Strait's success began when his first single "Unwound" was a hit in 1981. During the 1980s, seven of his albums reached #1 on the country charts. In the 2000s, Strait was named Artist of the Decade by the Academy of Country Music, was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and won his first Grammy award for the album Troubadour. Strait was named CMA Entertainer of the Year in 1989, 1990 and 2013, and ACM Entertainer of the Year in 1990 and 2014. He has been nominated for more CMA and ACM awards and has more wins in both categories than any other artist.
By 2009, he broke Conway Twitty's previous record for the most #1 hits on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart when his 44 #1 singles surpassed Twitty's 40. Counting all music charts, Strait has amassed a total of 60 #1 hits, breaking a record also previously set by Twitty, giving him more #1 songs than any other artist in any genre of music.
Strait is also known for his touring career when he designed a 360-degree configuration and introduced festival style tours. For example, the Strait Tours earned $99 million in three years. His concert at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in June 2014 drew 104,793 people, marking a new record for largest indoor concert in North America.
In more than 30 years of recording, all of which have been spent with MCA Records, George Strait has garnered 61 #1 songs on all country charts (including Mediabase 24/7, the former Radio & Records chart, and the now-defunct Gavin Report chart), and has more #1 hits than any other artist in a single genre. His 44 Billboard country #1 hits are a record, four more than Conway Twitty's total that includes several duets with Loretta Lynn. Additionally, Strait is also the first artist in the history of Billboard to have at least one single enter the top 10 of a Billboard chart for 30 consecutive years, starting in 1981 when his debut single "Unwound" peaked at number six on the Hot Country Singles chart. All of his top-10 singles have been on that chart. Strait has sold more than 68 million records in the United States alone, and his certifications from the RIAA include 13 multiplatinum, 33 platinum, and 38 gold albums.

Frosty the Snowman
George Strait Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a corn cop pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made out of snow, but the children know
How he came to life one day
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the snowman knew the snow was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run and have some fun now, before I melt away"
Down to the village with a broom stick in his hand
Runnin' here and there all around the square
Sayin', "Catch me if you can"
He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic car
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler, "Stop"
Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye sayin', "Please don't cry, I'll be back again some day"
The lyrics to George Strait's "Frosty The Snowman" tell the story of a jolly snowman who was brought to life by some kind of magic. The first and second verses describe Frosty's jolly appearance, with a corn cob pipe, button nose, and coal eyes. The second verse also acknowledges that Frosty is a fairy tale, but the children who made him came to believe he had magic within him. This is confirmed when they put an old silk hat on his head, and he begins to dance around.
The third and fourth verses tell of Frosty's adventures with the children in the village. Aware of the hot sun that could melt him, Frosty suggests they run and have fun before it's too late. They play tag and run around the village square, and Frosty even leads them down the streets of the town. However, the inevitable comes, and Frosty must hurry on his way before he melts away. But not before he bids farewell to the children, promising he will return someday.
Overall, the lyrics of "Frosty The Snowman" are whimsical and lighthearted, conveying the innocence and magic of childhood. It's a story of imagination and wonder, reminding us of the joys of playing in the snow and believing in the impossible.

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul.
With a corn cob pipe and a buttoned nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say.
He was made of snow but the children know
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found,
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around.
Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be.
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me.
*************
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's run and have some fun now,
before I melt away."
Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all around the square
Saying, "Catch me if you can."
He led them down the streets of town
right to the traffic car.
And he only paused a moment
when he heard them holler, "Stop."
Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way,
But he waived goodbye, saying,
"Please don't cry, I'll be back again some day.".....

I used to listen to this on tape in my dad's car all the time! Boy does that bring back memories. It was pretty much the only other version of Frosty the Snowman I was familiar with besides Jimmy Durante's from the classic TV special.
