George Strait Ten Strait Hits Lyrics
1.Ace In The Hole

Chorus:
You've got to have an ace in the hole
A little secret that nobody knows
Life is a gamble a game we all play
But you need to save something for a rainy day
You've got to learn to play your cards right
If you expect to win in life
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll
You've got to have an ace in the hole

If you're headed down a one way street
And you're not sure its the way you wanna go
In money or love or all the above
Have a little more than what you show
No matter what you do
No matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole

Chorus

Don't put it all on the line just for one roll
You've got to have an ace in the hole

No matter what you do
No matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole


2.Baby's Gotten Good At Goodbye

What a rotten day
This turned out to be
I still can't believe
She'd leave so easily
She just packed all her things
Threw them into a pile
Then she loaded her car
And said, 'after awhile'
She'd done this before
But this time she didn't cry

Chorus:
That's why i'm sitting on the front steps
Staring down the road
Wondering if she'll come back
This time i don't know
And 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

Chorus

Chorus


3.Baby Blue

She looked so much like a lady
But she was so much like a child
A devil when she held me close
An angel when she smiled
She always held it deep inside
But somehow i always knew
She'd go away when the grass turned green
And the sky turned baby blue

Chorus:
Baby blue
Was the color of her eyes
Baby blue
Like the colorado skies
Like a breath of spring she came and left
And i still don't know why
So, here's to you and whoever
Holds my baby blue tonight

She brought color to my life
That my eyes have never touched
When she taught me how to care
I've never cared so much
I try not to think of her
But i fall asleep and do
And go away where the grass turns green
And the sky is baby blue

Chorus

5.Famous Last Words Of A Fool

I told her i wouldnt miss her at all
As she walked to the door
I couldn't care less
If she didn't care anymore
And with tears in my eyes, i lied
I was glad we were through
As she drove away cryin' at the famous last words of a fool

Famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
'you won't break my heart' and 'i don't love you'
The famous last words of a fool.

The first night without her would be easy
I kept telling myself
All the while dying
At the thought of her lying somewhere else
There'll be nothing to it
I'll easily find someone new
As my breaking heart echoed the famous last words of a fool

Repeat chorus

'you won't break my heart' and 'i don't love you'
The famous last words of a fool


6.I've Come To Expect It From You

So upset
Nervous wreck
I can't believe she said goodbye
Sit and smoke
Cry and joke
About these tears in my eyes

Chorus:
How could you do what you gone and done to me
I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me
But that's what i get
I've come to expect it from you

A million times
A million lines and i bought 'em every one
You don't care
You rip and tear every dream i've counted on
I guess i should thank my unlucky stars
That i'm alive
And you're the way you are
But that's what i get
I've come to expect it from you

Chorus

I could raise hell
But what the hell it wouldn't do a bit of good
I can leave
My heart agrees it seems to think that i should
There won't be no more next time doing me wrong
You'll come back this time to find that i'm gone

But that's what you get
You should expect that from me
That's what i get
I've come to expect it from you.


7.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 your gettin' no huggin'
No smoochin' or a muggin'
If you ain't lovin'
Than you ain't livin'
If youõre ridin' on a gravy train
Instead of walkin' down loverõs lane
You can't make hay boy
Cause your goin' the wrong way boy
You gotta get a little honey
It's better than money
If you ain't lovin'
Than you ain't livin'
If they call you a big man
Cause you got a lot of bottom land
If you're kin to the president
And ya get help from the government
But if your gettin' no attention
You're better off on a pension
If you ain't lovinõ
Than you ain't livin'
If you got a string of long cards
And your smokin' them four-bit cigars
You ain't so well to do
Unless you get a little coochy-coo
It takes a little bit of smackin'
Or your lifes lackin'
If you ain't lovin'
Than you ain't livin'


8.Love Without End Amen

love without end amen

I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why
When dad got home i told that story just like i'd rehearsed
Then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waitin' for the
worst

And he said...

Chorus:
Let me tell you a secret about a father's love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
He said daddies don't just love their children every now and
then
It's a love without end, amen
It's a love without end, amen

When i became a father in the spring of '81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's
son
And when i thought my patience had been tested to the end
I took my daddy's secret and passed it on to him

I said...

Repeat chorus

Last night i dreamed i'd died and stood outside those pearly
gates
When suddenly i realized there must be some mistake
If they know half the things i've done, they'll never let me in
Then somewhere from the other side, i heard these words again

And they said...

Repeat chorus


9.Overnight Success

If it was in your mind to really cut me down
If it was in your plan to walk me in the ground
You left with him last night then daylight told the rest
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success

I couldn't blame someone who'd steal your love away
Because i know what i've lost and all he's gained
Sweetheart last night i know he got the very best
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success

Can you handle all you've won from breaking my pride
Will he stay with you and help you spend all the tears i've
cried
Sweetheart i love you so and wish you happiness
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success


10.What's Going On In Your World

What's goin' on in your world
I hope that you're doin' fine
I just called to say there is not a day
That you don't cross my mind
I just wanted to see if you feel like me
Sorry we said good bye
So what's goin' on in your world
It sure is lonesome in mine
Just tell me that you're happy
And i'll hang up the phone
Just tell me you don't need me anymore
And i'll leave you alone
I just wondered if you had somebody new
After all of this time
So what's goin' on in your world
It sure is lonesome in mine
Just tell me that you're happy
And i'll hang up the phone
Just tell me you don't need me anymore
And i'll leave you alone
I just wondered if you had somebody new
After all of this time
So what's goin' on in your world
It sure is lonesome in mine
What's goin' on in your world
It sure is lonesome in mine
