In "You Look So Good in Love", the narrator watches his ex-lover fall for another guy. He realizes just how happy she is and feels sorry for himself that he wasn't the one to make her happy, but part of him realizes it wasn't meant to be.

Even the Rolling Stones are no match for George Strait. At his 2014 the Cowboy Rides Away Tour finale in Arlington, Texas, he broke their record when 104,793 fans crowded into AT&T Stadium.

Although Pure Country wasn't a huge success at the box office, the soundtrack would become Strait's best-selling album with such hits as "Heartland", "I Cross My Heart", and "When Did You Stop Loving Me".

In "All My Ex's Live In Texas", the narrator explains that he had lived most of his life in Texas along the Frio River until a string of failed relationships forced him to flee to Tennessee.

Strait is a cousin of Jeff Bezos, founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of amazon.com, the world's largest online shopping retailer.

According to Strait, there is a distinctly Texas hangover cure: "It's called menudo. It's tripe soup. It's very, very tasty. When I happen to have the occasional hangover, which I try not to do, if I can get some menudo, that's what I get."

On June 1, 2013, Strait appeared in the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas, before 70,000 fans in the last concert of the first half of his two-year farewell tour. Governor Rick Perry, who was in attendance with First Lady Anita Thigpen Perry, announced that henceforth, May 18, Strait's birthday, would be "George Strait Day" in Texas.

"My most favorite song that I've ever recorded, and it was big in the dancehalls," George has often said in concert. "People always requested this. It's called "Amarillo by Morning", and I love singing it."

Despite being the King of Country, Strait isn't a member of the Opry. He reportedly turned down an invitation, possibly because of the number of required appearances each year.
