George Strait Album

Cold Fort Worth beer
just ain't no good for jealous
I've 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 if 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
Well 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
Well I wonder now if it makes a difference
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind
Does Fort Worth ever, does Fort Worth ever

Any old time you get lonely,
Nights get cold or love is blue,
Just snuggle up honey; you're my one and only,
Any old time, I'm here for you.

Pay no mind to the hour
Or how far away you may be.
Any old time you can find me, drop in a dime
and there I'll be.

Any old time you start missin'
Somebody to hold, to keep you company,
I'll be willin' when you want my kissin',
Any old time, just call on me.

Pay no mind to the hour
Or how far away you may be.
Any old time you can find me, drop in a dime

Your out there somewhere and your crying
And I love you though we've never met
Wait there for me, I'll recognize you
Someone lonesome, someone hurtin', someone blue,
That'll be you

We'll help each other start all over
A tear for a tear
A shoulder for a shoulder
You'll be someone that's born to lose
'Cause I need someone like me
To hold on too

We'll help each other start all over
A tear for a tear
A shoulder for a shoulder
You'll be someone that's born to lose
'Cause I need someone like me
To hold on too

'Cause I need someone like me

As I waltz in the arms of somebody new
Could it be what I feel
may be too much too soon
But the way that you touch me, I want to give in
It's not so easy holding you when

You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy
when old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on
Keep dancing this dance all wrong

A new partner's touch to an old partner's song
I'm getting the feeling as we dance along
Two strangers tonight
won't be strangers for long
Keep dancing this dance all wrong

You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy when old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on
Keep dancing this dance all wrong

You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy
when old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on

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

I once had a love, a true and lasting love,
But the fool in me came out one night.
And with her loving eyes
she saw right through my eyes,
And she changed the night
I stepped across the line.

I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
when I started steppin' out of line.
Though she's still lovin' me
it's not the way it used to be.
That first step did something to her mind.

I watched her slip away
a little more every day
And my conscience couldn't live
with all that pain.
She's growing colder since the day I told her
And the love we had will never be the same.

I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
when I started steppin' out of line.
Though she's still lovin' me
it's not the way it used to be
That first step did something to her mind

When things get bad at home
you don't feel like being alone
And you find yourself inclined to look around.
For the feelings we once shared
are just no longer there
And love comes from the other side of town.

(Chorus)
Where love means just an hour
with your stand in
And not an empty house
where love just has been.
Since everything we've built with love
was not on solid ground
Now love comes from the other side of town.

The life I'm livin' now
just don't seem right somehow
But it's the best way
to get by that I've found.
There's no love left at home
we're both just hangin' on
And love comes from the other side of town.

(Chorus)

I knew the stakes were high right from the start
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

Chorus:
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
It's time to say good bye to yesterday
This is where the cowboy rides away

We've been in and out of love and in between
And now we play the final showdown scene
And as the credits role a sad song starts to play
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 good bye's the hardest one to say
This is where the cowboy rides away

Oh the last good bye's the hardest one to say

Sometimes I smile
When you stayed home for a while
What did you expect me to do

I always cried
Each time you tolled a lie
What did you expect me to do

Each time I forgave you
You grew bolder
And each time you hurt me
My heart grew colder
Sure I loved
But I found someone new
What did you expect me to do

Each time I forgave you
You grew bolder
And each time you hurt me
My heart grew colder
Sure I loved
But I found someone new

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've got
I can cool 'em down while they're smolderin' hot
I'm the fireman
that's my name

Last night they had a bad one a mile or two down the road
Well my buddy walked out and left this woman burnin out of control
Well I was down there 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

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've got
I can cool 'em down while they're smolderin' hot
I'm the fireman that's my name...burn 'em up

I've got fire-engine red t-bird automobile
In a minute or less I can be dressed fit to kill
I work twenty-four on and twenty-four off
When they get too hot, they just give me a call
I'm the fireman, that's my name

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've got
I can cool 'em down while they're smolderin' hot
I'm the fireman, that's my name

They call me the fireman
