Directed by: Unknown
George Strait’s “The Fireman” is a playful Western swing track that showcases his signature blend of traditional country charm and wit. Released on May 6, 1985, as the third and final single from his album “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind,” the song reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Written by Mack Vickery and Wayne Kemp, the lyrics use clever double entendres to portray a man who “puts out old flames,” with the metaphor extending to romantic escapades. The song’s upbeat tempo and catchy melody have made it a fan favorite and a staple in Strait’s live performances.
