"Round About Way" is a song written by Steve Dean and Wil Nance, and recorded by the American country music singer George Strait. It was released in January 1998 as the fourth and final single from his CD Carrying Your Love With Me. The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in the USA.
The song's B-side, "She'll Leave You with a Smile", is a different song from the single "She'll Leave You with a Smile", included on Strait's album The Road Less Traveled.
It is an uptempo song, in which the narrator finally admits that he misses his ex-lover.
Larry Flick, of Billboard magazine, reviewed the song favorably, saying that "fiddle and steel guitar dominate this uptempo romp." He goes on to say that Strait's performance is "packed with personality."
"Round About Way" re-entered the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks as an official single at number 45 for the week of January 10, 1998.
