So whats yalls favorite country song?  I have MANY favorites...including Bobby Pinson "Dont ask me how I know"  and Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband "Dream Big"

I like the one where this guy sings about how his wife left him and his dog got run over by a car.

"Letters From Home" by John Michael Montgomery. I'm not big into country but I love that song.

"Corpus Christie Bay"

Robert Earl Keen.

I have a tough time getting through that song without crying like a baby it hits so close.

Mrs Goon usually gets me another beer at that point

Country Boy Can Survive.

"I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye and shoot em' with my ole 45"

Whatever that song was that went:

"...like the button off my shirt, just an everyday distraction...."

HH

Hank Williams Sr. - In the Jailhouse now

Hmmmm...got to be "Backside of thirty" by earl connelly.  This was back when country music was for guys who had real problems.

Quoted: Country Boy Can Survive. "I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dudes eye and shoot em' with my ole 45"

We made a parody of that song for a guy from Hawaii in my unit.

"An Island Boy Can Survive"

I dont' remember much, becasue we were really drunk, but, I remember

"I'd love to spit some poi into that boy's eye"


Damn...I'm STILL laughing about that one.  Glad I'm self entertaining

Randy Travis--Diggin' Up Bones

Not the best song, but my sentimental favorite...it reminds me of car rides with my dad to little league, the lake, etc.

Rock Me by Deborah Allen.

Ops

Johnny Cash, either "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" or "The Long Black Veil."

Mud on the Tires by Brad Paisley for modern country.
Crazy by Patsy Cline for older country.

Most new country is bullshit pop.  I prefer the prior generation.  

probably  jimmie rodgers singin " waiting for a train" and by the way  hank sr. didn't sing " in the jailhouse now".

Seven Spanish Angels - Willie Nelson w/ Ray Charles
Tom Ames Prayer - Robert Earl Keen
The Road Goes On Forever - Robert Earl Keen

Guitars and Cadilacs - Dwight Yoakam
What A Crying Shame - The Mavericks  I have all of their albums, and I enjoy them.
Lipstick Promises - George Ducas A one hit wonder
Gin N' Juice - The Gourds  Snoop Dogg sung to a country/bluegrass beat
Its Too Late - Rodney Carrington
Fred - Rodney Carrington
Dear Penis - Rodney Carrington

if something should happen by darryl worley

"Don't Take the Girl" - I'm not sure off the top of my head who it's by
"Chattahoochee" is another good one, if I even spelled that right.

And of course, anything from fellow San Antonian (or Poteet-an??) George Strait.

My 1st love was a cow named Sue - I screwed her, till my balls turned blue!

Johnny Cash

Copperhead Road  by Steve Earle

You know the sound that an AM
radio makes when you put it under
a florescent light?

Whichever country song playing on
that radio when that happens is my
favorite.

Simple Man by Charlie Daniels.

It is one hell of a song.

I DON'T know but SURE hope someone can help me here (?)


I don't generally listen to country as a rule but, 24 yrs ago when I was at the Armor School at FT Knox there was this song they played at just about every meal in the messhall that I "Think" was by Micky Gilley(?).  It was something to the effect that "...there's only one MonaLisa, one leaning tower of pisa, one Paris and there's only one you....",..Darn thing had a great melody but I can't find it anywhere.

Anybody know what it's called or who the artist was?

Cledus T Judd - My Cellmate Thinks I'm Sexy


Hi ho Silver, AWAY!
After my show, thought I'd have a little fun.
Hopped on a horse: Shorty sure could run.
Well, I got a butt kickin, when the police finally caught me.
("Give me back my horse!!!")
Not a moment too soon, Tim McGraw jumped in.
Did his best Jackie Chan, caught a cop on the chin.
Now I don't understand why they's arrestin' me,

My cellmate thinks I'm sexy, I really turn him on.
He's always staring at me, oh, when the guards are gone.
I'm runnin out of cigarettes; he's askin me to dance.
He says I'm lookin good in these orange pants.
I really wish Tim McGraw was here to protect me.
My cellmate thinks I'm sexy.

I'd give anything to be back on my bus.
I'm hidin' in my bunk, but he's climbin' on up.
Swears all he wants me to do is sing him one of my songs.
Says he's got a dream: I'm afraid of what it is.
You're never gonna see me on a horse after this.
I only get one call. I hope that Faith is home.

My cellmate thinks I'm sexy, he just won't leave me alone.
He's blowin' kisses at me, and I'm a'duckin' em all.
I hate to break it to him, I'm in no mood for romance.
What part of no don't this fool understand?
I'm in big trouble if someone don't come and get me.
My cellmate thinks I'm sexy.

Well one day behind bars is long enough,
'Cos when I drop that show gold, man his eyes light up.

My cellmate thinks I,
My cellmate thinks I'm sexy, I really turn him on.
My name is Kenny Chesney, this ain't where I belong.
Me and Tim's in trouble, buddy, one thing is for sure,.
George Strait's gonna kick us off his George Strait tour.
I'd call Tracy Lawrence but he's in the next cell beside me.
My cellmate thinks I'm sexy.
My cellmate thinks I'm sexy.

I had him from hello...hello...hello.
What's Up!!


Goodbye Squirrel
Me and Harold Muffert were outdoors men
Set in our backwoods ways
Both members of the huntin' club
Both active in the NRA
(National Redneck Association)

We scouted a location where we had no doubt
We'd kill the biggest buck in the world
(About a 34-pointer)
Harold waited in his tree stand
But all he seen was a squirrel

Dang near two weeks since the season started
And neither one of us was amused
(HA HA HA)
We had on real tree camo, high-powered ammo
But no big game to shoot

Then we finally saw a deer as big as a horse
Harold had him in his crosshairs
(Shoot him!)
But that squirrel jumped off of a branch above us
And landed in Harold's hair
(Dang, get it out! Dang!)

Harold fell off the stand, on his head he landed
Like a wimp he laid there cryin
Till I climbed on down,
Picked him up off the ground
And it didn't take us long to decide,
That squirrel had to die

Goodbye squirrel
With black-eyed peas,
You're gonna taste good to me
Squirrel
It's you or me,
Come on out of that tree
Squirrel
Hey guess what,
You've eaten your last nut
Squirrel

Me and Harold went down to the surplus store
Bought a keg of dynamite
Two baseball bats and a case of M-80s
We were in for one heck of a fight
(We'll show you!)

When you're huntin' with dumb and dumber
Something's surely bound to go wrong
(Now be careful)
And when Harold lit that real short fuse
I knew it wouldn't be long

When the dynamite blew,
Harold's foot did too
And fingers began to fly
(Fly)
We were barely alive
When the game warden arrived
And much to our surprise,
That squirrel didn't die
(Gosh!)

Goodbye squirrel
Just one more shot,
You'll be in my crock pot
Squirrel
You'll make a lunch,
You overgrown chipmunk
Squirrel
I'll skin ya hide,
And make a hat when it's dry
Squirrel

(Deadgum Earl, Ronnie Milsap could shoot better than you
Gimme that, I said gimme that gun
Look out!
Look out, duck!
I think I killed somethin')

I like Brad pAisley's music especially his new one "Alcohol".

And anything by Kevin Fowler. He is gonna be big one day. Straight up Texas country the way it should be!

Long Black Train - by Josh Turner  (it's so good, it's uncanny)

"He Stopped Loving Her Today" - George Jones
"Your Cheatin' Heart" - Hank Williams
"Ring of Fire" - Johnny Cash

Can't stand new country.  

Country:

"He stopped loving her today"  Jones What can you say? Maybe the best country song af all time.
"Stand by your Man" Wynette  Ditto
"Rose Colored Glasses" Connely
"Silver Wings" Haggard  Sentimental favorite
"Ring of Fire" Cash  Johnny always had a different sound.  
"Sweet Dreams of you" Patsy Cline  Well, sweet.  

Country pop:
Most of Shania Twin's music  Optimistic and polished with lots of hooks
"Independence Day" Martina McBride ... man that woman can wail!

The Dance
By Garth Brooks
"Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance "

and
Face to Face  by Alabama
"Run your fingers through my hair and softly kiss my lips
hold me close in your embrace and love me face to face

face to face heart to heart body to body
tingling tangle feelings lovers face to face

I'll caress your body and hold you close to me
I'll slide my hands around your waist and love you face to face

face to face heart to heart body to body
lips on lips arm and arm body to body
tingling tangle feelings lovers face to face

Softly say you love me as you make love to me
no one else can take your place we happen face to face "

Tim Mcgraw-Please remember me

kinda country-pop but a great song nonetheless

Quoted: Tim Mcgraw-Please remember me kinda country-pop but a great song nonetheless

At least Countrypop artists don't spend their free time mocking my beliefs and ideals, unlike just plain "Popular" artists in the top 40

I really like Toby Keith's "Who's your daddy?"

Lots of awsome country songs but the one that gets me going especially when Iam pumping iron is achy breaky heart by Billy Ray Cyrus.

whatever one I don't have to listen to.....y'all.

"Cadillac Ranch" by the late Chris Lledoux.

"I hate everything"

"you'll be there"

"arlington"

"Auld Lang Syne" by Randy Travis

"if heaven"

Du Hast by Rammstein.





Wait,.......what country are you talking about again............
I like Johnny Cash, Clint Black, Allen Jackson, guys like that. Can't really pin down a favorite.

anything from Reba!!!

I love most of the songs posted
but, nobody has mentioned

You Never Even Called  Me By My Name

Written By Steve Goodman
As Recorded By David Allan Coe

WELL, IT WAS ALL
THAT I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM CRYING'
SOMETIMES IT SEEMED SO USELESS TO REMAIN
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN', DARLIN'
YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME BY MY NAME

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME WAYLON JENNINGS
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME CHARLIE PRIDE
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME MERLE HAGGARD/ANYMORE
EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE ON MY FIGHTING' SIDE

CHORUS:
AND I'LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME
AND I NEVER MINDED STANDING' IN THE RAIN
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN', DARLIN'
YOU NEVER EVEN CALLED ME BY MY NAME

WELL, I'VE HEARD MY NAME
A FEW TIMES IN YOUR PHONE BOOK (Hello, Hello)
AND I'VE SEEN IT ON SIGNS WHERE I'VE PLAYED
BUT THE ONLY TIME I KNOW
I'LL HEAR "DAVID ALLAN COE"
IS WHEN JESUS HAS HIS FINAL JUDGMENT DAY

REPEAT CHORUS

RECITATION:
WELL, A FRIEND OF MINE NAMED STEVE GOODMAN WROTE THAT SONG
AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG
I WROTE HIM BACK A LETTER AND I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG BECAUSE HE HADN'T SAID ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT MAMA,
OR TRAINS,
OR TRUCKS,
OR PRISON,
OR GETTING' DRUNK
WELL HE SAT DOWN AND WROTE ANOTHER VERSE TO THE SONG
AND HE SENT IT TO ME,
AND AFTER READING IT,
I REALIZED THAT MY FRIEND HAD WRITTEN THE PERFECT
COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG
AND I FELT OBLIGED TO INCLUDE IT ON THIS ALBUM
THE LAST VERSE GOES LIKE THIS HERE:

WELL, I WAS DRUNK THE DAY MY MOM GOT OUT OF PRISON
AND I WENT TO PICK HER UP IN THE RAIN
BUT BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE STATION IN MY PICKUP TRUCK
SHE GOT RUN NED OVER BY A DAMNED OLD TRAIN

CHORUS:
AND I'LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME
AND I NEVER MINDED STANDING' IN THE RAIN
NO, A' YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN', DARLIN'
YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME
WELL I WONDER WHY YOU DON'T CALL ME
WHY DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME BY MY NAME

And don't forget...........

You don't have to call me mister.........mister

I don't have a favorite

Cain't name em all, but my most recent favorite is.......

There wouldn't be no Alamo, no Cowboys in the Super Bowl, no Lonesome Dove , no Yellow Rose, if it wasn't for Texas!

By the Duke of the Frio River.......
The Earl of the Hill Country.........
The Prince of Texas.....................
The King of Country Music....George Strait! 51 #1's!!!

Quoted: Crazy by Patsy Cline for older country. Most new country is bullshit pop.  I prefer the prior generation.

You said it!
I Fall to Pieces is another one she did that I like. Add to that Galveston by Glen Campbell, and Walkin' on the fightin' side of me by Merle Haggard.

A Simple Man by Charlie Daniels


I ain't nothing but a simple man
Call me a redneck, I reckon that I am
But there's things goin' on that make me mad down to the core
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
There's crooked politicians and crime in the street
And I'm madder than hell and I ain't gonna take it no more
We tell our kids to just say no
And then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go
And he slaps him on the wrist and he turns him back out on the town
Well, if I had my way with people sellin' dope
I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
And hang 'em up high and let 'em swing till the sun goes down

Chorus:
Well you know what's wrong with the world today
People done gone and put their Bibles away
There livin' by law of the jungle not the law of the land
Well the good book says it, so I know it's the truth
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You'd better watch where you go
And remember where you've been
That's the way I see it I'm a simple man

Now, I'm the kind of man that wouldn't harm a mouse
But if I catch somebody breakin' in my house
I've got a twelve gauge shotgun waitin' on the other side
So don't go pushin' me against my will
I don't want to have to fight you but I durn sure will
So if you don't want trouble that you'd better just pass me on by
As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse
For the raping and the killing and the child abuse
And I've got a way to put and end to all that mess
You just take those rascals out in the swamp
Put them on their knees and tie 'em to a stump
And let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest

Chorus
