About the Song
Crank Up the Jukebox, Honey, It’s George Strait Time!
Ah, “Here for a Good Time”, the kind of song that makes you tap your boot heel and raise a glass, even if you’re sittin’ on the porch swing or cruisin’ down a dusty highway in your mind. It’s a George Strait classic, pure and simple, and it’s got the power to transport you right back to the heart of Texas, where the sun hangs low and the music runs deep.
Now, I know what some of you might be thinkin’. “George Strait? Isn’t that for the younger folks?” Well, hold on there, partner. This ain’t your grandpa’s honky-tonk. Strait’s voice is like aged whiskey, smooth and warm, with a touch of grit that tells you he’s seen a thing or two. And the lyrics, well, they’re like worn denim, fittin’ you just right and speakin’ a truth that resonates across generations.
“Here for a Good Time” ain’t just a party anthem, though it sure does get the feet movin’. It’s a celebration of life, a reminder to grab hold of the good times and let the bad ones slide on by. It’s about friends and family, about laughter and shared stories, about makin’ memories that’ll last a lifetime.
Remember those Friday nights, piled into the car with your best friends, windows down, singin’ along to the radio? “Here for a Good Time” captures that feeling perfectly. It’s the soundtrack to a backyard barbecue, a bonfire on the beach, a lazy afternoon on the porch with a guitar in hand. It’s the music that brings people together, that makes you forget your worries and just enjoy the ride.
So crank up the jukebox, honey, and let George Strait weave his magic. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just tappin’ your toes, this song’s got somethin’ for you. It’s a reminder that life’s too short to take it too seriously, that sometimes the best way to live is to simply be here for a good time.
So, grab a partner, spin around the kitchen, or just sit back and let the music wash over you. This one’s for the good times, the bad times, and all the times in between. This one’s for life, for love, for laughter. This one’s for George Strait.
Lyrics
I'm not gonna lay around
And whine and moan for somebody that done me wrong
Don't think for a minute
That I'm gonna sit around and sing some old sad song
I believe it's half-full not a half-empty glass
Every day I wake up knowing it could be my last
I ain't here for a long time
I'm here for a good time
So bring on the sunshine, to hell with the red wine
Pour me some moonshine
When I'm gone, put it in stone "He left nothing behind"
I ain't here for a long time
I'm here for a good time
Folks are always dreaming about what they like to do
But I like to do just what I like
I'll take the chance, dance the dance
It might be wrong but then again it might be right
There's no way of knowing what tomorrow brings
Life's too short to waste it, I say bring on anything
I ain't here for a long time
I'm here for a good time
So bring on the sunshine, to hell with the red wine
Pour me some moonshine
When I'm gone, put it in stone "He left nothing behind"
I ain't here for a long time
I'm here for a good time
I ain't here for a long time
I'm here for a good time
