^ I'm sure Gary Overton does; that was his call, not Jerrod's.

Two of my favorite country songs of all time are regret songs:
You Had To Be There - Tim McGraw
These Days - Glenn Csmpbell
Not as strong as the above but Blue Bedroom by Toby Keith is also a great song about regret.
I'm thinking we should start a thread about "No Regret" songs. Toby has some great album cuts in this category:
You Ain't Leavin (Thank God Are You)
She Left Me

I'll have to think of more as they come to me, but so far: Garth Brooks - What She's Doing Now George Jones - Choices Kris Kristofferson - Epitaph (Black and Blue) I'm thinking we should start a thread about "No Regret" songs. That'd be a good thread. I can instantly think of a song I'd post: "No Regrets" by Gary Allan. |

As much as it may pain some, there's plenty of country songs that talk about regret. George Strait - "Drinkin' Man" Great topic, and I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in saying such songs can hit a nerve with some that brings back painful memories. The above is one of those songs that immediately came to my mind when thinking of some for this thread. Ryan Bingham - "The Weary Kind" Mary Chapin Carpenter - "Between Here and Gone" Kenny Chesney - "Better As A Memory" Rodney Crowell - "After All This Time" Wade Hayes - "Where Do I Go to Start All Over" Alan Jackson - "Monday Morning Church" Alan Jackson - "Gone Crazy" Alison Krauss- "I Can Let Go Now" Blaine Larsen - "How Do You Get That Lonely" Reba - "The Greatest Man I Never Knew" David Nail - "The Secret" Blake Shelton - "The Baby" Gary Stewart - "An Empty Glass" |
