Country Songs That Hit Home

[MJAlltheWay24]

Since there are plenty of song threads going on right now, I thought I would add another. What's a country song that when you hear...it really hits home?

Not a huge fan of country; and maybe this is more Bluegrass than country, but...

 

"When You Say Nothing at All", Allison Krauss

[ScarHeel]

Dierks Bentley - Free And Easy

 

Montgomery Gentry - My Town

 

Miranda Lambert - Famous In A Small Town

 

Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying

 

Alan Jackson - Where I Come From

 

Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss - Whiskey Lullaby

[20/20Hindsight]

I decided long ago that I want to dance to Keeper of the Stars by Tracy Byrd at my wedding, so that song has special significance for me. Picking the song was easy. Now I just gotta find the guy that I will be dancing with. That task is proving to be much more difficult.

Maybe I like country better than I thought. I like Miranda Lambert pretty well, and the last song on your list is great.

Now that I have kids of my own, there is a song from the early 80's (I think) that means a lot to me. It is Ricky Skaggs' Thanks Again.

 

After that, Red Dirt Road by Brooks and Dunn is pretty awesome. Talks about growing up in a small town and all the lessons learned from it.

How can I forget 'That's My Job' by Conway Twitty! My father passed away when I was a senior in High School and shorty after that I heard this song and I can just connect them together, I dunno. Anyhoo, if you d/l music, d/l it & if you don't go to Youtube and they should have it. :thumb:

I did, and fixed it.

 

Seriously though, when I saw the thread title, that was the first song that came to mind.

Only country music I listen to is Johnny Cash and a little Hank Williams (I, II or III). I hate pop country (most country music these days to me is pop country).

Austin-Blake Shelton-I live this song every single day except for the ending

What's she doing now-Garth Brooks

[Beechwoodfan]

When my daughter was an infant, my husband sang along with Ronnie Milsap (a taped version of) "I'll Take Care of You". He was rocking her to sleep on the porch with a beautiful view of the Gatlinburg Mountains. It was a great moment that I will remember forever.

 

Now that she is 17, he had no idea how expensive that promise would be!

 

That song still brings tears to my eyes!
