What do you think are some of the most common rhymes in country songs? Or alternatively, rhymes that aren't necessarily extremely common, but when one word is used, is virtually always paired with another word, usually because they're the only things that rhyme (e.g. knowledge/college).
-Girl/world
"Don't Take the Girl" by Tim McGraw
"Here in the Real World" by Alan Jackson
"XXs and OOOs (An American Girl)" by Trisha Yearwood
"The World" by Brad Paisley
"One Boy, One Girl" by Collin Raye
-Life/wife
"Then What" by Clay Walker
"Ordinary Life" by Chad Brock
"Papa Loved Mama" by Garth Brooks
"Grown Men Don't Cry" by Tim McGraw
"Who's That Man?" by Toby Keith
-Knowledge/college
"Strawberry Wine" by Deana Carter
"These Are My People" by Rodney Atkins
"Nights I Can't Remember, Friends I'll Never Forget" by Toby Keith
Feel free to add more examples and/or think of new ones.

Girl/world:
Kenny Chesney - Pirate Flag ("And I traded it in for a whole 'nother world, a pirate flag and an island girl")
John Michael Montgomery - I Can Love You Like That ("I can love you like that, I would make you my world, move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl")
That last one reminds me that Earth/worth is another stock rhyme I've seen a million times. Drawing a blank for examples at the moment though.

Not a common one, but I found the Cali/rally rhyme in "Leave the Night On" to be clever.

I am blanking on the current song that is out at radio that uses this rhyme, but in the world of music censorship/editing, "backs" is the replacement for "ass". These are My People was one of those songs with "replacement rhymes".
