I should have known right from the start
I'd end up like a fool
Believe me, it ain't cool.

All of my friends, they tried to tell me
What and what not to do.
It took a while for them to sell me,
But finally they got through.

It ain't cool to be crazy about you,
It ain't suave or debonair
To let you know I care, like I do.
It ain't smart to be so reckless with my heart.
I should have known right from the start
I'd end up like a fool
Believe me, it ain't cool

If you leave me
I won't miss you
And I won't ever take you back
Girl your memory
Won't ever haunt me
Cause I don't love you
Now if you'll buy that

I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free

I don't worship
The ground you walk on
I never have and that's a fact
I won't follow or try to find you
Cause I don't love you
Now if you'll buy that

I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free

I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free

Yeah if you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free

All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd really love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

Rosanna's down in Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And Allison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimple's who now lives in Temple's
Got the law looking for me.

All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd really love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

I remember that old Frio River
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight.

All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd really love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
Therefore I reside in Tennessee.

Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee...

Am I blue, yes I'm blue.
It started the day I lost you.
Nobody ever missed somebody like I do.
Am I blue, am I blue.

Just this morning over coffee
I set to crying 'cause you're gone, long gone.
I didn't know just how much I was gonna miss you,
Till I spent my first night alone.

Am I blue, yes I'm blue.
How could I have been such a fool?
Now look at all the misery I'm going through.
Am I blue, am I blue.

Tried to call and say I'm sorry -
I couldn't get you on the line.
You'll never know just how much I'm wishing
You would show up and say you've changed your mind.

Am I blue, yes I'm blue.
It started the day I lost you.
Nobody ever missed somebody like I do.
Am I blue, am I blue.
