Country Songs? Pretty easy to answer if you know the music.?

Okay now I need songs that represent these emotions/actions in the lyrics. Note that they must all be appropriate, with the only swear maybe being damn, ***, or bastard that can at most only be said once or twice. No love songs, I'll explain why at the end.

Song 1: Something kind of upbeat. It should represent arrogancey. So like cocky lyrics. Preferably like two guys getting in a fight, in kind of I'll kick your *** kind of thing. I'm sure there's a country song with lyrics like this.

Song 2: Something more to a slower beat. Mostly about how life isn't fair but there's still a future. Not a love song. Just like, you get knocked down but you have to get back up.

Song 3: So like something bad has happened. There's no undoing it. Something talking about deep trouble. Not ha ha trouble but serious trouble. Again not a love song.

Okay there's three songs. Not too bad. If anyone knows country I'm sure they could match a song to it. I sure don't.

Explanation? I'm doing a soundtrack for my Of Mice and Men project. Each song represents a chapter. So yes I'm presenting it in school (that's why it must be mostly appropriate), and no love songs because there is really no love romance thing going on. There is really no romance in the book other than Curley's wife teasing guys and them being married. And really they don't even love each other.a

Thank you. :D I really don't listen to country so that's why I'm asking if someone can help me.

    1. As Good As I Once Was by Toby Kieth

    2. Wrinkles by Diamond Rio

    3. The Dance by Garth brooks, most misinterpret this as a love song but if you really listen youll discover its actually about the end of some goal or cause that remains incomplete but saying that the fight was worth it anyways.

    1. I agree with Dan R. that "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" is probably a good song, though I prefer the Jim Croce version, available on his Greatest Hits Album. He's considered part of the folk genre, so he's kind of country.

    2. I think Emerson Drive's "Moments" might work for this one, from their album Countrified.

    3. Rascal Flatt's "Why" from the Unstoppable album might work here, though there are parts of it that might not fit.

    Good luck, hope at least some of it helps. :)

  • Song 1:Fight by Ben Kweller

    He is a trucker

    Burning the highway

    His heart is strong as stone

    Counting them yard lines

    Passing the hard time

    Riding that black top home

    CHORUS:

    You gotta fight fight fight fight all the way

    You gotta fight fight fight all the way

    You gotta set your sight on the Lord in your life

    You gotta fight till your dying day

    She is an intern

    Fighting the love burn

    Rolling out tears like a wave

    That angel's boy friend

    Left her with nothing

    But she'll never be his slave

    CHORUS:

    You gotta fight fight fight fight all the way

    You gotta fight fight fight all the way

    You gotta set your sight on the Lord in your life

    You gotta fight till your dying day

    I'm like my grandma

    Short but I stand tall

    Playing every single card thats dealt to me

    Well you know some days are aces

    And some days are faces

    Well some days are 2's and 3's

    CHORUS:

    You gotta fight fight fight fight all the way

    You gotta fight fight fight all the way

    You gotta set your sight on the Lord in your life

    You gotta fight till your dying day

    Song 2:Fight like a Girl by Bombshel

    Little girl alone on the playground

    Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed around

    Wishin' she was invisible

    To them

    She ran home cryin'

    "Why do they hate me?"

    And Mama wiped the tears and said

    "Baby, you're brave and you're beautiful.

    So, hold your head high.

    Don't ever let 'em define

    The light in your eyes.

    Love yourself, give them Hell.

    You can take on this world.

    You just stand and be strong

    And then fight

    Like a girl."

    At 31 she was wheelin' and dealin'

    Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin'

    She was never gonna one of the boys, no

    She coulda gave up on her ambition

    And spent the rest of her life just wishin'

    Instead she listened to her mama's voice sayin'

    "Hold your head high.

    Don't ever let 'em define

    The light in your eyes.

    Love yourself, give them Hell.

    You can take on this world.

    You just stand and be strong

    And then fight

    Like a girl."

    Oh, with style and grace

    Kick *** and take names

    Ten years of climbin' that ladder

    Oh, but money and power don't matter

    When the doctor said "the cancer spread"

    She holds on tight to her husband and babies

    And says "this is just another test God gave me.

    And I know just how to handle this"

    I'll hold my head high

    I'll never let this define

    The light in my eyes

    Love myself, give it Hell

    I'll take on this world

    If I stand and be strong

    No, I'll never give up

    I will conquer with love

    And I'll fight like

    Like a girl

    Ooh

    Song 3:Sounds like Life to Me by Daryl Worley

    ( Darryl Worley, Wynn Varble, Phil O’Donnell )

    Got a call last night from an old friend’s wife

    Said I hate to bother you

    Johnny Ray fell off the wagon

    He’s been gone all afternoon

    I know my buddy so I drove to Skully’s

    And found him at the bar

    I say hey man, what’s going on

    He said I don’t know where to start

    Sarah’s old car’s about to fall apart

    And the washer quit last week

    We had to put momma in the nursing home

    And the baby’s cutting teeth

    I didn’t get much work this week

    And I got bills to pay

    I said I know this ain’t what you wanna hear

    But it’s what I’m gonna say

    (Chorus)

    Sounds like life to me it ain’t no fantasy

    It’s just a common case of everyday reality

    Man I know it’s tough but you gotta suck it up

    To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy

    It sounds like life to me

    Well his face turned red and he shook his head

    He said you don’t understand

    Three kids and a wife depend on me

    And I’m just one man

    To top it off I just found out

    That Sarah’s 2 months late

    I said hey bartender set us up a round

    We need to celebrate

    (Chorus)

    Sounds like life to me plain old destiny

    Yeah the only thing for certain is uncertainty

    You gotta hold on tight just enjoy the ride

    Get used to all this unpredictability

    Sounds like life

    Man I know its tough but you gotta suck it up

    To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy

    Sounds like life to me

    Sounds like life

    Goodluck with ur project :)

    Winner - Bobby Bare

    The hulk of a man with a beer in his hand he looked like a drunk old fool

    And I knew if I hit him right why I could knock him off of that stool

    But everybody they said watch out hey that's the Tiger Man McCool

    He's had the whole lotta fights and he's always come out winner yeah he's a winner

    But I had myself about five too many and I walked up tall and proud

    I faced his back and I faced the fact that he had never stooped or bowed

    I said Tiger Man you're a pussycat and a hush fell on the crowd

    I said let's you and me go outside and see who's the winner

    Well he gripped the bar with one big hairy hand then he braced against the wall

    He slowly looked up from his beer my God that man was tall

    He said boy I see you're a scrapper so just before you fall

    I'm gonna tell you just a little bout what it means to be a winner

    He said now you see these bright white smilin' teeth you know they ain't my own

    Mine rolled away like Chicklets down the street in San Antone

    But I left that person cursin' nursin' seven broken bones

    And he only broke ah three of mine that makes me the winner

    He said now behind this grin I got a steel pin that holds my jaw in place

    A trophy of my most successful motorcycle race

    And each morning when I wake and touch this scar across my face

    It reminds me of all I got by bein' a winner

    Now this broken back was the dyin' act of a handsome Harry Clay

    That sticky Cincinnati night I stole his wife away

    But that woman she gets uglier and she gets meaner every day

    But I got her boy that's what makes me a winner

    He said you gotta speak loud when you challenge me son cause it's hard for me to hear

    With this twisted neck and these migraine pains and this big ole cauliflower ear

    And if it wadn't for this glass eye of mine why I'd shed a happy tear

    To think of all that you gonna get by bein' a winner

    I got arthritic elbows boy I got dislocated knees

    From pickin' fights with thunderstorms and chargin' into trees

    And my nose been broke so often I might lose if I sneeze

    And son you say you still wanna be a winner

    Now you remind me a lotta my younger days with your knuckles a clenchin' white

    But boy I'm gonna sit right here and sip this beer all night

    And if there's somethin' that you gotta gain to prove by winnin' some silly fight

    Well okay I quit I lose you're the winner

    So I stumbled from that barroom not so tall and not so proud

    And behind me I still hear the hoots of laughter of the crowd

    But my eyes still see and my nose still works and my teeth're still in my mouth

    And you know I guess that makes me the winner

    The Fighting Side of Me - Merle Haggard

    I hear people talkin' bad,

    About the way we have to live here in this country,

    Harpin' on the wars we fight,

    An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.

    An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,

    An' standin' up for things they believe in.

    When they're runnin' down my country, man,

    They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

    Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

    Runnin' down the way of life,

    Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.

    If you don't love it, leave it:

    Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.

    If you're runnin' down my country, man,

    You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

    I read about some squirrely guy,

    Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'.

    An' I wonder just how long,

    The rest of us can count on bein' free.

    They love our milk an' honey,

    But they preach about some other way of livin'.

    When they're runnin' down my country, hoss,

    They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

    Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

    Runnin' down the way of life,

    Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.

    If you don't love it, leave it:

    Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.

    If you're runnin' down my country, man,

    You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

    Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

    Runnin' down the way of life,

    Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.

    If you don't love it, leave it:

    Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.

    If you're runnin' down my country, man,

    You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

    Song of the South - Alabama

    Song, song of the south

    Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth

    Gone, gone with the wind

    There ain't nobody looking back again

    Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch

    We all picked the cotton but we never got rich

    Daddy was a veteran, a southern democrat

    They oughta get a rich man to vote like that

    Sing it...

    Song, song of the south

    Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth

    Gone, gone with the wind

    There ain't nobody looking back again

    Well somebody told us Wall Street fell

    But we were so poor that we couldn't tell

    Cotton was short and the weeds were tall

    But Mr. Roosevelt's a gonna save us all

    Well momma got sick and daddy got down

    The county got the farm and they moved to town

    Pappa got a job with the TVA

    He bought a washing machine and then a Chevrole
