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.

Beyond The Blue Neon Lyrics

George Strait

Swingin doors
Sawdust floors
A heartache drowns as the whiskey pours
Theres a hole in the wall
From some free for all
The ringin crack of that old cue ball
Ive been fallin in here
For what seems like years
Where the tears and the lonely belong
And wonder whats going on
Beyond that blue neon
Chorus:
I hear tell theres people out there who dont know
What losin you means
They dont have a heart
That just falls apart
At the mention of your name
I heard they pretend
The world didnt end
Right when I knew you were gone
I guess life still goes on
Beyond that blue neon
Chorus
But its a quarter til two
And I dont have a clue
As to what Ill do from now til dawn
I wonder whats going on
Beyond that blue neon
Lord, whats going on
Beyond that blue neon
