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.

Blame It On Mexico Lyrics

George Strait

In a bar in acuna called ma crosbys
I found myself not feeling any pain
I told a frisco girl Id come for freedom
She said shed only come to catch a train
We struck up some idle conversation
Traded all the troubles on our minds
One thing led to another in the evening
And I fell in love again for my last time
Blame it on mexico if you need a reason
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Blame it on mexico, but shes the reason
That I fell in love again for my last time
Daylight dawned and found me in del rio
In a rundown motel room as dark as hell
I felt all the pains of a morning after
And all alone as far as I could tell
Why she left I have no way of knowing
I guess she caught her train and thats a crime
She took everything I ever wanted
And I fell in love again for my last time
Blame it on mexico if you need a reason
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Blame it on mexico, but shes the reason
That I fell in love again for my last time
