George Strait - I Can't See Texas From Here Lyrics

Our school in Jr. Beta for the convention today we're doing a dance to this

One of the few songs he actually wrote

I still can't see Texas from the empire state building Haha well for anyone listening to this and a yeeeeee haaaah!!!!

Now I come and go as I please.
From down here, up North and in between,
But baby it's a shame 'cause I always feel the same
When I can't see Texas from here.

I can't see Texas from here.
No matter how I try, it makes me want to die.
So if you see me lookin' down,
I'm tryin' not to show this frown
'Cause I can't see Texas from here.
*******
I can't say I don't like Tennessee.
The people here have all been good to me.
So please don't take offense if I start to get intense
Just 'cause I can't see Texas from here.

I can't see Texas from here.
No matter how I try, it makes me want to die.
So if you see me lookin' down,
I'm tryin' not to show this frown
'Cause I can't see Texas from here.
*******
I can't see Texas from here.
No matter how I try, it makes me want to die.
So if you see me lookin' down,
I'm tryin' not to show this frown
'Cause I can't see Texas,I can't see Texas,
I can't see Texas, from here...

wonder why George didn;t think this was good song. on of my favs. does anyone know who played that FIDDLE

jennifur sun Buddy Spicher maybe. Not Gene Edlers, surprisingly enough. The man who has made the Amarillo by Morning fiddle solo immortal in live concerts.

Too bad he and MCA didn't release this as a single. would have gone #1. Not only could George sing them to the top, he can write good songs as well!!

It WAS the only song he both wrote and recorded between 1981 and 2009.

The cowboy rides away concert at atand t stadium was awesome he wil be king Jorge straight fore ever

straight Jorge strait fan the concert at at and t was awesome he will be king Jorge fore ever

I'm bummed that he retired from the singing business. Him and Randy Travis are my two favorite country singers ever.

He just retired from touring. He's still going to record.

Cliff M. He’s touring again!

The best

He retired from headline touring, not touring.

Good taste in music.

Texas Swing feels like home ...

Super song and super singer.

Hi Winston, I'm a new subscriber to your channel. You have an awesome George Strait music collection. I was looking for an old tune from the album Strait From The Heart, it is called The Steal of the Night, I was wondering if you had that song to up load? No one else has that song from George on YouTube. Thanks.

I love George Strait and, I love Texas

Hey this is the first time I heard this song....and I like it!!! Great song George!!

Hey George, how 'bout a few more western swing songs again?

Pretty much this.

HE AND his son have written other songs but i think this was his first!

Only song George Strait ever wrote.

Christian Costello He's written numerous songs. "I don't want to talk it over anymore", "just can't go on dying like this" to name a few. George was a great songwriter, far better than he gives himself credit for.

I agree. If George has put more effort into it, he could maybe be closer to Garth in terms of album sales. Same with his guitar playing. He acts like he is not a great player, but you can tell he knows how to play well.

I LOVE this man so much! it has been about 20 years since I Have had the honor of seeing him perform in concert but I have been in love with him for about 30 or more years!

This is one of my favorites in concert. I went to 11 "Strait" years of concerts, starting with the George Strait Festival's on into the '00's. We only stopped going because, 1) His tour stops changed and weren't around here and 2) The drunker. Seems as the years went on the worse they got. Singing LOUD and off key with a drunken stupor and spilling beer everywhere. I don't drink and can't stand the smell of beer so, having it dumped on you and spilled all over your stuff isn't fun.

Thanks, Ane

@WinstonFreedman thank-you

@rashelle97
It is a fun song! I'm glad you're trying to learn it. Maybe some day you'll be "the next big nothing!" Good luck!

man I'll bet this songs a bunch of fun to sing this is coming from a 14 year old girl that is learning to play guitar in a small ranch town in Texas and my town has no guitar instructor so I'm having to teach myself and it's really hard

rashelle97 Gotten better at guitar now?
