what is the best country song ever?

It's hard to argue with either of your choices. My favorite would be Merle's "Today I Started Loving You Again". At one time it was voted the "song you most wish you had written" by Nashville songwriters.

The entire Hank Sr. catalogue.

1. El Paso- Marty Robbins

2. I'm movin' on- Hank Snow

3. Sing me back home- Merle Haggard

I can think of 20 more..but you get the idea (Timeless Classics)-

Spirit of the Radio

How country feels

Excluding all new crap that shouldn't even be considered country I would say either FOLSOM PRISON BLUES OR MOVE IT ON OVER
