Strait Country

(专辑： The Compass Project - West Album - 2023)

I grew up with just a few heroes back when I was small
My daddy, and both of my grandpas, but that wasn't all
When I got my first guitar, the first song that I ever played
Was by George Strait

I started picking 'round town, I'd go down to the ol' rodeo
I'd sing Amarillo, and all of the songs that they'd know
When I played for a crowd, well, they'd always cheer loud for me
When I played Strait country
Oh, Strait country

There ain't no other guy
Who quite changed my life
I sang right along
With his style and his songs
He made an impression on me
Oh, Strait country
Oh, Strait country

Well, I packed up for Music City when I was nineteen
Left my band, and a girlfriend, oh Lord, it was so hard to leave
But I took every record that he ever made
And I told myself I'd make it someday
'Cause all that I wanted to be
Was Strait country

There ain't no other guy
Who quite changed my life
I sang right along
With his style, and his songs
He made an impression on me
Yeah, Strait country
Oh, Strait country
Strait country
Oh, Strait country

I grew up with just a few heroes back when I was small
My daddy and both of my grandpas, but that wasn't all
