Lyrics
'STRAIT FROM GEORGE' (THANKS GEORGE!)

I've got a song I'd like to sing for you./ And from a good source, I know it's true./I heard it on the radio, but from who you may want to know...
Well I know, I know, 'cause I heard it 'Strait from George'.
I bought some OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY near MARINA DEL REY, and before to long I'm leavin here, in a ROUND ABOUT WAY./ I'll be leavin AMARILLO BY MORNIN' and that makes my BABY BLUE,/ but RIGHT OR WRONG ya know we do what we have to do.
I know, I know, 'cause I heard it 'Strait from George'.
YOU LOOK SO GOOD IN LOVE, that I GET CARRIED AWAY/and sometimes it keeps me UP ALL NIGHT. / I know this is out of the CLEAR BLUE SKY, but I want you here to stay/ I'll need my ACE IN THE HOLE, all the way.
And I know, Iknow, cause I heard it 'Strait from George'
Darlin' don't cry 'cause it makes me DOWN & OUT,/ you know you'll always be a FIRE I CAN'T PUT OUT./ I've got a LOVE WITHOUT END for you, and YOU LOOK SO GOOD IN LOVE,/ but still you wonder why, why, because, if I stay here much longer, I'll come UNWOUND,/ ALL MY EX'S LIVE IN TEXAS, that's one reason I've found. / Darlin' come with me and you'll see that it's alright, we'll be DRINKIN' CHAMPAIGNE and feelin' no pain til the morning light.
And I know, I know, 'cause I heard it, I heard it, 'Strait from George'
I 'm gonna miss the advice, now I HATE EVERYTHING./ won't have THE FAMOUS LAST WORDS OF A FOOL. / I suppose I'll CROSS MY HEART.. WRITE THIS DOWN...and LEAD ON, /Oh, I guess THIS IS WHERE THE COWBOY RIDES AWAY...I know, Iknow, Cause I heard it, I heard it,
STRAIT FROM GEORGE!
