"The sun beam hit the jim beam and ricocheted of a bottle of coke." - "Angel Like Her" - Trent Tomlinson.
"This morning is monday, where are you now, teasing my memory, teaching me how, to lay low when I donβt want to." - Rodney Crowell's "Ashes By Now" (later a hit for Lee Ann Womack)
"The hour is early, the whole world is quiet, a beautiful morning is about to ignite, Iβm ready for danger, Iβm ready for fire, Iβm ready for something to lift me up higher" - Rodney Crowell's "Still Learning How To Fly"
"Sure looks good in the picture books, makes me stop and take second looks yeah life a white sand on a big white beach, everythingβs right within my reach, I wanna go where the grass is green but I guess Iβll have to take myself with me and Iβm not sure thatβs who I want to see." - Warren Brothers "The Lucky" (for my money the best song they've ever recorded and I still think it's a big hit (McGraw, you hear me?).

A couple more...
"Maybe I pray too much, maybe Iβm wasting godβs time, living without your touch is driving me out of my mind, if you could only see how much you matter to me, maybe you would stay forever?" Hal Ketcham's "Stay Forever."
This one's not a country song but with the violins on this "acoustic bonus track" it should be (and vocal aside, it might be a country song, imagine if Stapleton cut it).
I need someone that Iβll look to in the lonely hour that we all go through, to give me comfort and love me through, in the lonely hour I need you." - Sam Smith.

For stumbling through a mess of dances, For squandering my second chances, For wrecking every dream and breaking everything I ever had...
"Reckless" - Martina McBride
The lyrics don't really make much sense out of context because the first verse and then the entire chorus are all just a buildup to the hook at the end of the chorus, but I love the vague yet descriptive nature of these opening lines.

Aaron Watson - "Bluenonnets (Julia's Song)" (written by Aaron Watson)
"There's so much I can't explain Such as gravity and pain Still I remain, blindfolded and full of faith I kissed my angel girl goodbye Still can't help but wonder why But I believe I'll see her again someday
So, hold 'em tender, hold 'em tight Pray every mornin', day, and night That God will help you raise them right And don't you blink, don't blink
'Cause like bluebonnets in the spring We're only here for a little while It's beautiful and bittersweet So make the most of every mile So pack light and love heavy Give it all your heart and soul So in the end you won't regret one thing Life is like bluebonnets in the spring
Life can be filled full of sorrow Time is something you can't borrow So love like there's no tomorrow Because today could the day"

There's a silence on the front lines; You can cut it with a knife. You can stay and take your chances Or you can run to save your life.

Mama got a call from the Principal's office "Better get down here fast 'Cause Mandy passed out when her water broke in the middle of geometry class" Her mama didn't know she was nine months late Been gettin' on her 'bout gainin' weight And now she's a grandma - Brandy Clark, "Big Day in a Small Town"
Love the sh*t out of every song on this album, but this one might be my favorite just because of how much I love this intro, lmao.

I don't listen to Country music, but I like:
Reba McEntire's "I'm A Survivor" with dramatic lyrics that aren't sung dramatically and not singing dramatically works:
"I was born three months too early The doctor gave me thirty days"
In Jessica Andrews's "Who I Am," the fourth and fifth lines are ironic for somebody's biggest hit:
"If I live to be a hundred And never see the seven wonders That'll be alright If I don't make it to the big leagues If I never win a Grammy"
