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.

Gone As A Girl Can Get Lyrics

George Strait

Well I havent seen her lately
And she never calls
She dont ask my friends about me
Gives no clues at all
That a fire might still be burnin, yeah
Id say shes about as gone as a girl can get
She dont even show up in my dreams at night
But my stubborn old memory keeps holdin on tight
Sure makes it hard to forget
Shes about as gone as a girl can get
Chorus:
Shes out of here
She disappeared without a trace
More or less unimpressed
By the tears on my face
Destination unknown
She just dropped out of sight
Last seen headin right on out of my life
Like a stranger I aint never met
Shes about as gone as a girl can get
Repeat chorus
Like a stranger I aint never met
Well Id say shes about as gone as a girl can get
