List some good ole tear jerkers in the country music genre.?

Question

Okay.......forget the tear jerkers....lets go love songs only. But thanks for the answers I already have...keep thinking!

Answer 1

"Bless The Broken Road"- Rascal Flatts

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.



"Cool thing"- Rascal Flatts

We were wrapped up in a blanket
red wine buzz kickin' in
a little Sarasota moonlight
driftwood fire burnin'
she was on break from Ohio State
and I was down there sellin'
parasail rides
just another summer day
till I strapped her in and
watched her fly

[CHORUS]
Talk about a sunset
all I could see were purples
and reds
and her silhouette wavin' goodbye
she didn't come there lookin' for love
and the cool thing was
neither did I and neither did I

She dipped down in the water
as I slowed down holdin' that line
wet t-shirt on a two piece
we ditched that boat and
hung outside
and we walked ankle deep in ocean
you know that place where
footprints disappear
just like that evenin' she drove away
it'll be burned in my mind for a
million years

[REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]

WOO, WOO, WOO



"Falling Upside Down"- Rascal Flatts

There's no gravity up here
It's kind of hard to explain
Every time I'm holding you
It's like backwards rain - yeah

[Chorus]
You lift me up like a kite on a string
Like a bird on newfound wings
So high on you, I'm floating and flying around
Your love is like fallin' upside down

You've got me so lightheaded
It's a dizzy mood
Spinning uncontrollably
And gaining altitude

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
Look at me
Used to be, I could keep my feet on the ground
When you said you could take me higher
You weren't playing around
(You weren't playing around)

[Repeat Chorus




"Fast Cars and Freedom"- Rascal Flatts

Starin' at you takin' off your makeup
Wondering why you even put it on
I know you think you do but baby you don't need it
Wish that you could see what I see it when it's gone
I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder

[Chorus:]
Wait, baby don't move, right here it is
T-shirt hanging off a Dogwood Branch
That river was cold but we gave love a chance
Yeah, yeah for me
You don't look a day over Fast Cars and Freedom
That sunset river bank first time feeling

Yeah, smile and shake your head as if you don't believe me
I'll just sit right here and let you take me back
I'm on that gravel road, look at me
On my way to pick you up you're standing on the front porch
Looking just like that remember that

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder

[Chorus]

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
You don't look a day over Fast Cars and Freedom
That sunset river bank first time feeling




"I Melt"- Rascal Flatts

When you light those candles
Up there on that mantle, setting the mood
Well, I just lie there staring
Silently preparing to love on you
Well, I can feel the heat from across the room
Ain't it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do

[Chorus]
I melt every time you look at me that way
It never fails, anytime, any place
This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt
I melt

Don't know how you do it
I love the way I lose it, every time
What's even better
Is knowing that forever you're all mine
The closer you get, the more my body aches
One little stare from you is all it takes

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

Every time you look at me that way
I melt, I melt




"Like I Am"- Rascal Flatts

Lying here with you
I watch you while you sleep
The dawn is closing in
With every breath you breathe

I can feel the change
The change you've made in me
But will I ever see
All the things you see in me

[Chorus]
When you say that I'm one of a kind
Baby, I don't see it but you believe
That I'm so strong and true, I promise you
I'll try to be that kind of man
Because you love me like I am

When it comes to love
I may not know the rules
But there's one thing I know
My heart belongs to you, just you

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
You show me you love me
With a fire that burns deep inside

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

- I am
I'll never understand
I don't think I'll ever understand
Why you love me
Why you love me just like I am

[Fade]




"Long Slow Beautiful Dance"- Rascal Flatts

Sounds like a scene from the silver screen
Yeah, that's how it was
Love doesn't always look like a picture perfect storybook
Ah, but sometimes it does

Standing beside her the stars shined even brighter
And for a moment all the world was, all the world was still
I knew we belonged together the moment my eyes met hers
And I thought nothing lasts forever, but maybe this one will

[Chorus]
A deep breath and baby steps
That's how the whole thing starts
It's a long slow beautiful dance
To the beat of a heart

The world starts to spin again, you learn things you didn't know then
Feels like the bloom is off the rose
But you weather a few storms and you pull out a few thorns
And together the garden grows and grows

[Repeat Chorus]

It's a long, slow, beautiful dance, my friend

The house is filled with so much love
We got more than enough for two
So we've been thinking about having a baby
I know it sounds crazy, but it seems like the natural thing to do

[Repeat Chorus]

It's a long, slow
It's a long, slow
It's a long, slow




"Love You Out Loud"- Rascal Flatts

I have always been a little shy
I've always been the quiet type till now
And I never let my feelings show
I never let anybody know
Just how much I was so deep in love
But now that you're in my arms

[Chorus]
I'm gonna stand on a rooftop, climb up a mountaintop
Baby, scream and shout
I wanna sing it on the radio, show it on a video
Baby, leave no doubt
I want the whole world to know just what I'm all about
I love to love you out loud

You keep bringing out the free in me
What you do to my heart just makes me melt
And I don't think I can resist
But I've never been one to kiss and tell
A love this true can't be subdued
So I'm gonna let out a yell

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
Baby, I want the whole world to see
Just how good your love looks on me

[Repeat Chorus]

Baby, I love to love you out loud
Yeah, I love to love you out loud




"My Wish"- Rascal Flatts

I hope that days come easy and moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

More than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it,
To your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

Oh More than anything, Yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it,
To your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.




"One Good Love"- Rascal Flatts

One good love
Erases all the bitter tears on an empty dance hall
All those lonely nights when she never called
It just don't seem so tragic after all
With one good love

One good love
And daddy's hands were strong and fair
And a momma understands because she's been there
And all mistakes were just because they cared so much
With one good love

[Chorus]
One good love
You bless all my memories
You soften the fall of my tears
And in my arms you're more than enough
You're one good love

Hey you're one good love
Yeah, you're one good love

[Repeat Chorus]

One good love
And born again means more than pass the plate and bow your head
Yes, you bury what needs burying, you raise it from the dead
The very best, you heal the brokeness, give grace to everyone
With one good love

Yeah, oh, one good love
Hey, hey, one good love
Yeah, I'll give you one good love
Oh, give me one good love now, love yeah
ooooooo yeah
Lord, I feel born again, yeah
You got to give me one good love now
One good love




"Shine On"- Rascal Flatts

I was lost in darkness and sinking sand
Well I was barely nothing, a broken man
But you picked up the pieces of my heart in your hand
Then you came and showed to me love's second chance

[Chorus]
Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Whenever something's missing
You're exactly what I need
Your love has shown me the light and now I finally see
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah

Lord knows that I'm not perfect but I sure do try
And I see the man that I can be in your eyes
Well there are times I still get lost in yesterday
But you put the past behind me and you light my way

[Repeat Chorus]

Shine on (let your love shine)
Shine on (on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah
(Your love on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah

[Repeat Chorus]

Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Won't you keep on shining, yeah
Won't you keep on shining your love
Down on me, baby
Won`t you keep on shining, yeah
Won`t you keep on shining your love
Yeah, you're exactly what I need, baby
Yeah, you are




"The Day Before You"- Rascal Flatts

I had all but given up on finding
The one that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready settled for
Less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was all the day before you

Now you're here and everything changes
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
The day before you

In your eyes I see forever
Makes me wish that my life never knew
The day before you

The Heaven knows those years without you
Shaping my heart for the that day I found you
You're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you

Now you're here and everything changes
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
The day before you




"This Everyday Love"- Rascal Flatts

Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love

Each morning the sun shines through my window
Lands on the face of a dream come true
I shuffle to the kitchen for my coffee
And catch up on the front page morning news
Then she walks up behind me and throws her arms around my neck
Just another normal thing I've come to expect

[Chorus]
It's ordinary plain and simple
Typical, this everyday love
Same ol', same ol' keeping it new
(Same ol'/This everyday love)
Emotional, so familiar
Nothing about it too peculiar
Oh, but I can't get enough
Of this everyday love

Every afternoon I make a phone call
Listen to the voice that warms my heart
I drag myself through a few more hours
Then head on home to try and beat the dark
Her smile will be right there when I step through that door
And it will be that way tomorrow, just like everyday before

[Repeat Chorus]

Wouldn't change one single thing about it
No, it's run-of-the-mill, still I can't live without it

[Repeat Chorus]

Yeah, of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough of this everyday love
Can't get enough




"Too Good Is True"- Rascal Flatts

I guess it's cause and effect
Your heart and mine
The way that we connect
Keeps blowing my mind
There you go again, it never ends
What you do to me

[Chorus]
That I have seen the light of day
Love is finally going my way
Is it too good to be true
Give me one more kiss, one more touch
Baby, I just can't get enough of you
This time, too good is true

All of a sudden
I'm not who I used to be
I had my heart locked
But you held the key
And you find a way, everyday
To show me even more

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
Some people say we're too good to be true
But they don't get to be loved by you

[Repeat Chorus]

Oh this time, too good is true
Yes it is, yeah




"Waiting All My Life"- Rascal Flatts

Everybody needs it
Everybody wants it
Everybody's searching for someone
Been down a thousand highways
I never thought would end
Baby, I've been

[Chorus]
Waiting all my life to find you
Always been one step behind you
Your love babe
I've been waiting all my life

I was tired of waiting
Every night was praying
Everyday would be the day I'd find you
I grew so impatient, how long would it take
To know you were out there somewhere
Somewhere waiting, wondering just like me

[Second Chorus]
I've been waiting all my life to love you
All that time I was dreaming of you
Your love babe
I've been waiting all my life

And did I lose faith, did I lose heart
Maybe I did, but I never lost my way
To where you are-I've been

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Second Chorus]

Your love I've been waiting
Your love I've been waiting all my life
All my life, all my life




"Where you are"- Rascal Flatts

There you are standing strong,
I'm a leaf holding on
You believe like a child,
In this fire runnin' wild
Oh I love how you see
Right to the heart of me

[Chorus:]
You're a waterfall, washing over me
I'm a thirsty man let me drink you in
Well I am on my way,
You're a mountain top
When I reach for you, your love lifts me up
All that I want is to be
Where you are

I'm the frozen ground, you're the warm sunlight
Shining down on me, baby just in time
Well I have never been in a love like this
Oh, you move my soul every time we kiss
And I love how you heal;
I can't believe how alive I feel

[Chorus]

Where you are - Oooo, Oooo, Oooo

[Chorus]




"You"- Rascal Flatts

[Chorus]
Every road that I've been down
The only truth that I have found
There's only one thing I can't live without
You

I was searching for something I thought I would never find
Losing my mind
In and out of bad love, I thought I was born to lose
Then came you
I thought I knew what the real thing was
But nothing shakes me like your love does
I've been hypnotized
Now I realize

[Repeat Chorus]

Every time I get lost in a temperamental mood
You still stay cool
Just when I think that this life's about to drive me insane
You take the reins
Every time I feel I'm drifting off course
You're my compass, you're my one true north
In a mixed up world
You make sense to me girl

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
Yeah, every road girl
Leads me to you
And baby, that's all I need to know

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

Every road that I've been down in my life
Every time I feel I'm taking off
Every road that I've been down in my life
Every road girl, leads me to you
Yes it did, yes it did
Every road girl
Every road leads me to you

[Fade]

other songs: "Beautiful Mess"- Diamond Rio

Answer 2

As the Possum himself refers to them, here's some 'sad, slopping tear jerkers' for ya. Hope this helps.

Faron Young - Your Cheating Heart
John Conlee - Rose Colored Glasses
Johnny Cash - I Still Miss Someone
Hank Williams - I Feel So Lonesome I Could Cry
Charley Pride - Crystal Chandeliers
Willie Nelson - Always On My Mind
Merle Haggard - Hungry Eyes
Patsy Cline - I Fall To Pieces
Brad Paisley & Dolly Parton - When I Get Where I'm Going
Vince Gill - Go Rest High On That Mountain

Answer 3

Concrete Angel - Martina McBride
Arlington - Trace Adkins (not old, but tear jerker)
Kern River - Merle Haggard
Silver Wings - Merle Haggard (or Don Williams)
I'm Not Lisa - Jessi Colter
Blues Man - Alan Jackson
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams Sr.

The best one I can think of is by Dolly Parton, it's called "Me & Little Andy" (I think), and it is sooooo sad. But it is really hard to find. I saw her do it live once, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Answer 4
