The Granger Smith Damn Strait song was released in 2019 and pays tribute to George Strait songs. Granger makes reference to a couple of hits from the King of Country including “Amarillo by Morning” and “Nobody in His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her.”
Granger stated about the song, “This song is my favorite music video and song combo we’ve released so far this year. Maybe because it feels like a throwback version of myself. Maybe because I’m the biggest Strait fan there ever was. Maybe because it makes me feel sad for the guy in the story…and sad country music makes me happy! Whatever the reason, I’m pumped to be able to share this song, video and story with y’all! Hope you like it! Give it a thumbs up if you do. Hope to see y’all at a show soon. Yee Yee!”
The music video was filmed in Granger, Texas, near his farm, and the features his wife Amber Emily Smith, along with many friends and family members. Watch the official music video and see the lyrics below.

Granger Smith Damn Strait Lyrics
Damn Strait
I was pissed off, pedal down, tearing right out of the drive
Drove damn straight
Through a couple county reds on my way to this neon dive
And damn straight
That’s how I’m gonna take it, bartender keep ’em coming all night
‘Cause I’m dropping these quarters in a jukebox
Nonstop playing every King George song
Between the steel and the whiskey, something just hit me
Maybe I might’ve been wrong
I’m living every line and nobody in his right mind
Praying that it ain’t too late
Damn Strait
Damn Strait
Why’d you have to sing that one about Amarillo
Damn Strait
That’s the one she tipped the band to play and we danced real close
Damn Strait
I was tryna get her gone but now you’ve got me holding on
And I’m dropping these quarters in a jukebox
Nonstop playing every King George song
Between the steel and the whiskey, something just hit me
Maybe I might’ve been wrong
I’m living every line and nobody in his right mind
Praying that it ain’t too late
Damn Strait
I know ’em all by heart
I’ve heard ’em all my life
But they never hit me as hard
As they are in here tonight
‘Cause I’m dropping these quarters in a jukebox
Nonstop playing every one of your songs
Between the steel and the whiskey, something just hit me
Maybe I might’ve been wrong
I’m living every line and nobody in his right mind
Praying that it ain’t too late
I never thought I’d say
Damn Strait
Damn Strait
Granger Smith Damn Strait
