This is why I love Country music...

Because it reminds me of the things I love. Excerpts from some songs that remind me:

lightnin' bugs
riding with the windows let down
the sound Of a cooler slushin' on the bed 'a yo' truck
the sound of real country music
the stars Every single one.
--Sounds So Good, Ashton Shepherd

"Jack and Diane"
Livin life with no sense of time
After graduation and drinkin goodbye to friends
And I go back to watchin summer fade to fall
Growin up too fast and I do recall
Wishin time would stop right in its tracks
Every time I hear that song, I go back, I go back
We all have a song that somehow stamped our lives
Takes us to another place and time
So I go back to a pew, preacher, and a choir
Singin bout God, brimstone, and fire
And the smell of Sunday chicken after church
And I go back to the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers I shared with him
Now "Only The Good Die Young" stops me in my tracks
Every time I hear that song, I go back.
--I Go Back, Kenny Chesney

A little bit of chicken fried (steak that is)
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Sweet tea
And my house it`s not much to talk about But it`s filled with love.
the sunrise
the touch of a precious child.
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring.
Salute the ones who died
The ones that give their lives so we don`t have to sacrifice
All the things we love.

--A Little Bit of Chicken Fried, Zac Brown Band
