The song is #9 on Billboard, for those not following Solo's play by play analysis.

Review from Taste of CountryBy: Billy Dukes | June 6, 2011 How George Strait continues to play the roll of bad boy at age 59 is anyone’s guess, but he’s done it again on his latest song ‘Here for a Good Time.’ Often as stars age, their street-cred takes a nosedive, but it still feels like Strait could kick about anyone’s butt he wanted to, and have them saying, ‘Thank you … sir.” ‘Here for a Good Time’ isn’t a hell-raiser in the mold of what Montgomery Gentry and now Colt Ford offer fans. Strait is the intimidating cowboy that all the loud-mouths fear and adore. This song’s uptempo shuffle fits right in with what Strait has done musically over the last five years. “I ain’t here for a long time / I’m here for a good time / So bring on the sunshine / To hell with the red wine / Pour me some moonshine,” he sings during the chorus. The first verse is served up hot for the spontaneous amongst us. There’s a little attitude, but not too much to make Strait look silly. “Folks are always dreamin’ bout what they like to do / But I like to do just what like / I take the chance / Dance the dance / It might be wrong / But then again it might be right / There’s no way of knowing / What tomorrow brings / Life’s too short to waste it / I say bring on anything.” ‘Here for a Good Time’ is an easy listen. It’s doubtful the song will be looked back on as one of his all-time greats — there’s never a brilliant moment, just above average consistency — but that’s a pretty crowded list already. Look for the song on a new George Strait album later this year. tasteofcountry.com/george-strait-here-for-a-good-time/
