Country music is a great place to go when you need to cry, laugh, smile, or go back to a memory. Here are a few of my personal favorite songs that always can help me when I am in certain moods.
1. "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood
This is the perfect song when you are mad, feeling hurt, or you have been done wrong. The upbeat, playful tempo gets you excited and makes you feel like nothing can get in your way.
2. "You're Gonna Miss This" by Trace Adkins
I admit, I have sat in my car crying my eyes out listening to this song. This song makes you realize how important the little things are in life.
3. "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" by Justin Moore
This song holds a special place in my heart. It is also a tear jerker, but it shows you that you should never take a conversation or an experience with a person for granted. You never know when the last conversation or time spent with a person will be.
4. "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert
This song gives me goosebumps. It reminds me that no matter where I go in life I will always have something to look back on.
5. "Better Man" by Little Big Town
Okay last tear jerk, I promise. This song is for all of us who have had that person in your life that you wish could have been there longer, but you knew that it was for the best if you just let them go.
6. "The Weekend" by Brantley Gilbert
I could listen to Brantley Gilbert all day, but this song is the perfect "going out" anthem for the weekend. Every time I hear it while I'm driving I start dancing in my seat and turn the volume all the way up.
7. "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" by Jake Owen
This song always makes me smile. It is a fun song that takes you back to good memories, and good times.
8. "I Don't Want This Night To End" by Luke Bryan
Did you expect me to make a country music list and not include Luke Bryan? This song is the perfect song for a date night, or to take you back to that perfect night.
9. "Somewhere In My Car" by Keith Urban
Another upbeat song that just makes you want to dance. This is one of my favorite Keith Urban songs, his voice is so beautiful and authentic. Even though it is about missing someone, the upbeat tempo and catchy lyrics makes you just want to dance and have fun with it.
10. "Die A Happy Man" by Thomas Rhett
Thomas Rhett wrote this song for his wife! Their relationship is so beautiful and they have so much love for each other, I want someone who looks at me the way he looks at her. This song makes me smile knowing that their kind of love is exists.
