Recorded on June 7, 2014, at the iconic Cowboys Stadium (now AT&T Stadium) in Arlington, Texas, this live duet is a heartwarming blend of two country legends doing what they do best: pouring their hearts into a song and sharing that with thousands of fans.

What’s special about this performance is not just the song itself—though it’s always been a fan favorite for its catchy, feel-good vibe—but the magic of George and Vince’s chemistry on stage. They share a warmth that feels genuine and effortless, almost like two old friends who know exactly how to play off each other’s energy.

This version of “Love Bug” also brings out a playful side in both artists. You can see it in their smiles, their casual banter, and the way they interact with the crowd. There’s an almost contagious joy that comes across, a reminder of why live performances have such a special place in country music.

George Strait and Vince Gill manage to make the massive stadium feel like an intimate backyard gathering.

Listening to this duet, you can’t help but get swept up in the fun. It’s classic, toe-tapping country at its best, filled with humor and heart. The lyrics of “Love Bug” might be simple, but that’s part of the appeal. It’s a song that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and yet, when two artists of this caliber perform it, it somehow becomes something unforgettable.

Lyrics

Well I was ruling the roost, had all the chicks to myself
And suddenly it happened, that funny little feeling I felt
Well I tried to outrun it, but it finally caught up with me
Tell me how can I run from something that I can’t see?
Oh that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
Nobody’s ever seen it, but it’s got the whole world shook up
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug
It’s a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
Well I always thought that I had me a pretty good style
But I lost that race by a good old country mile
Well I was walking all around with my head held way up high
And it fooled me, hit me, really took me by surprise
Oh that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
Nobody’s ever seen it, but it’s got the whole world shook up
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug
It’s a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
Oh that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
Nobody’s ever seen it, but it’s got the whole world shook up
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug
It’s a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
It’s a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug
