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.

Home Improvement Lyrics

George Strait

The walls that surround us
Are slowly crumblin' down
But the heart of this foundation
Is still on solid ground
Just needs some renovation and a lot of TLC
And a long night of lovin' is all that we both need

Chorus:
So roll the shades down
Lock the doors up tight
Turn on the code-a-phone
If the door bell rings
We'll just stay in bed and pretend nobody's home
Let the neighbors think we moved away
Or forgot to pay the rent
There ain't nothing wrong with this old house
It just needs a little home improvement

Every day we go our separate ways
To make our dreams come true
But it ain't worth the sacrifice
If we're giving up me and you
We gotta hold on tighter than tight
To the ties that make us strong
And get back to the roots
That made this house a home

Repeat Chorus Twice
