"Once you've loved somebody" by the Dixie Chicks means a lot to me because the song is about loving someone so much that you can't even think about loving another even after the relationship is over and not thinking you can anyone on that same level again. I felt that way about someone at that time that the album came out. That whole album "Wide Open Spaces" spoke to me. It was my life at the time

CONSTANT SORROWS
The SOGGY BOTTOM BOYS

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.
(The place where he was born and raised )

For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.

(chorus) He has no friends to help him now

It's fare thee well my old lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.

(chorus) Perhaps he'll die upon this train.

You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave.

(chorus) While he is sleeping in his grave.

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more.
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

(chorus) He'll meet you on God's golden shore.



You can't tell me that george didn't look like he was sangin
that shit

Oh shit!!! Let's not forget


Down To The River To Pray
Alison Krauss
(O Brother, Where Art Thou?)

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O sisters let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sisters let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O brothers let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
Come on brothers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O fathers let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O fathers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O mothers let's go down,
Let's go down, don't you want to go down,
Come on mothers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O sinners let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sinners let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

BAD

I loved that movie and the soundtrack! (O Brother...) Fucking HIlarious film! The Coen Bros are some of my favorites!

COUNTRY MUSIC SUX!!! IMO

I will always love you- whitney houston

it's a country/western as it should be done.

Country music...???

Shania Twain (did I spell that right??)

Man, I feel like a Woman - doesn't mean a thing, good to dance to

HerRoyalBadness said:

shania is wonderful as well...very fun music...:hgih5:


thanks guys...this is fun...

The Dance by Garth Brooks was used in response to the Oklahoma City bombing, the video is incredible.

Blake Shelton has a song called Austin that I love:

She left without leavin' a number
Said she needed to clear her mind
He figured she'd gone back to Austin
'Cause she talked about it all the time
It was almost a year before she called him up
Three rings and an answering machine is what she got

If you're callin' 'bout the car I sold it
If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling
If you've got somethin' to sell, you're wastin' your time,
I'm not buyin'
If it's anybody else, wait for the tone,
You know what to do
And P.S. if this is Austin, I still love you

The telephone fell to the counter
She heard but she couldn't believe
What kind of man would hang on that long
What kind of love that must be
She waited three days, and then she tried again
She didn't know what she'd say,
But she heard three rings and then

If it's Friday night I'm at the ballgame
And first thing Saturday, if it don't rain
I'm headed out to the lake
And I'll be gone, all weekend long
But I'll call you back when I get home
On Sunday afternoon
And P.S. If this is Austin, I still love you

Well, this time she left her number
But not another word
Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evenin'
And this is what he heard

If you're callin' 'bout my heart
It's still yours
I should've listened to it a little more
Then it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where I belong
And by the way, boy, this is no machine you're talkin' to
Can't you tell, this is Austin, and I still love you

I still love you

go shania

damn...another good one...

im havin a blast here

thats how i got hooked in it too...i think they secretly put 'ear crack' through the country music today...



and i looove toby...he is one of my very favs

I´ve always thought Ryan (not Brian) Adams has a country vibe in his music. And he´s pretty good.

Johnny Cash singing Nine Inch Nails "Hurt",
Dixie Chicks, "Beer for my Horses" and the all time classic,
Friends in Low Places.
No other song except "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" makes a bunch of drunken strangers sing together like a family reunion.

FAve Tim song at the moment
Red Rag Top


[Verse 1:]

I was twenty and she was eighteen,
we were just as wild as we were green, in the ways of the world
she picked me up in that red rag top,
we were free of the folks and hiding from the cops,
on a summer night runnin' all the red lights
we parked way out in a clearin'in a grove and the night
was hot as a coal burnin' stove,
we were cookin' the gas we were had to last

In the back of that red rag top
She said please don't stop

[Verse 2:]

Well the very first time her mother met me,
her green eyed girl was a mother to be for 2 weeks
I was out of a job and she was in school,
life was fast and the world was cruel
We were young and wild, we decided not to have a child
So we did what we did and we tried to forget
and we swore up and down there would be no regrets
in the morning light,
but on the way home that night

On the back of that red rag top
She said please don't stop..
lovin' me

[Verse 3:]
We took one more trip around the sun,
It was all make believe in the end,
No I can't say where she is today,
I can't remember who I was, back then
Well you do what you do and you pay for your sins,
and there's no such thing as what might've
been, that's a waste of time; drive you outta your mind
I was stopped at a red light just yesterday beside a young girl
in a cabriolet and her eyes
were green
I was in an old scene

I was back in that red rag top
On the day she stopped
Loving me
I was back in that red rag top
On the day she stopped
Loving me

he also did "sharin the night together" in concert it was awesome!

He had me at Don't take the Girl...::

girl...i LOVE that song...



and DONT TAKE THE GIRL is the sweetest thing ever...wish you lived closer...i went to a tim mcgraw/kenny chesney concert about a year ago...had a blast

Lyrics:

Chrome, She can see herself In the shiny grill and the
Wire wheels of a red Chevelle with four on the floor and the top down
Chrome, zippin' by on an Electra Glide
With dual tail pipes doin' 105 in the broad daylight
On a two-lane headin' outta town

Forget Pink and purple paisleys
little mellow-yellow daisies
Ain't no pot of gold in her rainbow
Her favorite color is ..Chrome

Chrome, get her leg up high
on the bumper of my big black Mack truck
With a smoke stack pointed towards the sky
And mud flaps, you know the kind
Chrome,I said hey little girl you sure look nice
Do you wanna ride, I won't bite, she climbs inside
Says hell no, I want to drive

Forget Pink and purple paisleys
little mellow-yellow daisies
Ain't no pot of gold in her rainbow
Her favorite color is ..Chrome

It's chrome alright Shiny,nice polished
Chrome, Chrome

Forget Pink and purple paisleys
little mellow-yellow daisies
Ain't no pot of gold in her rainbow
Her favorite color is ..Chrome

Her favorite color is...chrome
That girl is all about chrome
She sure loves chrome

or watch the moon lay on the fences like thats where it was hung

my investments are in front of me its not about the land
ill never beat the view
from my front porch lookin in

[chorus]
theres a carrot top who can barely walk
with a sippy cup of milk
a lil blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong cuz she likes to dress herself
and the most beautiful girl
holdin both of them
yea the view i love the most is my front porch lookin in

yea yea

i travel here and everywhere
followin my job
i've seen the paintings from the air
brushed by the hand of God
the mountains and the canyons reach from sea to shining sea
but i cant wait to get back home to the one he made for me

cuz anywhere i'll ever go and everywhere i've been
nothing takes my breath away like my front porch lookin in

[chorus]

i see what beautiful is about
when i'm lookin in
not when i'm lookin out

[chorus]

theres a carrot top that can barely walk
(from my front porch lookin in...)
a lil blue eyed blonde w/ shoes on wrong
the most beautiful girl
(beautiful girl) (from my front porch lookin in...)
holdin both of them
