Asleep at the Wheel has in return, been an opening act for Strait in later years.[27]"Amarillo by Morning," which tells the story of a Texas rodeo cowboy, was originally recorded and written by Terry Stafford in 1973. In 1982, Strait recorded the song with a more Western-based instrumentation. The song has become a signature song associated with Strait; it has been referred as one of the greatest country songs of all time.[31][32]Strait performing live at the 1st Mariner Arena, Baltimore, Maryland on April 7, 2008Strait on the Cowboy Rides Away Tour, XL Center, Hartford, Connecticut, February 23, 2013Strait on the Cowboy Rides Away Tour, XL Center, Hartford, Connecticut, February 23, 2013Strait on the Cowboy Rides Away Tour at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, March 1, 2014Strait on the Cowboy Rides Away Tour, XL Center, Hartford, Connecticut, February 23, 2013Strait at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo in 2005Vaqueros del Mar 5, George Strait auctions off his boots for the troops: George Strait (in orange cap), Tom Cusick, David FehertyGeorge Strait Country Music Hall of Fame plaque
