Sara Evans' latest lead single just finished up its run on the country charts. Since her debut in 1997, Evans has released eight lead singles. Pick your favorite!

All of these have been fun and Sara is my favorite female singer. Gotta go with "Backseat Of A Greyhound Bus". Easily one of the best written songs she's recorded and arguably the best vocal performance by her which is saying something. "Born To Fly" was a close second and one of my favorite country songs of all time as well.
1. Backseat Of A Greyhound Bus 2. Born To Fly 3. A Real Fine Place To Start 4. As If (2007 nostalgia at it's best. Underrated Sara song) 5. True Lies 6. A Little Bit Stronger 7. Slow Me Down 8. Cryin' Game
I don't dislike any of these songs by the way.

"Born To Fly"
ALBS is still a favorite, though.

Ranking the top 2 was difficult; the rest were fairly easy though.

1) A Real Fine Place To Start 2) Cryin' Game 3) A Little Bit Stronger 4) Slow Me Down 5) As If 6) Backseat Of A Greyhound Bus
7) Born To Fly
8) True Lies
This was so hard!!! The top 6 are at least almost all completely equal. I have never been the biggest fan of "Born To Fly"; it is a wonderful song, but I think I am irritated by the unnecessary 2-minute long musical outro at the end. And "True Lies" is good, but there is nothing to make it memorable compared to the rest of her standout singles, aside from the fact that it sounds completely outdated. The top 6, however, are in fairly constant rotation in my life!!!

01. Cryin' Game (My favorite single from her, love the music video as well. :) ) 02. Backseat Of A Greyhound Bus (beautiful song and quite possibly the best vocal she's done.) 03. A Real Fine Place To Start (Sara took an already great Radney foster song and gave it such a thrilling vocal performance.) 04. Born To Fly (at the time this sounded so unique on the radio and I still think it's one of Sara's most adventurous singles.) 05. A Little Bit Stronger (I'm so happy she got a hold of this instead of Lady Antebellum as I think it needed Sara's warm vocal.) 06. As If (She just sounds like she's having so much fun on this one, and one of her most memorable videos.) 07. Slow Me Down (Love how different this sounded for her, only wish it's production was a little more tame(?) ) 08. True Lies (Love the production on this and honestly if it was any other track on the album it would've ranked higher, this one was surprisingly forgettable compared to the other material on the album.

"Born to Fly" I always thought "Perfect" was lead single of Restless. Shows how much I know.

"Born to Fly" is the obvious choice here. The way Sara sings it goes a long way. I can't imagine any other singer doing it like she does. "Backseat of a Greyhound Bus" is another of my favorites too.

"Cryin Game" eventually got my vote, but I almost went with "Born To Fly" because I love that one as well. "As If" would have been my third choice.

1. “A Little Bit Stronger” 2. “Cryin' Game” 3. “Slow Me Down” 4. “Born to Fly” 5. “As If” 6. “A Real Fine Place to Start” 7. “Backseat of a Greyhound Bus”
I don't feel as strongly about all of these as the 2nd singles, but I still like them all. I love "A Little Bit Stronger" and "Cryin' Game" especially.
