Troubadour

George Strait Troubadour Lyrics
1.Troubadour

Still feel 25,
Most of the time.
I still raise a little cain with the boys.
Honky tonk and pretty woman.
Lord I'm still right there with them.
Singing above the crowd and the noise.

Sometimes I feel like Jesse James,
Still trying to make a name.
Knowing nothings 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,
It's that a damn old mirrow.
Don't really tell the whole truth,
It don't show what's deep inside.
Oh read between the lines,
It's really no reflection of my youth.

Sometimes I feel like Jesse James,
Still trying to make a name.
Knowing nothings 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.

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.


2.It Was Me

The first time I met her,
She walked right up to me.
And said, 'You're who I wanted to find.'
There was a man she had seen in her dreams.
And it was me.

She said, 'I can't believe it.
'Cause I've never been in here,
And I've passed this place so many times.'
It was her night to find destiny,
And it was me.

And we danced every song that they played,
And talked until closing time.
The closer I held her,
The more I knew her destiny.
Wasn't that far from mine.

Than I saw a reflection of someone unfamiliar.
Looking back when I looked in her eyes.
The happiest man I'd ever seen,
And it was me.

And we danced every song that they played,
And talked until closing time.
The closer I held her,
The more I knew her destiny.
Wasn't that far from mine.

She wasn't looking,
And I wasn't looking.
Ain't it funny?
That's when love was found.
She still calls it her lucky night,
Yeah, someone was lucky.
She's right,
But it was me.


3.Brothers of the Highway

Diamonds on the windshield, as heaven starts to cry,
In his rearview mirror, his angle waves goodbye,
She knows he's got to go, she knows he's one of them,

Brothers of the highway, children of the wind,
That detroit diesel piarot ship goes rollin out again,
Sailin for that settin sun, freedoms your best friend,
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

He putts the peddel to the metal, tring to out run the rain,
Another shot of truck stop coffee, goes runnin through his
vains,
This country turns on eighteen wheels, thank god we can depend,
on

Brothers of the highway, children of the wind,
That detroit diesel piarot ship goes rollin out again,
Sailin for that settin sun, freedoms your best friend,
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.

Carolina west to Denver,
Batton Rouge east to Pittsburg,
Portland south to San Diago,
Sail on sail on,
Talahasy north to Boston,
Up to Bangor west to Austin,
Coast to coast. sea to sea,
Sail on sail on, you

Brothers of the highway, children of the wind,
That detroit diesel piarot ship goes rollin out again,
Sailin for that settin sun, freedoms your best friend,
Brothers of the highway, children of the wind.
God bless you brothers of the highway, children of the wind.


4.River of Love

Hey baby, won't you take a little ride with me.
Have a look around,
See what we can see.
I've got the paddle,
I've got the boat.
Come on baby, I know she'll float.

We'll go rolling on the river of love,
We'll go rolling on the river of love.

Drift away from all these city lights,
Might rock a little bit,
So hold on tight.
Let's get carried away with the gentle flow.
Might get caught up in its undertow.

We'll go rolling on the river of love,
Let's go rolling on the river of love.

I got a little ukulele, let me sing you a song.
Got a stream of kisses about ten miles long.
Dancing on the water in the moonlight beach.
Sparkling down through the sea of dreams.

We'll go rolling on the river of love,
We'll go rolling on the river of love.

We'll go rolling on the river of love,
We'll go rolling on the river of love.

River of love, River of love, River of love.
Rolling on the river of love,
Let's go rolling, rolling on the river of love.
Let's go rolling on the river of love.
Rolling on the river of love.
Rolling on the river of love.
Let's go rolling, rolling on the river of love.


5.House of Cash

Well the House of Cash just burned down
All the way to the cold hard ground
The doctors came from all over town
To see the memories scattered all around

Then the stars came out by the light of day
And they heard their old friend passed away
That yard looked like a funeral hall
Without the pies and casseroles

Well, it's goodbye Johnny, goodbye June
Goodbye fancy living room
Well no one sleeps in Cash's bed
Except the man in black and the woman he wed
And the ring of fire comes full circle
And the ring of fire comes all the way around

And if those ashes in the pool could talk
To the anchor man out on the walk
I'd bet they'd be happy to announce
There'll be no yard sale now

Well, it's goodbye Johnny, goodbye June
Goodbye fancy living room
Well no one sleeps in Cash's bed
Except the man in black and the woman he wed
And the ring of fire comes full circle
And the ring of fire comes all the way around

And the ring of fire comes full circle
And the ring of fire comes all the way around


6.I Saw God Today

Just walked down the street to the coffee shop
Had to take a break
I'd been by her side for 18 hours straight
Saw a flower growin' in the middle of the sidewalk
Pushin' up through the concrete
Like it was planted right there for me to see
The flashin' lights
The honkin' horns
All seemed to fade away
In the shadow of that hospital at 5:08
I saw God today

I've been to church
I've read the book
I know he's here
But I don't look
Near as often as I should
Yeah, I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today

Saw a couple walkin' by they were holdin' hands
Man she had that glow
Yeah I couldn't help but notice she was startin' to show it
Stood there for a minute takin' the sky
Lost in that sunset
Splash of amber melted in the shades of red

I've been to church
I've read the book
I know he's here
But I don't look
Near as often as I should
Yeah, I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today

Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass
She's sleepin' like a rock
My name on her wrist
Wearin' tiny pink socks
She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes
My brand new baby girl
She's a miracle
I saw God today


7.Give Me More Time

A banker and a farmer discuss the bottom line
It ain't rained and all the crops are dying vine
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

That farm has been in my family going on a hundred years
We pulled through hard times before with blood, sweat and tears
Give me more time
I need more time

O what would he give for a little more time?

Two lovers at a table, candle, light and wine
One's looking for an answer, the other one can't find
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

She says you know I love you, but my heart's in a bind
Afraid you're gonna leave me if I don't amke up my mind
Give me more time
I gotta have more time

Some have barely any, some too much on their hands
Some would give anything to have it back again

The patient and his doctor meet behind closed doors
You're kiddin' me, how could this be? I'm only twenty-four
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

Give me more time


8.When You're In Love


9.Make Her Fall In Love With Me Song

Play me a Dancer, a Holder-Hander, or Honky-Tonker,
Pull-Her-Up-Closer,Slow Romancer,
Make Her Fall in Love with Me Song.

The room is swimmin' with perty women,
But how's a fella supposed to get close to 'em?
The band is rockin, the joint is jumpin',
Mr. Guitar Man let me tell you somethin'.
Play me a Dancer, a Holder-Hander, or Honky-Tonker,
Pull-Her-Up-Closer,Slow Romancer,
Make Her Fall in Love with Me Song.

I see a redhead, I see a brunnette,
And there's a blonde I love I don't even know yet.
I'm going crazy, you got to save me.
I need a hugger and I don't mean maybe.

Play me a Dancer, a Holder-Hander, or Honky-Tonker,
Pull-Her-Up-Closer,Slow Romancer,
Make Her Fall in Love with Me Song.

Play me a Dancer, a Holder-Hander, or Honky-Tonker,

Just-a-Little-Softer-So-She-Can-Hear-Me-Whisper, Slow Romancer,
Make Her Fall in Love with Me Song.


10.West Texas Town

I'm on my way to Amarillo
I can't seem to get my fill of that
Little west Texas Town
I've got a sweet thing built, right Betty
Head to toe, shes mighty pretty
Living in that west Texas town

Friday comes, it's time to roll
Time for me to hit the road
I've got my eyes on the horizon
My little dish in that panhandle
Lights up like a Roman Candle
When I reach that west Texas town

Ah, sing it Dean
From Big Spring all the way to Plainview
I can't wait to get to you know who
In that west Tesas town
I drive through hell and half of Texas
Just to get to her by breakfast
Waiting in the west Texas town

Friday comes, it's time to roll
Time for me to hit the road
I've got my eyes on the horizon
My little dish in that panhandle
Lights up like a Roman Candle
When I reach that west Texas town

Baby, turn the porch light on
Your big Poppa's coming home
To that west Texas town
Awwww...


11.House With No Doors

I was there in my trailer,
Down at the job site
The day that this stranger walked in
His face looked so sad, and he carried a set of blueprints
And as I unrolled them, the first thing I noticed
Was there were no doors in the plans
He said if you build this for me
Then when she comes back
She'll never be able to leave me again

I said if I did
And she ever came back
Friend, tell me how would she get in
It would just be a prison that I locked you in
If you couldn't leave
You'd never know if there was someone to love you
The way that she didn't before
There's two things that I know for sure
It's that you can't make a women feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no doors

O'while he was quiet, I could tell he was thinking
I thought I just ruined his day
I just couldn't bear to see this man's last hope slip away
So I thought real fast, and I started talking
Said Buddy we tried this before,
And if there ain't one, she'll make one
Either way she'll run
And leave you a house with a hole for a door

I said if I did
And she ever came back
Friend, tell me how would she get in
It would just be a prison that I locked you in
If you couldn't leave
You'd never know if there was someone to love you
The way that she didn't before
If there's two things that I know for sure
It's that you can't make a women feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no doors

No, you can't make a women feel something she don't
And you can't build a house with no doors
