I've seen several Steve Earle songs on here but I don't think I've seen "Carrie Brown" from his fantastic album The Mountain with the Del McCoury band.

I also didn't see "Cocaine Blues" by Johnny Cash among his many songs listed.

I did see both "LA County" by Lyle Lovett and "Buenos Noches From a Lonely Room (She Wore Red Dresses)" by Dwight Yoakam, which are two of my personal favorites.

While I guess the same argument could be made for "Blood Red & Going Down" , I never really thought the narrator in "Coward Of The County" killed the Gatlin Boys , but just beat the crap out of them.

"Blood Red & Going Down" Tanya Tucker
"I Got Rights" Hank Williams Jr.
"Buenes Notchez From A Lonely Room" Dwight Yoakam
"Out Among The Stars" Merle Haggard
"Sing Me Back Home" Merle Haggard
"The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde" Merle Haggard
"Mama Tried" Merle Haggard (grey area but I cant imagine what other offense would call for turning "twenty-one in prison doing life without parole"
"Don't Take Your Guns To Town" Johnny Cash
"Memory Making Night" John & Audrey Wiggins
"Dead Of The Night" Tammy Cochran
"Pardon Me Ive Got Someone To Kill" Johnny Paycheck
"The Johnson's Of Turkey Ridge" Johnny Paycheck
"The Ballad Of Frisco Bay" Johnny Paycheck
"Red Georgia Clay" John Anderson
"Millers Cave" Bobby Bare
""Women's Prison" Loretta Lynn
"Laura , Whats He Got" Leon Ashley
"Turn It On , Turn It On, Turn It On" Tom T Hall (a serial killer even)
"Flowers" Chris Young
"Number 37405" Tim McGraw
"If Your Reading This" Tim McGraw
"Southern Justice" Travis Tritt
"San Francisco Mabel Joy" Mickey Newbury
"I'm Gonna Kill You Gene Watson
"The Ballad Of Richard Lindsey" Gene Watson
"Independence Day" Martina McBride
"Heathers Wall" Ty Herndon
"Cedertown Georgia" Waylon Jennings
"Loving County" Charlie Robison
"No Mans Land" Tanya Tucker
"Seven Spanish Angels" Ray Charles and Willie Nelson
"Mountain Right" Hoyt Axton
"The Legend Of The Wooley Swamp" Charlie Daniels
"Alyssa Lies" Jason Michael Carroll

Well , I've obsessed over this list entirely to much....

The song "Flowers" by Chris Young was never released as a single by him but it was released as a single by another artist and it charted in the top 40. Anyone remember who it was? I do just wondering if anyone else remembers.

I know Billy Yates (the writer had a version) , as did Gene Watson....
