Sad Country Song Titles

Howdy, Knuckleheads.

I don’t know about you, but nothing ruins my good mood like listening to sad country songs.

I can be having a Chamber of Commerce day, all sunny skies and shirtsleeve temps, when one of those tear-jerkin’, heartbreakin’ songs starts playing on the radio.

It might be a real sad one like, Get Your Tongue Outta My Mouth ‘Cause I’m Kissing You Goodbye, or Her Teeth Were Stained, But Her Heart Was Pure.

Or maybe one of the saddest songs ever written. How Can I Miss You If You Won’t Go Away? and How Can You Believe Me When I Say I Love You When You Know I’ve Been A Liar All My Life? spring immediately to mind.

Let’s face it, when it comes to bottom-of-the-whiskey-bottle, crying-in-your-coffee mug tunes, no other genre can even come close to country music.

Can you name any rap songs that could stand toe-to-toe with county classics like I Keep Forgettin’ I Forgot About You, I Wanna Whip Your Cow, I Wouldn’t Take Her To A Dawg Fight, Cause I’m Afraid She’d Win or I’ve Got The Hungries For Your Love And I’m Waiting In Your Welfare Line.

Are there any jazz tunes that can make you tear up like If My Nose Were Full Of Nickels, I’d Blow It All On You, If You Don’t Leave Me Alone, I’ll Go And Find Someone Else Who Will, If You Leave Me, Can I Come Too? or Mama Get The Hammer (There’s A Fly On Papa’s Head).

Even the king of the torch songs, Ol’ Blue Eyes Frank Sinatra himself, never recorded music equal to My John Deere Was Breaking Your Field, While Your Dear John Was Breaking My Heart, My Wife Ran Off With My Best Friend, And I Sure Do Miss Him, Oh, I’ve Got Hair Oil On My Ears And My Glasses Are Slipping Down, But Baby I Can See Through You, or You’re The Reason Our Baby’s So Ugly.

I could go on.

We haven’t even mentioned I Can’t Love Your Body If Your Heart’s Not In It, I Wish I Were In Dixie Tonight, But She’s Out Of Town, I’ll Get Over You As Soon As You Get Out From Under Him, and I’m So Miserable Without You It’s Like Having You Here.

But you get the point.

Pick a sad country song when you just need a good cry in your beer. Here are a few more suggestions:

I Keep Forgettin’ I Forgot About You

If You Don’t Believe I Love You Just Ask My Wife

I Bought the Boots That Just Walked Out On Me

I Got In At 2 With A 10 And Woke Up At 10 With A 2

I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well

How Come Your Dog Don’t Bite Nobody But Me

Gloom, despair, and agony on me …
