If you know me, you know how much I love George Strait. Those tear-jerker songs that you need to pull you through a tough time of when your girl drives off into the sunset. That’s what this song does for me. One of the last songs we wrote in Terlingua.
Don’t anybody know what that old steel guitar is for?
(Intro)
Turnin’ the radio dial
Combin’ the airwaves for an AM station out of Houston
I’ve driven a thousand miles
All I know’s this trip’s sure been a long one and a rough one
Guess you could say I could use a shoulder
And some ol tune to slow me down or pull me over
(Chorus)
Ain’t anybody playing sad songs anymore?
Don’t anybody know what that ol steel guitar is for?
Old cowboys like me dead set on being free
Who leave the only freedom they’re ever gonna find cryin’ at loves front door
Ain’t anybody playin sad songs anymore
(Verse)
Turnin’ it all in my mind
Knowin’ it’s gonna be hard cause it’s over and I knew it when she said it
It’s gonna take some time
And every heartache needs highway and a DJ and sunset
I don’t wanna hear about forever
I’m falling apart just tryin’ to keep it all together
(Chorus)
Ain’t anybody playing sad songs anymore?
Don’t anybody know what that ol steel guitar is for?
Old cowboys like me dead set on being free
Who leave the only freedom they’re ever gonna find cryin’ at loves front door
Ain’t anybody playin sad songs anymore
Turnin’ the radio dial
Combin’ the airwaves for an AM station out of Houston
