George Strait Lyrics

Chorus:

That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps,
Staring down the road, wond’rin' if she'll come back
This time I don't know.
After she packed, when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes,
And that's got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye.
All the times before she'd break down and cry.
She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye.
She just wanted me to hear what she had to say.
Now I'm lost for words, since she went away.
She may not return for this time she didn't cry.

Chorus:

Chorus:

If you're ridin' on a gravy train
Instead of walkin down lover's lane,
You can't make hay, boy, 'cause you're goin' the wrong way boy.
You gotta get a little honey, it's better than money.
If you ain't lovin', then you ain't livin'.

If they call you a big man 'cause you gotta lotta bottom land.
If you’re kin to the president and you help run the government,
But if you're gettin' no attention, you're better off on a pension.
If you ain't lovin', then you ain't livin'.

If you got a string of long cars and you're smokin' them four - bit cigars.
You ain't no well to do unless you get a little koochi - koo.
It takes a little bit of smackin' - all your life's a - lackin'.
If you ain't lovin', then you ain't livin'.

Chorus:

Famous last words of a fool, famous last words of a fool.
"You won't break my heart," and "I don't love you."
Famous last words of a fool.

The first night without her would be easy I kept telling myself.
All the while dyin' at the thought of her lyin’ somewhere else.
And there'll be nothing to it, I'll easily find someone new,
As my breakin' heart echoed the famous last words of a fool.

Chorus:

"You won't break my heart," and "I don't love you."
Famous last words of a fool.

You've got to have an ace in the hole.
A little secret that nobody knows.
Life is a gamble, a game we all play,
But you need to save something for a rainy day.
You've got to learn to play your cards right if you expect to win in life.
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll.
You've got to have an ace in the hole.

If you're headed down a one way street.
And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go.
In money or love, or all the above,
Have a little more than what you show.
When life deals out a surprise
Have a few surprises of your own.
No matter what you do, no matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole.

Chorus:

Don’t put it all on the line for just one roll
You've got to have an ace in the hole.
No matter what you do, no matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole.

Chorus:

And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.
She brought colors to my life that my eyes had never touched.
And when she taught me how to care, I never cared so much.
I try not to think of her, but I fall asleep and do,
And drift off where the grass is green and the sky is baby blue.
