" Sing A Song About The Heartland"
Smokey Bearinski (get it?) was having an argument with good ol' Festus.
Smokey: "Listen.....You can call me anything that you want, Festus. The fact remains....(2.) I'm the Fireman, that's my name, and that's ALL that I'll answer to!"
Festus: "You knucklehead! Just because you put out a small kitchen fire over at Ma Smalley's don't give you no right to claim title to that there name!! Don't ya see? And furthermore, you are sitting in the chair that I wanted!!"
Smokey, AKA "The Fireman," stomped off!!
Festus yelled after him:"(1.) That wasn't my chair after all. Come on back and let's discuss this using our brains!"
Doc Adams overheard this last comment.
Doc:" Did I just hear you say that you're going to use your BRAIN?! Now THIS I want to see!!" Now it was Festus who stomped off!
Doc strolled on over to the LongBranch Saloon; Owned and managed by his friend, Kitty Russell. Kitty, still trying to recover from her broken relationship with U.S.Marshal Matt Dillon, was "nursing" a glass of whiskey.
Doc:" Kitty. Do you have a beer in this establishment for an over-worked,underpaid doctor of medicine?!" Kitty smiled.
Kitty: " How about one on the house?" Doc thought that was a fine idea. As they sat there talking, in wandered Festus.
Festus:"Well, howdy Miss Kitty? What are yer sitting with this mangy old buzzard fer?!" She laughed.
Kitty: Festus? Could you use a beer?"
Festus:"Well, that would be just fine, 'cept I done spent my last dime at Sunday morning collection." Doc rubbed his face.
Doc:"Kitty....(3.) If you'll buy that, I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona I'd like to sell you!" Kitty laughed and sat a spell with her two friends.
In a few minutes, Matt popped in as he was doing his rounds. Kitty perked up, pinched her cheeks for some color, and smiled .
Doc:" Hello, Matt. Care to join us?"
Matt:"No thanks, Doc. I'm beat. Going back to the farm for a little R &R." The farm he was referring to was owned by his new girlfriend, Sunshine MacGillicutty.
As he turned to leave, Doc and Festus started giggling. They knew what kind of R&R Matt was talking about.
Kitty, dejected that Matt didn't want to stay, turned to her two friends....."What are YOU two fools laughing about?!" She started to pour another drink but changed her mind. She simply put the bottle to her mouth and took a long gulp!
CUT TO COMMERCIAL.
When Matt reached the farm,he paused for a minute to look at the beautiful wild flowers down by the lake.Sunshine's favorite flowers: http://www.danish-schnapps-recipes.com/images/landscape-lake-wild-flowers.jpg
He heard Sunshine singing and playing her guitar. That always brought a smile to his face and a feeling of pride. He rode his horse down a secluded area .There sat Sunshine, lost in her music:

Sunshine: (4.) "Baby, (Quick!!) write this down! I just thought of some great lyrics to my new song." Matt got a pencil and some paper from his vest pocket.
Matt: " What's it about?"
Sunshine: "Not totally sure, yet."
Matt:" Why not(6.) Sing a song about the Heartland?"
Sunshine pondered that thought......"Well,...hmmmm.... Let's see." As Matt watched, Sunshine started playing her guitar and stomping up some dust as she belted out her song:
♫ " Sing a song about pigs and horses. Sing a song about a big barn bed. ( She winked at Matt.)
Sing a song about about flowers in the meadow....Down by the lake next to the shed.
Sing a song about wild geese flying . And sing as loud as you can.
Sing a song about this life that we're living. Together hand in hand ......Hmmmmm....together in the heart~land.♫"
She then put her guitar down,smiled at Matt and ....................
Jumped in the lake!!

Matt , as always , was taken aback!
He laughed:"(5.) That woman that I had wrapped around my finger just come unwound!! .....And I love it."
He took off his gunbelt and joined her!!

Now,baby, write this down, that woman I had wrapped around my finger just come unwound.And I know that because I'm the fireman, that's my name. I tried to sing a song about the Heartland, but when I went home to sit down and mull it all over I realized that wasn't my chair after all. I asked my wife where that chair came from and she said she bought it with money she found under the sofa cushions. Now if you'll buy that I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona.

George Strait started yelling to his girlfriend "hey baby, write this down" She looked over at him with a strange expression on her face. Se knew he was drunk again and had come up with another "hit record" and wanted her to write down the lyrics. Usually when he looked it over the next day it was a total bomb! She liked to indulge him anyways so said, "Allright Georgi" {She called him her Georgi Porgi}.
He started like this:
" I sing a song about the heartland
I love my baby, where do I land
I land on earth and she shows me her
hand. She has two aces, I'm her man
I'm the fireman, thats my name
Give me some love and I'll show you
my game"
She listened and wrote at the same time thinking that it sucked big time! He kept on going:
"That wasn't my chair after all
I think I saw it at the mall
I'm so afraid off it I'll fall"
He said, "Wow, I'm great aint I?' I said "yea" and kept writing.
"That woman that I had wrapped around
my finger just came unwound
She once was lost but now she's found"
He was plum tuckered out now and started to doze. Before he passed out he asked me "Wasn't that the best song ever sweetie?"
I said "Yes, and if you'll buy that, I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona" He was snoring by this time!

Giving up your position as father at the dining room table because your job as a fireman is too demanding must be a terrible dilemma. My guess it that it's really another woman who doesn't nag about your job. Your wife must really be threatening to do something outrageous to come unwound like she has. Yes, your life as a child in the Heartland certainly didn't prepare you for all of this.

As far as I know, the only song George has ever written is, "I Can't See Texas From Here". It was on his second album, "Strait From the Heart".
