The Ride

David Allen Coe

Right artist... wrong song.

Can't believe no one has listed this yet (You Never Even Called Me By My Name). And if you're not sure why, just start listening at the 3:10 mark.

"I Walk the Line"- Johnny Cash

"Mommas Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys"- Willie and Waylon

AMARILLO BY MORNING"- King George

"The Dance"- Garth Brooks

I'll give a few female songs

"Jolene"- Dolly Parton

"Fancy"- Reba McEntire

Not a lot of really attention grabbing songs but The Judds have a few good hits.

Honorable Mention: "Believe" by Brooks and Dunn

The capitalized song is my choice for the greatest ever.

 

[vols72]

Cowboy rides away - King George
Good bye time- Conway
Sweet Dreams- Patsy Cline
New way to fly- Garth Brooks
Anything by the Hagg
