You cannot think of ’80s Country and not think of George Strait. With a career of over 60 No. 1’s, the King of Country Music is a classic in every decade from his first hit in 1982 to his most recent hit in 2019. Arguably, none of his songs are greater than his second single from his 1987 Ocean Front Property album, “All My Ex’s Live In Texas.” Who Wrote ‘All My Ex’s Live in Texas’? “All My Ex’s Live In Texas” was written by Sanger D. Shafer (aka Whitey) and, his wife at the time, Lyndia Shafer. The song was Strait’s 11th No. 1 single and was nominated for Best Male Country Vocal Performace at the 1988 Grammys
