George Harvey Strait (born May 18, 1952) is an American country music artist. George Strait has marked a monumental career achievement by having more number one hit singles than any living artist, a total of 52, second only to the late Conway Twitty. Out of all the new country singers to emerge in the early '80s, George Strait stayed the closest to traditional country. Drawing from both the honky tonk and Western swing traditions, Strait didn't refashion the genres; instead, he revitalized them for a new decade. In the process, he became one of the most popular and influential singers of the decade, sparking a wave of neo-traditionalist singers from Randy Travis and Dwight Yoakam to Clint Black, Garth Brooks, and Alan Jackson.

As Far As It Goes Lyrics

George Strait

Lately I’ve found myself fallin’
Deeper in love with you
I’m not the kind of guy
Who gets swept away
So here’s what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna give you this heart of mine
But that’s where I draw the line

Chorus:
I’m only gonna give you everything
Take it a mile beyond the end of the road
I’m gonna love you one day past forever
But that’s as far as it goes

I know it may not sound like much
But baby, make no mistake
I’m gonna treat you with more tenderness
Than any one woman can take
I’m gonna make all your dreams come true
But after that, baby, I’m through

Repeat Chorus

You’ve got your limits, I’ve got mine
I’m only gonna go the distance
Time after time

Repeat Chorus

But that’s as far as it goes
