For as long as I can remember, my dad would always sing this song as “Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to linemen.” I’ve known linemen my whole life and, in many ways, linemen and cowboys are similar. Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys – Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson – This one is very special to me. – “Kaw-Liga just stands there as lonely as can be, and wishes he was still and old pine tree.” Quite possibly the saddest love song ever written.Ģ. Everything about the little town, little house, simple life I grew up with is in these lyrics House That Built Me – Miranda Lambert : This song hits me in my childhood so hard.This is a perfect example of the emotions in a great story coming though Traveling Soldier – Dixie Chicks : Country music has a way of telling the best stories.This is Eric Church doing what he does best. Sinners Like Me – Eric Church : “Mama had a soft spot for hell raising boys” yes- I get that.All across America driving, to my new city and home, I must have heard this song 100 times. Colder Weather – ZBB : I remember this song being the biggest hit the summer I moved to Colorado.He Stopped Loving Her Today – George Jones : Can’t make it through this song with out tears.Could he have been a total romantic softy? Seems like it in this one He had such a unique cadence to his melodies and lyrics. My Favorite Memory – Merle Haggard : I love Merle so much.Mama Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys – Waylon & Willie : I remember my dad coming home on his lunch break every day from work and before he’d go back, he’d pick me and my sister up in his arms and dance with us to this song.All of his songs are so perfectly country, but this one is more timeless to me than all Still Make Cheyenne – George Strait : King George.I’m so glad I realized what I truly wanted and that’s to stay together forever. This song spoke to me so real during that time for me. In every relationship there are times things aren’t going smoothly. Anything Goes – Randy Houser : I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard this The lyrics hit me like a train.They could reach an entire class on great country music by studying these lyrics and how Jamey Johnson cut through all the other noise with his voice In Color – Jamey Johnson : It’s so perfect it hurts.So we present to you, the KYGO staff’s Top 10 favorite country songs of all time in their words and why they love them. It was fun reading all their submissions this morning.
The only rule this time around was they could only pick one song from an artist (so the list couldn’t be all George Strait songs). The KYGO staff was challenged over the weekend to come up with their 10 favorite country songs of all time.
