Another favorite is "Whiskey River" done by Willie Nelson live on the Willie and Family Live Album. On the same album is Johnny Paycheck doing is signature song: "Take This Job and Shove It" which is another classic, and as it happens seems to go through my head every time I talk to my boss.

Drinking a beer and chewing copenhagen? Damn, that's hard core. I chewed for 10 years and couldn't drink with a chew in. You must swallow a lot of juice.

Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces" can't be beat for emotional expression, vocal quality and lyrics.

How could 'Tennessee Waltz' miss, or 'Folsom Prison Blues' or 'Your Cheatin' Heart' or 'Ghost Rders in the Sky'?

Roses for Mama -- C.W. McCall
Hello Country Bumpkin -- Cal Smith
Okie From Muskogee -- Merle Haggard
On the Wings of a Dove -- Ferlin Husky
He'll Have to Go -- Jim Reeves

Bonus pick
El Paso -- Marty Robbins

It's pretty obvious that you can't make a list of just five of the greatest country songs.
It's also obvious that the writing in country songs has just stomped the crap out of the writing of rock and pop songs.

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together, all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And, you can tell your friend there with you, he'll have to go

Look how much you know that the singer doesn't even tell you in spoken words.
