Ocean Front Property (song)

"Ocean Front Property" is a song written by Dean Dillon, Hank Cochran and Royce Porter and recorded by American country music artist George Strait.

[1] On the 45 record single, "My Heart Won't Wander Very Far From You" is the B-side.

"Ocean Front Property" is a neotraditional country and honky-tonk song with its musical arrangement compared to the styles of Bob Wills and Lefty Frizzell.

[2][3] Ben Foster of Country Universe gave the song an A grade, saying that it is "subtly clever, yet deceptively simple, with a strong undercurrent of heartache."

He goes on to say that Strait’s vocal interpretation is "just straightforward enough to keep the song’s left-of-center metaphor from coming across as campy, keeping the undertone of sadness fully intact.
