"Coward of the County" is up there too....but yeah, for sheer country LEGEND power, it's hard to beat that one you posted.

A cowboy outlaw...
A sailor/pirate...
A jet fighter pilot...
A dam builder...
One of these things is different from the others. One of these things just doesn't belong.

I'm not a big country fan, but I would definitely put "Highwayman" in the top 10 for sure. Others I'd include somewhere:
Ballad of Pancho and Lefty - Willie and Merle (Townes' version I've never really cared for)
The Thunder Rolls - Garth
Folsom Prison Blues - Cash
Man of Constant Sorrow - traditional
Gambler/Coward of the County/Love Will Turn You Around - Kenny Rogers
I Will Always Love You - Dolly
edited to add:
Seminole Wind - John Anderson
Pass It On Down/Song of the South & that one about a fiddle in the band - Alabama (there was a fourth one of their's I liked, something about a bordertown and some fugitives crossing through it, but I can't remember the name and wikipedia's not really helping)
for some reason, I love one called You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma - forgot who does that one though

Don't even front. Honky Tonk Badonkadonk is the greatest country song of all time.

No greatest country music song would be complete without these:
"Honky Tonk Heroes" - Waylon
"Move it On Over" "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" - Hank Williams
"Take This Job and Shove It" - Johnny Paycheck
"Guitar Town" "Hometown Blues" - Steve Earle

is Cash Country? He dips into the genre, but I'd generally put a whole lot of his stuff in the rock & roll variety.
I fourth and fifth Coward of the County, and the Gambler.

I would consider Cash country for sure, just not the same as the current "pop" country. He's more in line with the traditionalists and even gospel aspects of the genre. To me, he's more of a country singer that garnered cross-over appeal to the rock crowd. |
