The Steal of the Night Songtext
von George Strait

The band had just started when they walked in the door
He sat her at a table and strolled out on the floor
He grabbed the first sweet thang that gave him the eye
And left the door open for the steal of the night

Three dances later, she was still in her chair
He was still on the dance floor like he didn′t care
So I eased on over, there was no ring in sight
And I found myself facin' the steal of the night

She was the steal of the night
Oh yeah, she was the steal of the night
Her long hair flowin′ and her jeans so tight
I held her close and it felt so right

She was the steal of the night
Oh yeah, she was the steal of the night
He left her lonely and the pickin's were right
She was the steal of the night


We danced every slow one the band could play
Was it ever this easy for ole Jesse James?
Had the gold in my hands and the banker was blind
Just inches away from the steal of the night

When the band stopped playin', we walked to the car
As I closed the door, he ran out of the bar
Saw him shaking his fist under the parkin′ lot light
As I strolled away with the steal of the night

She was the steal of the night
Oh yeah, she was the steal of the night
Her long hair flowin′ and her jeans so tight
I held her close and it felt so right

She was the steal of the night
Oh yeah, she was the steal of the night
He left her lonely and the pickin's were right
She was the steal of the night

She was the steal of the night
Oh yeah, she was the steal of the night
Her long hair flowin′ and her jeans so tight
I held her close and it felt so right
