8 Country Songs for Every Mood
Saving Country Music

Country music allows me to experience many different emotions. Whether I wake up on the wrong side of the bed or I just need something to listen to on my drive home, country artists have written and performed a song for each mood. So if you're looking for song for each moment, I've got them right here for you. Many of these songs have gotten me through tough times, good times, and everything in between.


1. For when you're feeling down and just need to take a drive:

Highway Don't Care by Tim McGraw ft. Taylor Swift

"Bet your window's rolled down and your hair's pulled back,
And I bet you got no idea you're going way too fast."

If you're a girl, and have never listened to this song with your "windows rolled down and your hair pulled back," next time you're feeling blue, DO IT. Sometimes it feels good to feel sad.. and you know what I mean.


2. For when you're missing someone:

You Should Be Here by Cole Swindell

"You should be here,
standing with your arm around me here.
Cutting up, cracking a cold beer, saying cheers,
hey y'all it's sure been a good year."

What I like about this song, is everyone can interpret it however they want to. My
mom says it reminds her of her mom who passed away almost 12 years ago; I think about my boyfriend in the Marines that I miss every single day he's gone; but for Cole, it is about his late father. Because when you're missing someone you love, all you want is for them to be right by your side.


3. For when you're deeply in love:

From the Ground Up by Dan + Shay

"This life will go by
in the blink of an eye,
but I wouldn't want to spend it
without you by my side."

I don't even think I need to explain this one. The first time I heard this song, I instantly started tearing up and sent it to my boyfriend. I mean when you're just so in love with someone and you hear the words you feel put into a song.. who wouldn't get emotional?


4. For when you're pissed off:

Kerosene by Miranda Lambert


"Forget your high society
I'm soakin' it in Kerosene
Light 'em up and watch them burn
Teach them what they need to learn, HA!"

Even if you didn't get cheated on, you just want revenge, or maybe just the chance light something on fire, this song gives you everything you need at that moment. The tempo just pumps you up and fills that need to actually do something.


5. For when you're drinking with friends:

All Summer Long by Kid Rock

"And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song"

I can almost guarantee that even if some of your friends don't listen to country music 7 out of 10 will know this song and sing along. It's almost magical. And the best part, is they'll probably crack open another beer just for the occasion.


6. For when you just want to "shake it":

Country Girl (Shake It For Me) by Luke Bryan

"Shake it for the birds, shake it for the bees,
shake it for the catfish swimmin' down deep in the creek."

This is probably the country girl anthem. Of course lost of dancing will be involved!


7. For when you're feeling discouraged:

Follow Your Arrow by Kasey Musgraves

"You're damned if you do
and you're damned if you don't
So you might as well just do whatever you want."

You can never please everyone. You do one thing, you're criticized, you do the opposite.. you're still going to get criticized. Why waste you're time trying to make everyone happy when the only person's happiness that truly matters most is yourself? (Side note: Kasey Musgraves is such a fun soul. Her music is so honest and free spirited. I love it.)


8. For when you realize the reason why things didn't work out:

Good in Goodbye by Carrie Underwood

"As bad as it was,
as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn’t get
what I thought that I deserved."

I remember when I broke up with my high school boyfriend, I thought the world was over and I was never going to find love again. But after walking away and realizing how toxic that relationship was for me and then finding someone who truly cares aout me, it all made sense. Sometimes saying goodbye is the best thing you can do, even though it hurts like hell initially. Remember what Garth Brooks once said: "Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers."


Needless to say, I could go on and on with every single song that makes me feel different ways, but I don't think this article would ever end.

Country music is just so real and has lyrics that tell a story every time.

So thank you country music artists for feeding my soul.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
