Live/Living Songs: All My Ex’s Live in Texas

Tweet

Happy March. We had to wait an extra day for it, so hope it’s worth the wait! We start the new month with a new countdown, looking at songs celebrating “living” (or lived or live). Just to make my country music haters swear this is coming in like a lion, here’s the opening tune. All My Ex’s Live in Texas - George Strait Ooh, that’s one good-lookin’ cowboy!!! Yeah, he can sing, too. One of the true legends of country music from the last 50 years, George Strait is the real deal. He puts that Western swing/traditional country vibe in everything, and he’s been loved for it for going on 45 years now. (Ouch, he can’t be that old [he’ll be 72 in May]!) This is a Whitey Shafer song about a little love arson: he burned all those bridges and the old girlfriends didn’t think much of it, so he’ll just keep his cowboy hat outside of the Lone Star State. I guess I don’t have to say “Linda? NO!” because the cowboy hat should give it away, but if you have an allergy to country music you might need to avoid listening to this one. Even though it’ll give you a chuckle. All My Ex’s Live in Texas Written by Sanger D. Shafer and Lyndia D. Shafer Recorded by George Strait From Ocean Front Property, 1987 Got the law lookin’ for me!
