Strait, George - The Chill Of An Early Fall Lyrics






Well her old friend, from her own end of town dropped by today,
And way down deep inside me something died
When he came 'round to see her that way.
Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind
Will blow like a cold winter squall.
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

And I'll be drinking again and thinking whenever he calls,
There's a storm coming on, it won't be too long till the snow falls.
Oh I'll be sobersome,
But when October comes and goes and no time at all
I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

Oh how quick they slip away, here today and gone tomorrow.
Love and seasons never stay, bitter winds are sure to follow.
Now there's no doubt, it's gonna be cold out tonight;
I've shivered all day, and when I look in her eyes
Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away.

Oh she'll swear that it's true, he's just someone she knew
Long ago, and I'll know that's not all,
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.
Oh I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

    Well her old friend,
    from her own end of town dropped by today,
    And way down deep inside me something died
    When he came 'round to see her that way
    .
    Here it comes again that same old chilly wind
    Will blow like a cold winter squall.
    And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

    And I'll be drinking again
    and thinking whenever he calls,
    There's a storm coming on,
    it won't be too long till the snow falls.

    Oh I'll be sober some,
    But when October comes and goes and no time at all
    I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.
    +++++++++++++++
    Oh how quick they slip away,
    here today and gone tomorrow.
    Love and seasons never stay,
    bitter winds are sure to follow.

    Now there's no doubt,
    it's gonna be cold out tonight;
    I've shivered all day and when I look in her eyes
    Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away.

    Oh she'll swear that it's true,
    he's just someone she knew long ago,

  53. j.... b....

    you kids forgot about George JONES

    j.... b....

    jimbo boogie WHO GIVES A FUCKING SHIT ABOUT TALENTLESS ALCOHOLIC ABUSER FUCKING JOKE GEORGE JONES

  54. J.... R....

    The king of country music .

  55. A.... P....

    Kenny k ,you are about a smart ass!what the guy means about George strait being a great rancher too is some country singers may just dress the part and sing country!,But George Strait is a REAL COWBOY and the best damn country singer we will ever hear,so complain about something else that doesn't make sense!!

  56. R.... G....

    I've seen King George over 30 times...and I have to say that he is THE GREATEST performer I have EVER seen!

  57. D.... L....

    such an underrated country song.........taylor swift . and puff diddy dont seem to understand true feelings being expressed in this song.........weve all been on the outside looking in for a partner. nut hey thats life sometimes its sad sometimes its a win

  58. C.... A....

    U can't get too much more successful than George Strait. I mean, how many singers have been played on the radio 34 consecutive years without going downhill at one point. probably no one, except him. He's one of the most SUCCESSFUL singers of any genre of music.

  59. P.... W....

    So beautiful thank you for the share!!💚

    P.... W....

    Priscilla Wright It is a beautiful song.

  60. M.... M....

    My youth. Nothing better than driving on the back roads back home listening to George Strait.

  61. V.... M....

    I love George Strait!!  He's simply the BEST!! and there is no comparison.  Thanks for the grait songs and the memories that came with them.  You helped me get thru a lot of rough times George.  ;)

  62. b.... ....

    I once knew a guy from Idabel Oklahoma named John Lacy who epitomized what George Strait sang about so many years.

  63. M.... O....

    George Strait was a good country singer. I love all his songs. I listen to this song every October and November every year. We haven't had fall like weather here quite yet. We still have leaves on our trees. Going to be in the 70s here on Thursday and Friday talking thunderstorms and then Snow Saturday night. So it looks like we're going to skip fall by the end of this week.

  64. m.... r....

    very beautiful <3

  65. n.... ....

    20 people are cold and bitter about this former #1 country classic.

    n.... ....

    Maybe just bitter that the song hit too close to home. Great song but it can dig up some really shitty memories.

  66. D.... H....

    What emails

  67. L.... S....

    I think I'm feeling the Chill of an Early Fall. Smile.

  68. D.... T....

    Hubbubuhhuhuuuhuuuhuuuuuh guhuuuhuuuguguuuu

    P.... M....

  70. Z.... N....

    This is my favorite song of his I just love him so much..

  71. S.... A....

    Gary how do you know he retired

  72. G.... d....

    I miss George enjoy your retirement I enjoyed every concert I saw of you partner

    G.... d....

    Gary dalton He came out with a new album last year and I think he's still on tour. The "retirement" only lasted a few months.

    G.... d....

    GrantH He's only touring in Vegas and his new albums/ singles don't get any radio airplay...

    G.... d....

    Gary dalton He didn't retire. He merely said he was taking a break from stadium touring for now.

  73. S.... O....

    GEORGE STRAIT (OTHER THAN CHRIS LEDOUX)IS THE ONLY REAL COWBOYS OF COUNTRY MUSIC AS I KNOW IT!!!!I WAS PRIVILEGED TO GET TO SEE HIM WITHVALAN JACKSON ON THE "MURDER ON MUSIC ROW" TOUR

  74. J.... L....

    this song is hitting home for me!! I miss my love

  75. G.... P....

    I used to like florida Georgia line and then realized this was real country.

    G.... P....

    Why the HELL for?
    They've always SUCKED!

    G.... P....

    Glad yaw woke up. Welcome to the real world

    G.... P....

    G.... P....

    We all make mistakes and it looks like you learned from it.

  76. Z.... 5....

    What a fantastic job! But, we know, George could sing the phone book and we would love it.
    There will never b another country singer better than George Strait.
    Thank God that he IS country. Not many left nowadays.

    Z.... 5....

    Cecil Seigler I don't want to go & hear him singing any phone book neither!

    Z.... 5....

    GOOD job George.

    Z.... 5....

    countrygirl country musiclover but what she is saying is it is very non traditional now, and not one today will ever compare to GS

    Z.... 5....

    I love him ...thats all i gota say

    Z.... 5....

    No doubt, i cant listen to anything country past the 90s.

  77. C.... T....

    Good stuff right there!

  78. R.... F....

    George is the man every man we should want to be like him very humble ,he has every thing but doesn't act like he is better than anyone.that's why we love him

  79. c.... r....

    love this song makes me cry but I love him so much! Had the privilege to see him in person. Is no one like him.

    c.... r....

    +christina rotharmel Im jealous you got to see him in concert!!

    c.... r....

    yah it was him, the dixie chicks, asleep at the wheel, jo dee messina, tim mcgraw and someone else that was in 1995 i think

    c.... r....

    Sounds awesome

    c.... r....

    it was in washington dc at the rfk stadium 60000 people it was amazing

    c.... r....

    My sister had the pleasure of seeing him in concert. Wish I could have. He is my all time favorite singer.

  80. D.... J....

    George Strait the king of country, nobody comes close....sorry Hank.

    D.... J....

    +Derek Johnson Apologize to George Jones please, I know Strait has a hell of a lot of excellent songs, but saying nobody comes close is kinda silly.

    D.... J....

    George Strait is the absolute best of his era and his kind of country. just my thoughts on this discussion

    D.... J....

    Steven Cramer correct sir thanks

    D.... J....

    Derek Johnson Hank's better man & a bigger legend than this guy...
    Keep on listening to the new crap buddy!

    D.... J....

    You are one of those that love to show his ignorance. Hank was 29 when he died of an overdose. Maybe you have a different idea of what makes a man.

  81. c.... c....

    King George!!!!!  Love This Song !!!!

  82. B.... D....

    Classic,hits home & if it doesn't gotta wonder if you've ever really lived & loved i guess.

  83. D.... W....

    ACC's #98 song of the '92 survey year. King George hit #3 in Billboard, 12-14-91. God bless you, Winston, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week!

    D.... W....

    This classic should have scored a lot higher than #98 on the year end countdown. On the old chart method, "Chill Of An Early Fall" would have been King George's 23rd career #1 hit on 12-21-91. Would have had 53, but still, nobody will break George Strait's 44 career Billboard #1 hits. Just like no mlb player will break Pete Rose's 4,256 career base hits.

  84. M.... M....

    I like this song a lot. Really hits home with me. I miss you and our baby boy so much. I just wish that you never let him in . I wish you could've been stronger than that.

    M.... M....

    Michael M sorry for ur lost

  85. b.... ....

    The best thing about George Strait is that anyone can create their top Strait songs, and no matter what they'd be right!

  86. D.... S....

    Strait grew up doing ranch work and studied agriculture. Unlike so many in what is left of country music, he isn't fake.

    D.... S....

    D Storm He is a REAL urban COWBOY with 2 ranches, a mansion near San Antonio and part owner of a golf course.

    D.... S....

    Oh I must add he is a respectable kinda country that will easily have a beer with a stranger at a bar. I have heard of a few stories about him in Texas.

    D.... S....

    D Storm What the hell does ranch work have to do with his music? Have You lost your mind?

    D.... S....

    Kenny K I think you got up on the wrong side of your bed,why don't you go back to bed,then get go,go look in the mirror and you will see your problem!if you don't like George strait music,or comments that are good about him,TURN THE DAMN COMPUTER OFF OR CHANGE THE CHANNEL!

    D.... S....

    Boy...I sure am glad he was a rancher and did Ranch work before or he would be a real fake ass.His music would really STINK too....

  87. N.... C....

    I once read this was George's favorite of songs he has recorded. Easy to see why he is the King of Country. Everything he sings is great.

  88. J.... H....

    Beautiful but chills to the bone ( not b cos of the lyrics) just hits home I guess!!

    J.... H....

    I agree but from my perspective there aren't too many of "King George's" that don't chill me to the bone.

    J.... H....

    EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  89. L.... W....

    A very relatable song. I remembering being in dating relationships where this kind of thing that Strait is singing about here happened. You don't want to appear threatened or paranoid but the gut feeling is rarely wrong.

    L.... W....

    going through this at the moment..her so called high school friend...yea ok...my gut told me before she told me...trust your gut...they say..

    L.... W....

    You gut doesn't lie. Your first reaction is usually the right one

    L.... W....

    Some of my best years of my life. Sad we get older before we get wiser.He will always be in my heart.

  90. D.... M....

    its like he reaches into my soul and rips out what I have deep in there.
    and I have been athe biggest fan since 1981

  91. D.... M....

    man do I feel like this

  92. T.... C....

    This man has been country for 30 years and by country I don't mean his music is that genre this man IS COUNTRY.

  93. S.... J....

    194 likes and not one dislike!!!!

  94. M.... K....

    one of my favorites.

  95. A.... J....

    His songs are great and he sing great but that smile will tear your heart out. Love George.

  96. D.... W....

    Winston, where'd it hit #1? It was only #3 in Billboard.

  97. l.... f....

    A sad cheatin song :( ! But I Love his music!

  98. W.... ....

    This is the original version from the album of the same name. The "50 Number Ones" version is 12 seconds shorter. Someday I'll post all the shortened versions included on "50 Number Ones" and you can compare.

    W.... ....

    WinstonFreedman nice song true words

    W.... ....

    I'm so sorry for your loss
