George Strait Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.Amarillo By Morning

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 bucking it to county fair
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo i'll be there

They took my saddle in houston
Broke my leg in sante fe
Lost my wife and a girlfriend
Somewhere along the way
Well i'll be looking for eight
When they pull that gate
And i'm hoping that
Judge ain't blind
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's 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


2.Down And Out

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,
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,
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 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,
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.


3.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

Chorus


4.Let's Fall To Pieces Together

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 looks like were two of a kind

Chorus

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

Chorus


5.Marina Del Ray

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 this plane back to tennessee
My mind comes across her memory
And yesterday
In marina del rey

Chorus:
On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket
That we laid down on and loved the world away
In marina del rey
And as we looked into each other's eyes
We found our body's lost in paradise
Like castaways
In marina del rey

Like the ocean tides
High 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

Chorus


6.Right Or Wrong

Right or wrong i'll always love you
Though your're gone i can't forget
Right or wrong i'll keep on dreaming
Still i wake with the same old 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.

(repeat)
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


7.Unwound

Give me a bottle of your very best
'cause i've got a problem i'm gonna drink off my chest
Gonna spend the night gettin' down
'cause that woman i had wrapped around my finger just come
unwound

That woman i had wrapped around my finger just come unwound
She kicked me outta the house and tonight i'm whiskey-bound
I'm gonna be the drunkest fool in town
'cause that woman i had wrapped around my finger just come
unwound

Well she packed my bags and opened up the door
And i got the feeling she didn't want me around no more
She caught me in a lie, i was messin' around
And that woman i had wrapped around my finger just come unwound

That woman i had wrapped around my finger just come unwound
She kicked me outta the house and tonight i'm whiskey-bound
I'm gonna be the drunkest fool in town
'cause that woman i had wrapped around my finger just come
unwound


8.You Look So Good In Love

Oh how you sparkle
And oh how you shine
That flush on your cheeks
Is more than the wine
And he must do something
That i didn't do
Whatever he's doing
Look's 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 has stolen
Some 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
That's easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish
You still wanted me
