Matthew, Mark, Luke, John\u2026 he fired \u2019em off with the confidence of a Sunday preacher who knows the potluck is waiting.

And let\u2019s be honest, somewhere in the back pew, Grandma nearly fell out laughing. The teacher\u2019s face probably went pale for half a second before she cut him off, but come on, how do you top that?<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\"><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering where a four-year-old even learns a George Strait song, you must not have spent much time below the Mason-Dixon line. \u201cAll My Ex\u2019s Live in Texas\u201d is basically required listening in every truck, honky-tonk, and VFW hall with a jukebox. That song came out back in \u201987 and climbed straight to No. 1, turning George Strait from rising ranch kid to the King of Country in one swoop of that Stetson.<\/p>\n<p>Written by the late Whitey Shafer and his wife Lyndia, the tune was a tongue-in-cheek wink at heartbreak, turning a laundry list of old flames into a boot-scootin\u2019 singalong for the ages. It\u2019s part neon-lit jukebox jam, part Texas tourism ad, and it\u2019s impossible not to grin when you hear that first line. It\u2019s funny, too, because Strait himself has never been the ramblin\u2019 heartbreaker the song makes him out to be. The man\u2019s been married to his high school sweetheart, Norma, since the early \u201970s, living proof that sometimes country lyrics are just good stories told by the world\u2019s greatest liar in a cowboy hat.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Four year old recites Bible books and covers George Strait\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VIvupevIc44\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"350\" data-origheight=\"235\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now, there\u2019s something perfect about this little Mississippi boy pairing his gospel knowledge with a nod to King George. Down here, it all goes hand in hand. It\u2019s not weird to teach your kids the books of the Bible and George Strait\u2019s greatest hits in the same breath. Sunday morning hymns and Saturday night dance halls both shape a kid who\u2019ll grow up knowing how to pray for rain and how to slow dance when it comes.<\/p>\n<p>The best part? You just know this kid\u2019s gonna hold that moment forever. Someday he\u2019ll be twenty-one, playing \u201cAll My Ex\u2019s Live in Texas\u201d on the bar jukebox while his buddies howl about the time he stole the show at preschool graduation. He\u2019ll swear he\u2019s still got that church video somewhere on an old phone or tucked in a dusty photo album next to his Bible school certificate.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rodeohouston.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/GeorgeStrait-Media-600-600-p-L-97.jpg\" alt=\"George Strait to Perform at 2019 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo\u2122 -  Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason Strait\u2019s still packing stadiums decades later.
