Country music has deep roots. It’s down to earth, it’s day-to-day, it enjoys the little things and talks about the pain. There’s nothing like grabbin the hound dog, hoppin in the ‘ol pickup and driving on down to the feed store for some supplies. All the while, the windows are rolled down, arm’s hangin out the window and country music’s on the radio. Something about that rumbling V8 makes the music sound that much better.
That’s the dream, man. Ain’t nothing better. Things like that might have ebbs and flows, man. But it ain’t going nowhere. Country’s in the blood. You can take the cowboy out of the ranch, but you can’t take the ranch out of the cowboy. It seems impossible, since there are so many unforgettable country songs, but I did my best to make a list of what I consider the best country songs of all time. Enjoy! 30.
