      2007 I was heading out to California starting in upstate NY, then to Chicago then to Ca. I swung south to make sure I could hit Amarillo just because of this song. If I recall correctly, I had to turn around cause I drove right through it. Just one light I seem to recall.

I'm not good about classifying it. But George Strait is apparently credited with a different type of country music that used a lot of background musical instruments. I like that and his singing voice.

    My father will have left this world seven years this summer. He was always somewhat emotionally distant, undoubtedly due to his time in Vietnam. He had always loved rodeos, cattle roping, and country music. I was born a bit later than planned, in Amarillo. I don't remember much about my earliest years on this Earth, but I do remember this song, the first song I knew how to sing, and the first song I shared with my father. "I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate, and I hope that judge ain't blind" is a line I ascribe to my father entering the last frontier, and it will live with me forever.

    First heard this song while in Amarillo assisting the Marine Corps Reserve Center in 84-85. One of the local tv stations played this at the start of their broadcast day. Had a Marine named Cates from Amarillo and his dad owned a bar. On my way to Quantico to become a Warrant Officer, I tried to find his dad’s place and let him know I just left him in Saudi before the Gulf War started and he’s doing good.

    George Strait has been a constant in my life since I was born. My parents listened to him and passed on that love to me. He would fill the house as my mom cleaned and cooked on the weekends. My dad would have him playing over that little radio in the shop as he was working on whatever hunk-of-junk he'd brought home that week. My wife and I danced to him at our wedding and my son loves to sing at the top of his lungs on the way to school. Thank you George for always being there, through good times and bad, first loves and heartbreaks, moments of joy and times of pain. I can always count on George Strait to have a song to fit the mood and help carry us through.

      When I lived in Houston, I was driving to work early one spring morning...windows rolled down and this song was playing on the radio
      and I was stuck in traffic on a country road..as I looked out my drivers side window I saw this HUGE
      JACKRABBIT just sitting on the side of the road...looked like he was listening to the song. And I totally forgot about the traffic. Everytime I hear that song I remember my drive to work that day and the incredible sight of that creature I had never seen b4.

    I first saw George Strait in 1976 , I was living in Austin Texas and had never heard of him, I was listening to the radio and the Disc Jockey , kept talking about this guy from San Marcos that was a cowboy and a wonderful singer , I think we saw him at The Broken Spoke but he was wonderful, the real deal, Austin in the 1970s and 1980s had some great country and blues music around town, Alvin Crow , Doug Sahm , The Vaughn Brothers, Lou Ann Barton, and the list goes on, but George Strait took off when Amarillo By Morning came out, that was over 40 years ago and he is still great

    This is a childhood song. I went to The rio frio and it’s nostalgia remembering hearing this from tubers playing it on speakers. It just made vibes great. If you haven’t heard this song, you either need to hear it and be happy, or hear it and not like it. The latter option means you’re not from Texas.

    George Strait is literally the best of all time. If I had to choose one artist to listen to, he'd definitely be it. I LOVE country, I cried when I got to see him in concert :)
