MARRIAGE Music-- Country

[Zietgeist]

It's been a long time since I heard it. But the chorus is 'I left something turn on at home, it aint the stove, it aint the heater, she hotter and a whole lot sweeter!'

That and the afore mentioned 'One Hot Momma'
But my DW doesn't believe me that I can think of her like that. Yet.

That's such a good song!! "I Left Something Turned On At Home" by Trace Atkins.

Job,

I think most of them are good for a nice close two step as well. I also need to add Ian Tyson "Own Heart's Delight" to the list.

Blessings

I Thought I Loved You Then by Brad Paisley

I am surprised no one has mentioned Paul Overstreet. His songs are about family/ loving your spouse. He wrote 2 of Randy Travis's bigger hits. He now writes and sings his own songs. Check him out, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

"If I Could Bottle This Up" - Paul Overstreet
"Ball and Chain" - Paul Overstreet
"'Til the Mountains Disappear" - Paul Overstreet
"All the Fun" - Paul Overstreet

May I chalk the oversight to school?? I breezed through the posts fairly quickly. In reality being here should be a no-no until mid March.

[heartofsong]

I wasn't being huffy about it, just mentioning my favorites in the context of your comment about Paul Overstreet.

[books]

I figured so but needless to it is embarrasing when someone says "hey, I said that". Oh well, guess I can either laugh or get uptight about it. I thinking laughing is the better choice.

Books, I apologize for making things awkward! Thanks for your graciousness!

Job, I had to revive this thread because this great oldie popped into my head this morning:

"Let's Chase Each Other Around the Room" by Merle Haggard

Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight
Let's play the games we played on our wedding night
To lock and bolt the door is only right
Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight

Seems like lately people love to play with fire
The other games they play are just as bad
I'd rather stay at home and feel your burning lips
And play the kind of games that make me glad

Let's don't chase around and make each other weary
Let's keep all our love at home and out of sight
Let's leave everything like jealousy behind us
And let's chase each other 'round the room tonight

Oh, I just thought of "The Loving Kind" by Nancy Griffith that came out last year. She is categorized as a folk artist, but her music sounds much like old country from way back so I think it fits well here. The song is about real life interracial couple Richard and Mildred Loving:

They were the loving kind
She was black and he was white
In Virginia nineteen fifty-eight
They found love amongst the hate

Well the law said they could not wed
They married anyway
The sheriff put them both in jail
Separated 'till they made their bail

They changed the heart of a nation
with their wedding vows
From the highest court in the land
Their union would lawfully stand
Simply Mildred and Richard
That's how they'll be remembered
They proved that love is truly blind
They were the loving kind.

The Lovings lived a quiet life
In their Virginia home
and while the case worked it's way through the courts
They brought three children to this world
Richard died in seventy-five
Mildred kept their love alive
'Till the spring of two thousand-eight
Fifty years beyond the hate

They changed the heart of a nation
with their wedding vows
From the highest court in the land
Their union would lawfully stand
Simply Mildred and Richard
That's how they'd be remembered
They proved that love is truly blind
They were the loving kind.

[Nanci Griffith]
