My family may be Yankee's, but I definitely grew up in the south. I grew up on country music like most wouldn't believe! My Mama always says that the first song I sang along to was "Three Wooden Crosses" by Randy Travis. And literally four of the six preset stations in my car are definitely country. One thing so many people don't realize is that country music is about so much more than drinking, trucks, and your mama. Country music is about love, liberty, and living life to the fullest. Every time I need a pick-me-up, or I need a sing-a-long song, country is always there for me. I've learned a lot about life from this music. Here's my Top Ten country songs that will definitely speak to your soul:
10. Miranda Lambert, "Platinum"
"What doesn't kill you, only makes you blonder."
9. Carolyn Dawn Johnson, "Dress Rehearsal"
"Don't wait for the perfect moment, it'll never come around"

"We'll all stick together... the cowboys and the hippies, the Rebels and the yanks."
7. LeAnn Womack, "I Hope You Dance"
"Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'"
6. Kacey Musgraves, "Biscuits"

4. Martina McBride, "This One's For the Girls"
