Are you from Texas?
Lyle Lovett is from Texas and he will be happy to admit it anytime you ask him. He is a true Texan, a Real Texan if you will who brings intelligence and wit to songwriting. He is also an Aggie of some fame. He was born in Klein, not far from Houston and became good friends with another fellow Aggie and Texan, Robert Earl Keen.
They lived across the street from each other while at Aggieland. In fact, they collaborated on a song while there, The Front Porch Song.
And most of you know Lyle Lovett was once married to actress Julia Roberts. Many have wondered how that ever happened after looking at him and looking at her.
Lyle Lovett has won four or more Grammy awards including the best album for Road to Ensenada. He primarily plays acoustic guitars and he has acted in several movies. He was named the best Country Male Vocalist in 1989.

David, I can answer your question as to how or why Mr. Lovett left julia roberts. It was a matter of him having more class than what she does, which trumps looks most of the time.
Which proves that a Texas boy has the good sense to leave something like her in the pasture of in california, both are full of rattlesnakes.
