Stephanie McCoy’s Top 10 Country Songs of the Decade
There are all kinds of 'Best Songs of 2019' and 'Best Songs of the Decade' lists out there, so I thought I'd play along and come up with my own 'Stephanie McCoy's Top 10 Country Songs of the Decade' list. Now, please don't get all judge-y on me. :) We all have our favorites and there are several reasons why these particular songs made my list.
Some of the songs made my list because they are 'earworm' songs--*a catchy song or tune that runs continually through a person's mind. And not to get all mushy on everybody but some of these songs were popular when my dad passed away suddenly in 2014 and back then--and still to this day--they have become sort of therapeutic to me when I listen to them. A lot of lyrics in country music have a way of touching your heart and/or stirring up emotions, that's one of the main reasons I'm such a big fan of country music. Anyway, here's my top 10 favorite county songs of the decade (in no particular order)...and don't get me wrong, there are LOTS of other songs out there that I really like, I just wanted to stop at ten. :)
