Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight is mine. El Paso is the perfect song though... |

Another song to nominate is Marty Robbins 'El Paso'. Or is that cancelled now as well? I can't keep up. |

Rolling Stone puts "I Walk The Line" #1. Willie and Waylon's "Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" is pretty groovy. Dolly "Jolene" is great. |

"Convoy" was a phenomenon, sorta like Old Town Road. |

Joyce the owner and I became close and I used to help her when she would get busy...help her close and such. She wanted to hear this like 24 hours a day. It really is one of the best. |

"The gambler" by Kenny Rodgers. Only because I would car pool with a friend of mine as a kid. Going to soccer or baseball games. His mom loved this song and would always play it on her car cosset player. She loved the song, obviously. I don't like country music too much. But this song has nostalgic meaning to me. |

The fact this thread made it to page two without someone offering up “Seven Spanish Angels” is an embarrassment. “Road to Ensenada” is a fabulous country song. |

"Seven Spanish Angels" is one of those songs that strikes me as more interesting--especially in its attempt to fuse country with R &B/gospel--than it is good. Lyle Lovett just doesn't do it for me. |
