Country Music

[Thy Geekdom Come]

Okay, so I never used to like country music much (a little bit, but not much). I started appreciating it when I was in Lincoln (because everyone in Omaha listens to oldies, but everyone in Lincoln listens to country). Since I've been with my fiancee, I've listened almost exclusively to country music.

Anyone have any favorite country songs or artists?

Me and God
by Josh Turner and Ralph Stanley

"There ain't nothing that can't be done
By me and God
Ain't nobody come in between me and God
One day we'll live together
Where the angels trod
Me and God

Early in the morning talking it over
Me and God
Late at night talking it over
Me and God
You could say where like two peas in a pod
Me and God

He's my Father
He's my friend
The beginning
And the end
He rules the world
With a staff and rod
We're a team
Me and God

I am weak and he is strong
Me and God
He forgives me when I'm wrong
Me and God
He's the one I lean on
When life gets hard
Me and God

He's my Father
He's my friend
The beginning
And the end
He rules the world
With a staff and rod
We're a team
Me and God

He rules the world
With a staff and rod
We're a team
Me and God

We're a team
Me and God"

Cash, Merle, and Willie.

yay for country music! I'm a fan....I especially love some of the older country music stars...Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash

[jmjtina]

Josh Turner is great!!!!!! I absolutely think his music is awesome!

He took country music by storm!!!!! Brad Paisley, check him out. He wrote "She's Everything" and is super duper popular at weddings down yonder. :

hahaha, if it's God's Will, whoever I end up marrying will probably end up listening to a bit of country music as well. (and P5C, phatmass, and the Apologist, of course)

Tell Jennie "Howdy"!!!!

I like Carrie Underwood's Song...

Jesus Take the Wheel


She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It would been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way to fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

Oh, Jesus take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, oh

"Would You Go With Me"

Would you go with me if we rolled down streets of fire
Would you hold on to me tighter as the summer sun got higher
If we roll from town to town and never shut it down

Would you go with me if we were lost in fields of clover
Would we walk even closer until the trip was over
And would it be okay if I didn't know the way

If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Let me know if you're really a dream
I love you so, so would you go with me

[Instrumental]

Would you go with me if we rode the clouds together
Could you not look down forever
If you were lighter than a feather
Oh, and if I set you free, would you go with me

If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Help me tie up the ends of a dream
I gotta know, would you go with me
I love you so, so would you go with me

"Way Down South"

I grew up workin' on a farm, way down South
I went to school against my will, way down South
I kissed girls and I shot squirrels out behind my house
I learned a lot about this world, way down South

I went to church, sang a lot of hymns, way down South
I learned to work on my pickup truck, way down South
I played my guitar under the stars, out behind our house
You will always find my heart, way down South

Clothes on a clothes line, hangin' in the sunshine
A garden growin' in the ground
Country music on the radio, talk about a good ol' sound
People drivin' pass when I'm cuttin' grass
Wavin' at every single one
That's the way it's done when you come from, way down South
Way down South

[Instrumental]

Swimmin' in the creek with all my friends, way down South
Prayin' them days would never end, way down South
Give me a worm and a fishin' pole, I'll pull a fish on out
Those memories will never get old, way down South

Clothes on a clothes line, hangin' in the sunshine
A garden growin' in the ground
Country music on the radio, talk about a good ol' sound
People drivin' pass when I'm cuttin' grass
Wavin' at every single one
That's the way it's done when you come from, way down South
That's the way it's done when you come from, way down South
Way down South, way down South
Mmmmmmm....
Yeah, way on down

Randy Travis... because John Hagee told me to like him, and its either him or the Hagge Family singers on that blasted cruise.

[Phoenix Reborn]

I'm a Country music fan...but I don't have a favorite singer, I usually just listen to it on the radio.

It's Rodney Atkins - "Watching You".

Great song! Here are the lyrics:

Driving through town just my boy and me
With a happy meal in his booster seat
Knowing that he couldn't have the toy
Till his nuggets were gone
Green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my breaks and mumbled under my breath
As fries went a flying and his orange drink covered his lap
Well then my four year old said a four letter word
That started with "s" and I was concerned
So I said son now where did you learn to talk like that

[Chorus one]

He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So I've been watching you

We got back home and I went to the barn
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
Said lord please help me help my stupid self
Then this side of bedtime later that night
Turning on my son's scooby doo nightlight
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
And spoke to god like he was talking to a friend
And I said son where'd you learn to pray like that

[Chorus two]

He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
We like fixing things and holding mama's hand
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So I've been watching you

[Bridge]

With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
Said my little bear is growing up
He said but when I'm big I'll still know what to do

[Chorus three]

Cause I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
Then I'll be as strong as you and superman
We'll be just alike, hey won't we dad
When I can do everything you do
Cause I've been watching you

[Totus Tuus]

I thought I was the only country fan on this website

My favorites in country right now are:

"Me and God"
"Life Ain't Always Beautiful" by Gary Allen
"Stupid Boy" by Keith Urban


Some of my old favorites are

"She's My Kind of Rain" by Tim McGraw
"My Front Porch Looking In" by Lonestar
"What a Beautiful Day" by Chris Cagle
"Three Wooden Crosses" by Randy Travis
"Beer for My Horses" by Toby Keith
"Who Wouldn't Want to be Me" by Keith Urban
And just about everything Rascal Flatts

[Fixxxer]

I like old country. I listen to people like David Allen Coe, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, Hank Williams Jr. and a lot of Hank Williams III. I really dont like any pop country like pat green or rascal flatts, hank iii is underground but is bringing back the old style

I love Josh Turner. His voice is so much deeper than it seems it should be, when you look at him!
I like a variety of country. I never listened to it before I came to school, but my roommate always had it on, and it became the background music of my life. Although, I did love Charley Pride, because my grandpa always listened to him.

[Knight of the Holy Rosary]

I love country music!

George Strait is the best in my humble opinion

[fearundercontrol]

I am starting to like country music. I was actually going to start a thread a while ago (like maybe a month ago) but just never did (obviously). Going by what I've heard on the radio, I like Tim McBride, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Jason Michael Carroll (although I can't listen to his song "Alyssa Lies" because it's just too sad), Martina McBride, and others I don't remember the names of. I also like Ryan Shuppe & the Rubber Band but I never hear them on the radio.
