Actually, George has been credited as a writer. He and Bubba Strait were both listed as writers on "Living For The Night" WITH Dean Dillon. I think Bubba is George's son. I have a hard time believing Dean needed a lot of help to write the song but knowing his connection with George, he may have given them credit for just providing a title. I ain't saying that's what happened but I see nothing wrong with it. The problem I have is when the writer is EXPECTED to write with the artist and the artist winds up not contributing much.

I think George wrote a few other songs over the years but I think "Living For The Night" was the only single he received credit on.

After I wrote the above, I checked BMI and George has 11 songs under his name. Bubba is George Jr. and he has nine songs. All of Bubba's songs were written with his dad and most were written with Dillon.
