I can't listen to this without crying. I lost my husband to cancer nearly 7 years ago. We were married for 38 years and loved one another so deeply that it nearly killed me after he was gone. I had always hoped and beleived that we'd last until our 90s and would dance on our 60th wedding anniversary to this song. But it wasn't meant to be. I love him with all my heart and always will. I'll never find another love as true as ours.
BEAUTIFUL, How lucky you were to find your soul mate among the billions on people on this planet. My wife and I have been married 55 years, and I know it's close for one of us, I can't even imagine this scenario, but I can almost feel it every day.
I remember driving my dads truck after he passed and he had this in his cassette player (this was in 2009.....he had a 91 Ford F-150 Lariat, in IMMACULATE condition). I remember turning the truck on, and this song starting, and I just sat there crying. Every time I hear this song, it makes me tear up. I remember going to rodeos with my dad when I was 5-6.....he rode the bulls and I rode calves....my sister did barrel racing......Oh what I would give to have it to do all over again.
That’s a really great memory friend cherish it and I jus lost my dad and I see and hear all those reminders and I too wish I cld do it all again. Be well bud 😊
George Straight, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, Randy Travis... The last generation of traditional country singers is aging and some of them are starting to leave us far too soon.

Mr. George Strait, such a classy gentleman & great singer, I will still listen to his music 🎶 until i die. I can feel every song he sings. His voice is golden. Bless your heart, your health, your family. Love you lots 💗💓💛💖💕❤💗
Would you say George is ahead of Marty, George, Johnny, Waylon, Willie, Merle and Buck. I respect George, but in 50 years people will still be talking about those guys.
@@eshawnlane2183 Keep drinking your Koolaid. To be among the best, you had to be a songwriter as well, which is why Marty, Johnny and Hank, Sr. are on the Mount Rushmore of country music. The fourth best could be any number of people, but those three are way ahead of George Strait in terms of their influence on country music. Sorry, but George Strait never wrote a song, which he does regret.
"I ain't got a dime but what I got is mine, I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free..." Favorite line in all of country. The older and wiser I get, the more it means.
absolutely love the fact that he and most country singers sound exactly in live concerts as the recordings. They don't need any special effects. They may extend the song or something but their voices are incredible. That violinist is also spectacular.
Funny, I like that they can sing their hearts out and sing differently than their albums. I've listened to a lot of George Jones and the man has never sang the same song twice. Tremendous musicianship.
Or reinvented it! Listen to the original version by Terry Stafford and you'll see how George made this song his own...and a fan favorite! That violin, electric guitar, and banjo make this song sweetly hum...and of course George's beautiful country voice.
@williampaz2092 , I don't know who could feel my buddies shoe's ! I met George Strait just a few years after the passing of Jennifer Lyn Strait , His preious daughter ; Killed in a automobile accident . Let's all give to the Jennifer Strait Foundation ! It's for Kid's
I know this song is about rodeo, but as a retired OTR truck driver this song takes me back to those long days spent driving from one city to another, including Amarillo. The line "I aint got a dime, but what I got is mine. I aint rich but lord I'm free" fits how I felt. George is a country music legend, and deserves to go down in country music history as one of the greats like Hank Williams Jr and Sr.
I’m Mexican born, raised in the US but to be exact Texas half my life and Mexico half my life but gadamit I feel Texas in my heart love my state and our people George strait even makes you shed a tear with this anthem a lot of us Mexicans love country music and respect it 🇲🇽🇺🇸
I'm 32 and never had the opportunity to see him. I'd probably shed some tears if I got to hear the crowd when this starts playing. I get the chills. I need to see him. It's on my bucket list.

I'm not an American, but I wish I was. The older generation of American Country music is my favourite.

George's "SIGNATURE SONG" and this is the BEST version I have ever heard of it! No wonder the crowd loved it so much. I grew up on 50's and 60's rock and roll but I keep coming back to listen to this beloved song that even George loves, too.
I was driving in Texas many years ago and it was about 5 AM and I song came on the radio just as I was approaching Amarillo. Gave me goosebumps. What a great song.
I don't know about George being king. Whenever I hear King George, I always think of George Jones. Don't get me wrong George Strait is great, but George Jones will ALWAYS be #1 in my musical repitore!!
@@ellet4103 thanks for being a great fans of my father I would like to introduce you to my father but firstly know more about you if you don't mind ???
George is so perfect, his guitar, his hat, his long sleeve shirts and his voice, be still my heart, and that fiddle player, big ups! I wanted to see him this weekend, but my Dr. said no, so I have to watch on You Tube.
Your doctor's only job is to keep you alive and tell you to do whatever he things will foster that. It's YOUR job to live. Being alive but not living....not my thing but you do you. RUclips is a decent fill-in I suppose.
The guy that originally wrote a recorded this song is from Amarillo Texas. He graduated from the same high school I did and is buried here in Amarillo. His name is Terry Stafford. He was a friend of my friends brother. George just made it even more popular and took it to the top of the charts years after it was a rock song.
I got my degree in audio engineering in 1975. I've done a lot of live recording over the years, but this one's a beautiful. Just excellent sound quality!
What makes George the greatest is that he's the most pure. He doesn't need a big expensive show, just put him in front of a microphone with the spotlight on and that's all he needs because he's that great of a singer.
The cream of the crop doesn't need gimmicks to draw an audience. Some people (like George Straight) are simply a gift to us all, filled with pure, natural talent. How lucky we are that he is a part of our generation.
Greatest country song ever. My dad was a truck driver and got to ride with him to Amarillo when I was 8. First tape was “Ocean Front Property”. I used to put tape on and act like I was George singing with my brother and sister sitting around the bed. Unbelievable talent.
i live in boston........found this song two years ago....after Ken Burns.....i listen to it almost every saturday night. i pray for everybody in Texas during this cold nightmare

I remember this concert. I was in the crowd with my momma and daddy. Was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. George is the epitome of troubadour.
@@tomleach8227 Happy Birthday! 🎉 Wishing you a day filled with love, joy, and the music that makes your heart happy. Cheers to another year of wonderful memories! 🎶🎂
This is such a beautiful song. This is part of George Strsit. His voice makes the song what it is. The lyrics and music are fantadtic. This is the why he is called the King of Country Music
Terry Stafford's words and George Straight's delivery perfectly convey the pain, loss, and futility of the cowboy chasing his dream. By the time that fiddle comes in at the end, if your eyes aren't welling up, you weren't paying attention.
And Terry Stafford did the song originally in 1973. Also wrote it. Strait did it in 1982 , and that is the one everybody seems to remember. Strait did good on it , but Stafford was the creator. He had a big hit in 60's with "Suspicion", which Elivis covered also. .
Tim you are a wonderful person and I think you are a great singer , I love country music . A fan from the UK ,,God bless keep this beautiful music going .
I remember so well when Adam Lambert, on "american idol" could just not find a country song to sing. Not his thing you know, what a clown to not realize there are tons of songs like this from the country anthology, he could have "found it in himself" to sing.
I think this song gives us all hope that this kind of technology can be used for good. We have a man in our congregation that has ALS and we are praying that we can record his voice so that we can hear his prayers long after he is gone from us. Remember: what that devil uses for evil, God will use for good. I love this - God bless you Randy Travis!
Like a fine wine , his voice gets better with time , and a great man, father and American . Met him years ago at a truck stop in Texas . Super nice guy . Hasn't let the fame go to his head . Thanks for your gift
@@georgestrait3566 if it's really you , been a fan for years , and unless you start spitting on veterans and burning our flag . Nothing going to change that

I have had three marriages, first gave me two kids and we lost their mother and I raised them by myself. Then I met a lady and fell for her. Turned out to be hell on earth but I made it 26 years before walking away and giving her the ranch and taking only my truck, dog, and saddle. After a bad spell in East Texas I met a lady from a ranch 60 miles south of Amarillo. We both rodeoed, her as a barrel racer and break away and I roped calf's. Happy now, love each other and spend a lot of time with the horses and some cattle, swapping rodeo stories, horses we've had, people we knew and just enjoying our lives. Oh yeah, it ain't a country western band without a fiddle.
@@georgestrait3566 You are the KING of country. Awesome voice and great songs. Pretty damn good actor too. Will always listen to you music. Touches the soul.
Still listening. Ever notice how golden voices like George Strait the Possum, and so many others you instantly knew when they used to come on the radio? Nowadays most all so called country music stinks. And everyone sounds alike.

Nobody's gonna talk about the fiddle? Geez that fiddle in the beggining got me goosebumps, that's real country music!
Except in country music it's not a violin..it's called a fiddle...just saying
@@LutianMurphy Thanks for the correction, i realized just after i posted and i forgot to edit 😅
AMEN!!!
Like Randy said in Alabama's great song "you gotta have a fiddle in the band"...!!!!!!!
The fiddle player is Gene Elders who has recently passed away. A true master! RIP
Fiddle is great certainly, but all of those musicians are virtuoso.
George Straight, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, Randy Travis... The last generation of traditional country singers is aging and some of them are starting to leave us far too soon.
Nix Garthy from that list because he's a big liberal baby wannabe...
Add Clint Black to that list please
And John Denver
Glen Campbell
Statler brothers, Waylon Jennings, Bj Thomas, John Conlee, Mel Tillis, and the list of the old greats go on and on.

Check out Andrew Bird.
Same here. And this is the first time I hear this beautiful song. I m not even American!!! Amazing what music does to people
Same here!
Fiddle is pulling at my heart strings and is goosebumps made from heaven.
Saw him Vegas, no glam, flashing lights, walked out Hat,White Dress Shirt...played gave a house he paid to be built for a disabled veteran and was humble, pure and honest the whole time.
saw him 2 weeks ago in northern NJ. he did the same with the vet - gave him a key to a house. amazing concert.
@@michelleventresca7926saw him last week at Kyle field. Crowd roared after each song he played. It was electric.
Now that is the stuff heroes are made of... giving to those in need 🇺🇲
I just read that through the Military Warriors Support Foundation, George has given more than 100 homes, mortgage free.
That fiddle player is one of the very best!
I wish I knew his name
The name of that "fiddle player" is Gene Elders, and he's been with George Strait's "Ace in the Hole Band" since 1985. Trained in classical music, Gene's discipline in playing violin is obvious and he has such a casual manner of delivery. That wailing final solo very nearly steals the show :)
@@trueblue2k2 Yes it does!
@@trueblue2k2 I meant no disrespect when I said " fiddle player". In central Texas we call a violin a fiddle.
To think this song was not even a number one is stunning!
I think Amarillo by morning is one of the best songs by George Strait.
It's actually a Chris LeDoux song
wrong. it's the best song ever by anyone.
Actually the song was written and first sung by Terry Stafford.
@@thomaszajicek5366 He covered it, but it was written by Terry Stafford.
I agree! Great entertainers are called to their trade and must have songs that appeal to his/her fans.
I ain't rich but Lord I'm Free. What a line! What a Song!
Tom Salva - this song was written by Terry Stafford who had a hit named Suspicion in the 60’s when I was in grade school.
I ain't got a dime but what I got is mine
I ain't rich but Lord I'm free
Very few people know how true that statement is !

@@joeiiiful How true
This man will go down in history as the greatest and most respected country singer to ever take the stage.
he amplifies the mistreatment of animals
George never had a slipknot placed on his balls
that was patsy cline

More than Willie Nelson?
If that violin solo didn't melt your soul you might not have one.
Its called a fiddle bud

George's "SIGNATURE SONG" and this is the BEST version I have ever heard of it! No wonder the crowd loved it so much. I grew up on 50's and 60's rock and roll but I keep coming back to listen to this beloved song that even George loves, too.
I agree. I play this specific video because of how this version sounds.
@@brianbaker5687 Right on, Brian!
Its true
@@brianbaker5687 George Strait and Alabama the two best live sounds you'll hear

I was driving in Texas many years ago and it was about 5 AM and I song came on the radio just as I was approaching Amarillo. Gave me goosebumps. What a great song.
This voice, THIS VOICE! One in a million. My favorite song, ever. Texas loves you George ❤️
Hello. Are you, by any chance, the Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games series?
I agree with you and I am from Canada
Hello how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here
Thanks for been a great fans of my Dad pages.God bless you and your family
South if San Antonio in a little bit town...
Always love hearing King George. This is true country. 2022 still listening
I appreciate your love towards me, hope you won't stop liking my aspirations?
I definitely agree with that
My dad used to listen to him all the time. I always feel like I'm singing with him when I listen to George.
I don't know about George being king. Whenever I hear King George, I always think of George Jones. Don't get me wrong George Strait is great, but George Jones will ALWAYS be #1 in my musical repitore!!
@@ellet4103 thanks for being a great fans of my father
I would like to introduce you to my father but firstly know more about you if you don't mind ???
George is so perfect, his guitar, his hat, his long sleeve shirts and his voice, be still my heart, and that fiddle player, big ups! I wanted to see him this weekend, but my Dr. said no, so I have to watch on You Tube.
😊😊I'm very pleased to know I'm not the only one that loves the song but when last did you play it.
Hi Ellen
If I had the chance to see G.S. no Dr could keep me away.🤷♀️
Your doctor's only job is to keep you alive and tell you to do whatever he things will foster that. It's YOUR job to live. Being alive but not living....not my thing but you do you. RUclips is a decent fill-in I suppose.
Nice song by George... your comment is very interesting to view, i hope you are doing well??
The guy that originally wrote a recorded this song is from Amarillo Texas. He graduated from the same high school I did and is buried here in Amarillo. His name is Terry Stafford. He was a friend of my friends brother. George just made it even more popular and took it to the top of the charts years after it was a rock song.
I got my degree in audio engineering in 1975. I've done a lot of live recording over the years, but this one's a beautiful. Just excellent sound quality!
One violin lesson and I quit !!!
Taught you everything you know, but not everything they know.
What makes George the greatest is that he's the most pure. He doesn't need a big expensive show, just put him in front of a microphone with the spotlight on and that's all he needs because he's that great of a singer.
👊 bump this shit
fuckin' A man couldn't have said it better myself
Have loved George for many years!
what makes him up there with the greatest is that he will tell you that Merle Haggard was the greatest country singer ever.
The cream of the crop doesn't need gimmicks to draw an audience. Some people (like George Straight) are simply a gift to us all, filled with pure, natural talent. How lucky we are that he is a part of our generation.
80's metal head stopping by to say that I've always LOVED this song. Well done, George!!
I love your music George you are great
@@marthabroothaers7063 Um, Thank you, but I'm not George.
He is the King
This is THE song that made me a George Strait fan. And it's still my favorite of his.
I love the sound of the fiddle onstage. Something about the open acoustics makes it beautiful and haunting.
It gave me goosebumps!
@@theeclectic2919 Yes, me, too!
Let's make that a hatrick, does the Same thing to me.
Greatest country song ever. My dad was a truck driver and got to ride with him to Amarillo when I was 8. First tape was “Ocean Front Property”. I used to put tape on and act like I was George singing with my brother and sister sitting around the bed. Unbelievable talent.
This song, as well as many others by George Strait, has gotten me through some tough times. It speaks to my soul in such a beautiful, evocative way.
Don’t forget Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser who wrote it
Thanks for the love and support
How long have you been my fan ?
I'm Brazilian but when I listen to this song I feel like a simple Texan cowboy with a dream of being a rodeo champion
i live in boston........found this song two years ago....after Ken Burns.....i listen to it almost every saturday night. i pray for everybody in Texas during this cold nightmare
I'm from Boston and I moved to Texas in 1978..and lord I'm free...

I Know George Strait You Are My Favorite Singer And Johnny Cash Too And Alan Jackson Too
I remember this concert. I was in the crowd with my momma and daddy. Was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. George is the epitome of troubadour.
Kool 😊
This is, without a doubt, one of the best songs of ALL time, done by the best!
@Marcos Bryant ciao Marcos! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🍀
It's August of 2024 and I still think George is great.
He is great, I served in the Army with him, 25 Infantry Division
Yes sir!!!!
Amen to that!!
He’s the GOAT
Hell yes
I'm thankful I lived in the time of George Strait and real country music.

Yup
How can 1200 people dislike this? George is what country music is all about.
Probably spaced out Democrats.
How can 1200 people dislike this song? Two words: No Class!
They must be ISIS terrorists🤗😤
Some people are dipshits & have no clue what real Awesome American music is,or where it comes from
The best tunes! Mr. George Straight is wonderful!!
One of the greatest country songs of all time.
That fiddle, so soulful, lightly punctuating, never excessive... recording *artists* for sure.
@George Strait🎵 Hi, just returned to see what's doin... 👂
I believe this one of the best sounding live performances!!
This is such a beautiful song. This is part of George Strsit. His voice makes the song what it is. The lyrics and music are fantadtic. This is the why he is called the King of Country Music
Thanks for the love and support
How long have you been my fan ?
@@GeorgeStraitt-cy9zk at least 25 years or konger
Love Amarillo by morning, classic country song. Hats off to the extremely talented "George Strait".
Terry Stafford's words and George Straight's delivery perfectly convey the pain, loss, and futility of the cowboy chasing his dream. By the time that fiddle comes in at the end, if your eyes aren't welling up, you weren't paying attention.
Well said
George como você é lindo, amo ❤suas músicas 🎶, te admiro
Back when country was pure. It meant something more than just a twang in your voice.
Actually one of the best country/cowboy songs ever written
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎✌👍👍👍✌✌🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Yeah this song is excellent. The fiddle makes it.
Kudos to Terry Stafford who wrote this song.
This is why George Strait is THE KING! Pure Country!! I love this live. The only way I can hear country music as it should be😊💖💖💖💖👍👍👍👍👍
And Terry Stafford did the song originally in 1973. Also wrote it. Strait did it in 1982 , and that is the one everybody seems to remember. Strait did good on it , but Stafford
was the creator. He had a big hit in 60's with "Suspicion", which Elivis covered also. .
@@tracykingston9668 Hello 👏 Tracy kingston how are you doing today I hope you are having a great day over there?
This is my favorite song. Totally awesome and when George Strait sings the song it's just goes to the top.
Tim you are a wonderful person and I think you are a great singer , I love country music . A fan from the UK ,,God bless keep this beautiful music going .
If I had to choose ten country songs from over my lifetime this would absolutely be in that top ten ! Beautiful song !
Hope you don't stop liking my aspirations?
I agree! This is the definitive song for a road trip through Texas on a sunny day.
You only have to hear it once to realize this is an absolutely great song, irrespsctive of whic genre of msic you enjoy the most. Great job Mr Strait!
I remember so well when Adam Lambert, on "american idol" could just not find a country song to sing. Not his thing you know, what a clown to not realize there are tons of songs like this from the country anthology, he could have "found it in himself" to sing.
You are so right. I am in 🇬🇧 and discovered this song last night and have now played it about 20 times since!

Hello how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here
Thanks for been a great fans of my Dad pages.God bless you and your family
His voice and that violin PERFECTION
Nobody in the world wears Wranglers like George 💞 and his voice is of angels!🥰
This song tears me up and always gives me chills. One of King George’s best songs.
Can't get enough of this song, love it. Love George Strait.
hello how are you doing, how long have you been a fan of mine?
George Strait has over 50 #1 hits and this isn't one of them, Wow! It was only a top 5 hit!
I think this song gives us all hope that this kind of technology can be used for good. We have a man in our congregation that has ALS and we are praying that we can record his voice so that we can hear his prayers long after he is gone from us. Remember: what that devil uses for evil, God will use for good. I love this - God bless you Randy Travis!
Hi Kathy hope you're okay?
Like a fine wine , his voice gets better with time , and a great man, father and American . Met him years ago at a truck stop in Texas . Super nice guy . Hasn't let the fame go to his head . Thanks for your gift
Thanks, hope you won't stop liking my aspirations?
@@georgestrait3566 if it's really you , been a fan for years , and unless you start spitting on veterans and burning our flag . Nothing going to change that
@@Eddy-ev5tm that's nice, I would love to add you to my fan club if you mind text your cellphone number to my email address i will also give you a video chat due to security reasons for few conversation, georgestrait2348@gmail.com
@@Eddy-ev5tm Hi, I would love to have few conversation with you if you mind
I have had three marriages, first gave me two kids and we lost their mother and I raised them by myself. Then I met a lady and fell for her. Turned out to be hell on earth but I made it 26 years before walking away and giving her the ranch and taking only my truck, dog, and saddle. After a bad spell in East Texas I met a lady from a ranch 60 miles south of Amarillo. We both rodeoed, her as a barrel racer and break away and I roped calf's. Happy now, love each other and spend a lot of time with the horses and some cattle, swapping rodeo stories, horses we've had, people we knew and just enjoying our lives. Oh yeah, it ain't a country western band without a fiddle.
Soo nice history, Amarillo must be beautiful
I came to Country music very late in my life, but George Strait is one reason I'm still enjoying this journey
Love's this song..pure country music.
Anyone else listening 2021
Thank you for liking my aspirations, hope you won't stop?
Every day!!
@@georgestrait3566 You are the KING of country. Awesome voice and great songs. Pretty damn good actor too. Will always listen to you music. Touches the soul.

Still listening. Ever notice how golden voices like George Strait the Possum, and so many others you instantly knew when they used to come on the radio? Nowadays most all so called country music stinks. And everyone sounds alike.
It is songs like this that can make a person appreciate this genre of music. Love it.
Thank you for liking my aspirations
Hope you don’t stop liking my aspirations?
Thanks for been a great fans of my Dad pages.God bless you and your family
Still listening in 2020! Will never be another King George! Ever! He’s still rock in’ those starched wranglers and Stetsons! A man’s man.
what is in that shirt with him.he could not be comfortable
2021
Still listening in 2021, it heals my soul.
One of the greatest country tunes of all time!
Im 42 and was lucky enough to see George a couple times in my teens, legend
Damn, how I love hearing a violin in a country song.
mathew idicula we call it a fiddle in country music
Yeah, but this guy isn't fiddling around.
true
that is why CHARLIE DANIELS is also AWESOME
Same here.
George Strait is one of a kind......I miss his pure country sound.
I'm not a country -western fan , but I love this song
Since he died?
What a true A+ Top of the Line Country Song. His voice, crying of that fiddle. 👍👍
