My Top 90 Favorite Country Songs
Have you ever heard a song that you can identify with? Sometimes, songs talk about our lives even though we never met the writers. I hear songs and think about parts of my life. You can call it a journey, if you like. This was by far the hardest thing that I’ve ever done. I was more difficult than passing college, asking a girl out on a date, Coke or Pepsi, or what is my favorite TV show. I messed up every legal pad or had too many songs to make the countdown. You could add every George Strait song and every other artist would be a distant memory. So, here we go! I hope you enjoy and it takes you back to where you were when you first heard these songs. By the way, I hope these songs didn’t cause any hangovers, fights, marriages, divorces, or additions to the family!!!
