In a 2009 interview with Cowboys and Indians, Bubba shared how he feels about writing songs with his dad, “It’s awesome! We like all the same stuff, so we seem to agree on music too, for the most part.” He also shared what inspired him to write about Arkansas Dave, he states, “I love stories about outlaws and gunslingers, and I always thought it would be cool to write an outlaw song.”
Bubba is now married to Tamara for nine years. She is a successful realtor who is dedicated to organizations such as the Methodist Hospital’s Children’s Center, Wish For Our Heroes, and David Feherty’s Troops First Foundation.

George Strait’s wife, Norma Strait was a stay at home mom until Bubba started college at Texas A&M University, but after that, she joined George on the road until he retired from touring. “We do almost everything together,” George said.
“It will be 41 years this December. Norma and I are so blessed that we found each other 41 years ago and were able to do all of this together, experience this life together, to support each other through everything, good times and bad. We do almost everything together. She stayed home until Bubba got out of high school and went to college, but since then she’s come on the road with me too. We love each other and we still like each other. A lot!” he added in his 2012 interview with People.
