Hi MOS44, and Welcome to Chordie!
Man I don't know what to tell you.... to me at least strumming is more a matter of feel and hearing and I don't think I could put into words how to do any particular strum pattern.... could be just a vocabulary thing I suppose. The best thing I could recommend is getting onto Youtube and searching George Strait for a large selection of original film and video covers of his music where you can get some ideas, if not a tutorial or two. George recorded a whole slew of great tunes through his career, and if you have the voice for it, his music is widely recognized and well received everywhere.
Good Luck, Take Care, and once again Welcome to Chordie!

It's a good song Superman.
It's 4/4 count so you're looking for a rhythm that keeps repeating 1&2&3&4 for chord movements.
Try one of two patterns whichever you feel comfortable with.
1 2 3 4
D D U UDU D D U UDU
or
1 2 3 4
D DU D DU D DU D
I hope that helps.
