Happy Birthday to the King of Country! George Strait, who turns 58 today (May 18), boasts more No.1 singles than any other artist in history. So in honor of his birthday -- and an illustrious career spanning almost 30 years -- The Boot is counting down our picks for his top ten chart-topping hits.10. 'Check Yes or No'
Weaving a tale of two lovestruck school-age children who fall in love and marry years later, this classic hit inspired fans of all ages to write simple love notes with one important question: "Do you love me?" followed by the directive to "Check yes or no."
9. 'You Look So Good in Love'
This song, fittingly the first release for which George did a video, laments a former flame whose beauty he truly sees for the first time when she's in the arms of someone else. A lyric filled with regret, with lines like "You look so good in love, I wish you still wanted me," made fans everywhere empathize with the budding young star.
8. 'I Just Want to Dance With You'
This classic, written by songwriting legends Roger Cook and John Prine, tells the story of a man who insists his only intention is to "twirl you all around the floor" and "hold you in my arms once more." The tune became the inspiration for country line-dances all across America.
7. 'Carrying Your Love With Me'
Traveling on foot across the eastern part of the United States, George sings of a love who waits at home while he treks down the highway, toting all his possessions in one small bag. Going from West Virginia to Tennessee, George sings that he is "movin' with the good Lord's speed, carrying your love with me," until he gets back to the woman of his dreams.
6. 'Write This Down'
A last-ditch attempt to rescue the relationship when she already has "one foot out the door," George keeps it simple as he reminds her of his feelings. Imploring her to "write this down" as a reminder to herself, he dictates the letter with lines like "tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go," in hopes she will reconsider.
5. 'I Cross My Heart'
Undoubtedly a staple at weddings all across America when the song was released, the tune also became the soundtrack to the movie, 'Pure Country,' which marked George's acting debut. Lyrics like "You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete" and "in all the world, you'll never find a love as true as mine" might have been sappy, but they also made this one of his most-beloved classics.
4. 'Ocean Front Property'
Penned by the legendary Hank Cochran, along with Dean Dillon and Royce Porter, the song is a tongue-in-cheek way to convince the women he loves that he'll be fine without her. Saying "Girl, your memory won't ever haunt me, 'cause I don't love you, and now if you'll buy that," he goes on to promise "ocean front property" in the land-locked state of Arizona, where the sea is allegedly visible from his front porch.
3. 'Blue Clear Sky'
Written by three of Nashville's most lauded tunesmiths -- Bob DiPiero, Mark D. Sanders and the late John Jarrard -- this song was inspired by the hit movie 'Forrest Gump.' When Forrest charmingly twisted the words to a classic saying, describing a love that fell "out of the blue clear sky," inspiration struck and the song was born. Questioned by George as to whether the song should say "clear blue" instead, he ultimately trusted the songwriters judgment, and earned a four-week No.1 hit in the process.
2. 'All My Ex's Live in Texas'
Pining for four former flames (including one named 'Dimples') living in various cities throughout the Lone Star state, George sang this all the way to No.1 in 1987, right after his chart-topping hit about ocean front property in Arizona. After leaving all his exes wondering of his whereabouts after breaking their hearts -- it's rumored he's passed away -- George reveals he's "alive and well in Tennessee."
1. 'I Saw God Today'
The highest chart debut of his long career, the song garnered George several awards and accolades, including a CMA Award and a Grammy nod. Telling the beautiful story of a man who says "I've been to church, I've read the book" but doesn't see evidence of God until his baby girl is born, he finally realizes that "His fingerprints are everywhere, I just slowed down to stop and stare, opened my eyes and man I swear, I saw God today."
