This is one of George Strait’s latest performances. George performed a tribute song as he remembers his good friend Charley Pride during the star-studded television special, CMT Giants: Charley Pride. The show debuted on Wednesday, August 25, 2021. Strait sang Charlie Pride’s chart-topping hit, “Is Anybody Goin To San Antone.” This song was released in 1970 and was co-written by Glenn Martin and Dave Kirby and served as the lead single from Pride’s 10th studio album.

Is Anybody Goin’ to San Antone
Charley Pride
Rain drippin’ off the brim of my hat
It sure is cold today
And here I am walkin’ down 66
Wish she hadn’t done me that way
Sleepin’ under a table in a roadside park
A man could wake up dead
But it sure seems warmer than it did
Sleepin’ in our king sized bed
Is anybody goin’ to San Antone
Or Phoenix, Arizona?
Any place is all right as long as I
Can forget I’ve ever known her
Wind whippin’ down the neck of my shirt
Like I ain’t got nothin’ on
But I’d rather fight, the wind and rain
Than what I’ve been fightin’ at home
Yonder comes a truck with the U.S. Mail
People writin’ letters back home
Tomorrow she’ll probably want me back
But I’ll still be just as gone
Is anybody goin’ to San Antone
Or Phoenix, Arizona?
Any place is all right as long as I
Can forget I’ve ever known her
Any place is all right as long as I
Can forget I’ve ever known her
