About the song
**George Strait**. Just the name conjures up images of timeless country music, doesn’t it? And when you mention “**Ocean Front Property**,” well, you’re talking about a true classic. This song, released in 1986, isn’t just a tune; it’s a story, a slice of life, delivered with that smooth, unmistakable voice that’s made Strait a legend.
Now, what’s so special about “**Ocean Front Property**”? On the surface, it’s a clever play on words. You’ve got this fella, see, who’s telling his ex that if she believes he’s still in love with her, well, then he’s got some “ocean front property in Arizona” to sell her. It’s a humorous way of saying, “You’re living in a fantasy!” But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find it’s more than just a witty line. It’s about that universal experience of trying to move on from a relationship, of dealing with someone who just won’t accept that it’s over.
Strait’s delivery is what really sells it. There’s no over-the-top drama, no shouting or wailing. It’s just a straightforward, honest performance, like he’s having a conversation with you. He’s got that knack for making you feel like you’re right there with him, sharing a knowing nod and a chuckle. And let’s not forget the music itself. That classic country sound, with its fiddle and steel guitar, it’s the perfect backdrop for the story he’s telling. It’s the kind of tune that sticks with you, that you find yourself humming along to long after it’s over.
“**Ocean Front Property**” isn’t just a great song; it’s a reminder of why George Strait is considered the “King of Country.” He’s a master storyteller, a true entertainer, and this song is just one example of his incredible talent. So, sit back, relax, and let George Strait take you for a little trip down memory lane. You won’t regret it.

Lyrics
If you leave me
I won’t miss you
And I won’t ever take you back
Girl, your memory
Won’t ever haunt me
‘Cause I don’t love you
And now if you’ll buy that
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch, you can see the sea
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you’ll buy that, I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free
I don’t worship
The ground you walk on
I never have, and that’s a fact
I won’t follow or try to find you
‘Cause I don’t love you
Now if you’ll buy that
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch, you can see the sea
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you’ll buy that, I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch, you can see the sea
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
If you’ll buy that, I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free
Yeah, if you’ll buy that, I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free
