Lyrics
I've gotta thank country music for making me a modern-day Romeo
'cause the greatest love lines I've ever used I stole from the kings of country radio
So when my own romancing sounds like a worn out greeting card
I mix a little bit of Twitty with a pearl from Merle
And George Strait from the heart.
STRAIT FROM THE HEART, STRAIT FROM THE HEART
I MIX A LITTLE BIT OF TWITTY WITH A PEARL FROM MERLE
AND GEORGE STRAIT FROM THE HEART.
When I whisper sweet nothings in my baby's ear and I get a bored look I know
It's time to get my pen and paper out and fire up my old stereo
For when I see the need arise to expand my repertoire
I mix a little bit of Twitty with a pearl from Merle
And George Strait from the heart.
(chorus)
Just a little George Jones and my baby moans
You know it makes her feel alright
And a hint of Hank is like money in the bank
When we're dancing on a Saturday night.
(chorus)
