Lyrics : Troubadour

I still feel 25, most of the time.
I still raise a little cain with the boys.
Honky tonks and pretty women.
Lord I'm still right there with them.
Singing above the crowd and the noise.


(Chorus)
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James,
Still trying to make a name.
Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am.
I was a young troubadour, when I rode in on a song.
and I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone.

Well, The truth about a mirror, It's that a damned old mirror,
Don't really tell the whole truth.
It don't show what's deep inside, or read between the lines,
it's really no reflection of my youth.

(Repeat Chorus)

I was a young troubadour, when I rode in on a song.
I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone.
I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone.

GEORGE STRAIT RECEIVES GRAMMY NOMINATION FOR BEST COUNTRY ALBUM

Nashville, TN – December 2, 2011 -- Nominations for the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards® (www.grammy.com) were announced this week by The Recording Academy® and reflected an eclectic mix of the best and brightest in music over the past year, as determined by the voting members of The Academy. Superstar George Strait received a Grammy nod for Best Country Album for his recent release HERE FOR A GOOD TIME. This marks his 4th album in a row to be nominated for the prestigious Grammy award.

Strait’s 39th studio album HERE FOR A GOOD TIME received rave reviews and is his eighth consecutive studio album to debut at #1 on the Top Country Album chart and his 24th overall #1 album. His CD also debuted at #3 on The Billboard 200 (behind Lil Wayne and Adele).

The title track “Here For A Good Time,” written by Strait, his son Bubba Strait and songwriter Dean Dillon, is his 58th number one single. This also marks Strait’s first number one as a songwriter (an accomplishment he proudly shares with his son). His current single “Love’s Gonna Make It Alright” is currently at #32 on Mediabase and #28 on Billboard radio charts.

January 2012 begins a new year and a new tour for Superstar George Strait. The King of Country kicks off his 2012 tour January 27th in Lafayette, Louisiana and to date, the tour itinerary includes stops in Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, Oklahoma, Nevada, Utah and Kansas.
