Strait likes "The Little Things"
Written by Strait along with Monty Criswell and Bubba Strait, and produced by Strait with Chuck Ainlay and Tony Brown, "The Little Things" finds the Texas native reflecting on the often overlooked moments in a busy, hectic life and finding happiness in the little things whether it is a kiss on the dance floor, homemade ice cream, a phone call with mom or a baby that needs to be rocked to sleep.
Lyrics include:
The secret to life, hey we all wanna find it
But the more I look, the more that I'm reminded
What we want is always right there hiding
In all the little things

Strait's friendship and collaborative relationship with Chris Stapleton continues here, with Stapleton guesting ...
At this stage of his nearly four-decades-long career, George Strait sure knows his sweet spot. Take a look at the cover of his 30th studio album, and it's understood that it's the honky tonks that are part and parcel of the tall Texan. Not to mention the title.
