If you grew up in the south or moved here for college you definitely should have heard these songs on the radio, at the bar, or by whoever has the aux. But just in case you haven't, here you go.
1. "Dixieland Delight" - Alabama
Gonna give me a whirl
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Lucky as a seven
Livin' in Heaven
With my dixieland delight"
You will hear this at every frat party you go to, trust me.
2. "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" - David Allan Coe
And I never minded standing' in the rain
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even called me by my name"
3. "Any Man of Mine" - Shania Twain
enough said..
4. "Leave The Pieces" - The Wreckers
Just take your love and hit the road
'Cause nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go"
5. "Already Gone" - Sugarland
But that didn't stop me. the first time he laughed
All my friends tried to warn me the day that we met
'Girl, don't you lose your heart yet'"
6. "Settlin'" - Sugarland
I've had enough so-so for the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high
Just enough ain't enough this time
I ain't settling for anything less than everything, yeah"
7. "Head's Carolina, Tails California" - Jo Dee Messina
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where don't matter long as we're goin'
Somewhere together, I got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California"
8. "Watermelon Crawl" - Tracy Byrd
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl"
9. "Cowboy Take Me Away" - Dixie Chicks
I wanna skip and not fall
I wanna look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall
I wanna be the only one for miles and miles
Except for maybe you and your simple smile"
10. "All My Friends Say" - Luke Bryan
But they say I sure was raising some cane
I was a rock star, party hard
Getting over you, comeback kid
Yeah, I must have did
What all my friends say"
11. "My Town" - Montgomery Gentry
This is where they'll put me in the ground
This is my town"
12. "Dust on the Bottle" - David Lee Murphy
After all these years, there's one thing I've found
Some say good love, well, it's like a fine wine
It keeps getting better as the days go by"
13. "Troubadour" - George Strait
Is that a damn old mirror
Don't really tell the whole truth
It don't show what's deep inside
Or read between the lines
And it's really no reflection of my youth"
14. "Laughed Until We Cried" - Jason Aldean
I found an old yearbook, flipped right to the page of that senior trip
Down there on that Panama strip
We all started yelling when we smelled the beach
Just couldn't wait to try our fake ID's
We only had a few days
And a whole lot of memories to make"
15. "Good Directions" - Billy Currington
There's a little country store with an old Coke sign
You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Then a left will take you to the interstate
But a right will bring you right back here to me"
16. "Mississippi Girl" - Faith Hill
They put my face on the big movie screen
But that don't mean I've forgotten where I came from
That's just me chasing dreams"
17. "Believe" - Brooks & Dunn
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what I can see"
18. "If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie" - Hank Williams Jr.
"If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I'd just as soon stay home"
