All My Ex's Live In Texas - John Dennis Dickey in concert

When I first heard George Strait's classic "All My Ex's Live In Texas" on the radio, I thought it was Roger Miller doing another "King Of The Road"-type recording. This song has stuck with me ever since, and was even featured in the picture "Road House" with Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott, as played on a cafe's jukebox. My attempt at this song was done as a request by the concert host, after I had completed a rendition of "High Noon", with the mandolin player not quite hitting all the right chords, resulting in an unintentional parody of that Dimitri Tiomkin-Ned Washington classic. The audience needed a few laughs, anyway.

Oh John, this song remind me to the time (several years ago) I was line-dancing a lot. A very good happy (and sad, I am divorced too) song.,...... THANK YOU A LOT.

I wish I was there to sing with you....

Thank YOU a lot, Astrid. This song does lend itself to naughty verses, however (which I almost slipped into, if you listen closely...something about one of those featured Ex's losing her "virginity" instead of "sanity"). Pristine John

I know a song by that name, not sure if it's the same one. The one I know is a gospel song that was written by Hank Williams. I have a version on my channel. wd
