Overnight Male?

My integrity was taken into question on Friday night (and "shadiness" thrust upon me)when I said George Strait's song was Overnight Male and not Overnight Mail. They thought I was being dirty and taking a perfectly acceptable song to a level for which it was not intended. Just in case anyone else is confused, I'm posting the lyrics. I'm not the one making the song about a one-night stand...the songwriter did that. (I like the song...just in case anyone was wondering!)


Overnight Male

Let me be your male-man
And I'll always come though
There's no denying'
Come rain or shine
I'll deliver my love to you
I do things by the letter
You can put your stamp on me
Cause there ain't nobody better
For a special delivery

Chorus:
Like the pony express
And the wild wild west
I'll ride hard all night long
And I can saddle up fast
Get ya there first class
Long before the dawn
You know your male's gonna get to you
Come snow, rain, sleet, or hail
Cause I'm a top flight, hold ya tight, get ya there by daylight
Do you right overnight male

I know your heart is fragile
So I'll handle it with care
There ain't no doubt
I know love's route
So baby let me take you there
I'll bring you cards and flowers
But I know just what you need
Just give me 24 hours
Satisfaction guaranteed

Chorus

You know your male's gonna get to you
Come snow, rain, sleet, or hail
Cause I'm a top flight, hold ya tight, get ya there by daylight
Do ya right overnight male
Yeah I'm a top flight, hold ya tight, get ya there by daylight
Do ya right overnight male

  1. What's more shocking is that George (yes, we're on a first name basis) actually wrote the song.

    You're not shady, Alyssa...don't believe them.

  2. Well if we want to get technical about it, George didn't actually write the song. A songwriter by the name of Kim Williams wrote it and George Strait recorded it and made it a hit. George writes very little of the music he performs. And wow, that one is pretty shady.

  3. so evidently the website I looked at was wrong...I did know that George wrote very little of his music...I stand corrected

  4. I tried to post yesterday, but I just wanted to tell you that I would have known you weren't shady Alyssa! I knew those were the lyrics too. And George is apparently just not as innocent as people think he is. After all, he sings "The Fireman" too!

  5. He didn't sing this song last night at the rodeo, but he did sing "The Fireman" ;).
