About the song
George Strait – full name George Harvey Strait – is one of the most famous and influential country music artists in the history of American music. He was born on May 18, 1952 in the small town of Poteet, Texas, and grew up in a farming family. Since childhood, George loved music and especially country music – a genre of music with folk influences, closely associated with the lives of people in rural America.
His career began in the 1980s and quickly achieved great success. To date, George Strait has had more than 60 songs topping the Billboard Country charts, something no other artist has achieved. His performance style is always simple, sincere, unpretentious, and his music reflects the spirit of the people of the American West: hard-working, emotional and self-respecting.
One of George Strait’s favorite songs in recent years is “Código,” from his 2019 album Honky Tonk Time Machine. “Código” means “code” in Spanish, but here, it’s the name of a premium tequila brand that George Strait co-founded and loves. The song “Código” is not simply about a type of alcohol, but also a celebration of the joy of life, relaxation, and simple but memorable moments – like when friends gather, raise a glass, tell jokes, and enjoy every minute together.
With a cheerful melody, a gentle rhythm, and a traditional country music sound, this song is easy to listen to and easy to feel. George Strait uses his warm voice to create a close musical space, helping listeners feel the warmth and familiarity, like sitting on the porch, watching the sunset and sipping some wine with friends.
“Código” is a testament to how George Strait keeps the traditional spirit of country music alive while still bringing a fresh, vibrant feel. For music lovers, especially those who love country music, this is a song worth listening to, and George Strait is an artist who deserves to be respected.

Lyrics
Baby, just like you
It’s something new
I just had to try
I didn’t plan on it
But a sip and you’ll want it
It’s a beautiful high
The perfect recipe
Baby, you and me
The secret’s been found
Let’s pour one right now
I’m talkin’ ’bout Codigo
I take it with me everywhere I go
Best tequila, baby, don’t you know
A little sip and you’re ready to roll
They make it down in Mexico
A little state called Jalisco
Where the beautiful agaves grow
I’m talkin’ ’bout Codigo
Any way you like it
Any way you wanna try it
I’ll try it too
I don’t care if it’s a habit
As long as you have it
And I have it with you
Hasta la Cruz
I’ll be singing in to you
All the way home
We’ll make this our song
I’m talkin’ ’bout Codigo
I take it with me everywhere I go
Best tequila, baby, don’t you know
A little sip and you’re ready to roll
They make it down in Mexico
A little state called Jalisco
Where the beautiful agaves grow
I’m talkin’ ’bout Codigo
Go on boy
Straight up or on the rocks
Dressed up or not
Make it a surprise
Throw it back and close your eyes
I’m talkin’ ’bout Codigo
I take it with me everywhere I go
Best tequila, baby, don’t you know
A little sip and you’re ready to roll
They make it down in Mexico
A little state called Jalisco
Where the beautiful agaves grow
I’m talkin’ ’bout Codigo
I’m talkin’ ’bout Codigo
I take it with me everywhere I go
Best tequila, baby, don’t you know
A little rip and you’re ready to roll
They make ’em down in Mexico
A little state called Jalisco
Where the beautiful agaves grow
I’m talkin’ ’bout Codigo
Where the beautiful agaves grow
I’m talkin’ ’bout Codigo
