    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.

    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.

    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.

      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 :)

    On holiday in the 80s from the UK i was driving through southern Texas (great State and people) and the radio had been signal seeking for about an hour (it gets pretty remote in those deserts!),then on the radio comes George Strait out of nowhere.Never heard of him,but the impact was instant and the setting perfect for the song.

    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.

    Privileged to have seen him live at Houston Rodeo a few years ago. What an experience. The Cowboy Rides Away Tour. Incredible interaction with the audience of approximately 80,000. That fiddle playing is superb.PURE COUNTRY. The king of country rules

Life can be so unfair most of the time, but sometimes I wonder why bad things always happen to good people
