Strait, George - Stars On The Water Lyrics






Down in Louisiana bayous by and by
A peirot pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
Beer joint lights come on
And then crowd starts rollin' in
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
When it rains

Beaumont to Biloxi sea breeze at your door
Gypsy rains dang hurricanes
White silver sandy shores
Blue light lounge is shinin'
Why out on the pier
Makes it look just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
When it rains

When it's midnight down in Mobile
Shining moon beams on the bay
They come from miles around
To dance the jukebox down
Th hear the good time sounds they play
And all across the harbor night life shinin' on
Makes you feel just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
When it rains

  34. A.... J....

    Need some Miss self proclaimed BAD A**YES! another Texas Native.Tanya Tucker Songs like Hangin In,Don't Go Out,and It's A Little Too Late.❤That name was on on her Tennessee License Plate in the mid 90's.🤠👍

  35. A.... J....

    You still have your channel? I seen comments from 4-years ago.I just had to see by commenting on one the Greatest Singer Ever In Music History.🤠👍

  36. A.... J....

    Way past due,time to name an Elementary School,or Jr.High School after George Strait in his hometown of Pearland,Texas.Now as a native Texan I will sign the petition.🤠🤠👍👍

    A.... J....

    He was raised in Pearsall, Texas. Maybe you meant that instead of Pearland?

    A.... J....

    @pencil whip Yeah! I knew it was in the south near Houston,and it began with a letter P. I stand corrected Thank You,still name a school after him in that city,and name the Gymnasium after Dean Dillon..man! that dude can write some country music songs!❤👏👏👍

    A.... J....

    Anthony Jolly Pearsall is not even close to Houston it’s closer to San Antonio birthplace of the cattle drives. George Strait is a real cowboy from south Texas.

    A.... J....

    100% Texan O.K.Thanks for the info,I think he competed in cattle ropeing, just like Reba McIntire does barrel raceing.Do you know the population of Pearsall,Tx? He is retired right? I got in too country music late summer 1989.I know a little about it.My Favorites are ❤Kay Oslin,❤Tanya Tucker (a Texan) ❤Trisha Yearwood,and another Texan Barbra Mandrell❤Thank You Sir from Texas🤠

    A.... J....

    Pearland is hot his home town.

  37. D.... R....

    I remember when I was little my momma would be getting ready to go to work and I would be laying in bed dressed and waiting for her to take me t of school. I was born jan.3 1972
    This song would be on the clock radio playing. . I miss her .. and love this song .

  38. I.... O....

    I always thought he used the autotune to make his voice sound like a reflection on the water (if that makes any sense). I think it fits quite well actually but that's just my opinion.

  39. D.... R....

    This is my favorite country song by george straight and this song is my absolute favorite .if I randomly meet a country boy or men if that play this song you'll audiomadicaully have my key to my heart . And someone to treat me right

  40. b.... J....

    Guys you should see Herbie stutes he has a kid with he sings putty good

  41. D.... I....

    I may be wrong but autotune isn't the same as using a vocoder like in this song

  42. R.... W....

    Too bad this wasn't live......good song

  43. s.... ....

    its almost like you can hear the autotune!

  44. M.... J....

    The Man

  45. D.... F....

    Haha why don't they play this at Stateline

  46. C.... C....

    Can we say, autooooo tune? Damn George Strait sounding like T Pain.

  47. C.... D....

    God bless Texas

  48. s.... s....

    Goodmorning..Lake Charles, La.Stars on da water,awesome 👍♪♪♪♪♪♪♪😎

  49. P.... F....

    I'll meet you anywhere.

  50. T.... M....

    George always makes me love him more every time I hear voice. Hes so country. Not a wanna be but plain darn country. My favorite of all.

    T.... M....

    For sure, he was a rodeo team roper before hitting it big. And he has a degree in agriculture.

  51. S.... D....

    My all time favorite from, King George

  52. B.... H....

    Please put at an Album without Auto-Tune. :) We loved your natural human voice... I will buy it!

  53. B.... H....

    I remember every morning when my mother drove me to daycare she would let me DJ by choosing which CDs to play and I would always play this song :)

  54. T.... E....

    "Nice!!!!"

  55. J.... A....

    King George 🤠

  56. V.... ....

    Not bad not bad at all. :]

  57. S.... P....

  58. S.... P....

    Happy New Year, Sir.

  59. S.... P....

    Praise God.

  60. S.... P....

    Amen. Merry Christmas, remain blessed.

  61. M.... ....

    It's autotune for sure but I still love him. This was the road less traveled album in 2001 when it was not considered a crutch to use it. He definitely didn't need it though. It was a cool effect for the song though.

  62. W.... I....

    What a shame with that autotune, this would be such an amazing song without it... are there any versions free of it??

  63. S.... P....

    Thank you.

  64. s.... b....

    Good morning, Sir. May God bless Texas, Amen.

  69. A.... S....

    Majesty king of Texas Majesty king and country but the king of Texas for helping people and hurricane Harvey

  70. S.... P....

    It is crystal clear to me and everyone else who watched the November 6th 2013 event of the year knows why the Texan, King George Harvey Strait won the Entertainer of The Year. I watched the televised episode on my personal television set as I was pondering about the meaning of life and praying for God's forgiveness for people who were not kind to me, my family, and friends. It's been more than thirty years and his music makes me happy still. Praise God.

  71. D.... A....

  96. T.... ....

    I like autotune when done right. And it's a relatively new technique so we're still trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. Hearing it try to Squeeze George's great voice into it's digital mold is not pleasant though. I'm glad this was just a one off for George. I'm not glad that the country auto-tune trend seems to be on the rise.

    T.... ....

    @TheNeemaV Very True, I agree!

    T.... ....

    @TheNeemaV Bring back vinyl records and vacuum tubes. Best sound.
