We had this discussion two years in the "Non-Singles and News" thread (one of my first introductions to Pulse, lol), but now it gets its own thread.
Now, I've never flat out cried to a song, but I'll admit I have had my eyes water up to a few over the years.
Blake Shelton - "The Baby" Jeff Carson - "The Car" (will always be my top 2) Jeff Carson - "Real Life (I Never Was The Same Again)" Jamey Johnson - "The Dollar" The Farm - "Be Grateful" Bobby Pinson - "Don't Ask Me How I Know" (the "you oughta make that drive to say goodbye to your Grandpa before he goes" line is really rough. I actually had the chance to go visit my grandfather one day in April of 2007 but I passed. The next day he died of a stroke...)
Other songs that affect me emotionally:
Randy Travis - "Angels" Gary Allan - "Life Ain't Always Beautiful" Craig Morgan - "Almost Home" Brad Paisley - "Letter To Me" Patty Loveless - "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye" James Otto - "Days Of Our Lives" Darryl Worley - "When You Need My Love" Kenny Chesney - "Don't Blink" Rachel Proctor - "Me And Emily" Steve Azar - "Waitin' On Joe" Steve Azar - "You Don't Know A Think" LoCash Cowboys - "Best Seat In The House" Terri Clark - "She Didn't Have Time" Waycross - "Nineteen" Mark Wills - "She's In Love" Carolina Rain - "Dealin'" Chalee Tennison - "Go Back" Brett Eldredge - "Raymond" Chad Brock - "Ordinary Life" Carrie Underwood - "So Small" Blue County - "I Get To" Austin Webb - "Slip On By" Trace Adkins - "You're Gonna Miss This" Tebey - "'Til It's Gone"

Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill's "Meanwhile Back at Momma's" got me nearly teary eyed a few times.

Garth Brooks - "When You Come Back to Me Again"
Probably the closest I've ever come to crying while listening to a country song. I don't even really know why but I just love the song.

The 'P.S. go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can' lyric in Brad Paisley's "Letter To Me" brings tears to my eyes every damn time. It's so true. :(
I can also get teary eyed when listening to Jake Owen's "What We Ain't Got" especially if I'm really focused on it or watching the video.
I'm not much of a 'cryer' when it comes to music. There could be more, but those are the first two that came to mind.

Heck I don't mind admitting I've shed a few tears at some songs....
Gretchen Peters- "Everything Falls Away" (reminds me of my friend who died in March, this song is just so hauntingly beautiful)
Rascal Flatts- "Why" Jason Aldean- "Fast" (can't believe I would get emotional at an Aldean song, but with me leaving for college soon, I totally get this one)

I don't tend to cry at songs very often, but there are a select few that can get me emotionally.
Jason Blaine- "They Don't Make 'Em Like That Anymore" Canaan Smith- "Bronco" Brad Paisley- "He Didn't Have to Be" Glen Campbell- "I'm Not Gonna Miss You"
And not because it's sad, but because it's so beautiful, Alan Jackson's "Let It Be Christmas"
ETA: Also, Kenny's "There Goes My Life".

I once told this story in the "Stories about anything country music related" thread but I figure it fit here too.
My older sister was not a fan of country music growing up. She always thought it was corny and "uncool". One Fall Saturday afternoon in 2005, I was visiting her and her family at her house in Gowanda, New York (about an hour drive from where I lived back then). I got control of the remote and preceded to turn on CMT or GAC (can't recall which one). Anyway, every video my sister decided to be her sarcastic self and lambast every song that came on (Mystery Science Theater 3000 style). When "Kerosene" came on, she called Miranda the country version of Jessica Simpson and when "Come A Little Closer" by Dierks Bentley came on, she said how corny and awful the "I feel like laying you down" line was.
Eventually though, Terri Clark's "She Didn't Have Time" came on. My sister didn't say a word through the whole video. She was visibly upset by it when while it was playing. She somberly said "that was nice" when it was over.
My sister had to drop out of high school when she had a baby at 16 years old, and the father left her soon afterwards. She's liked country music ever since.
Just like the song, she met a man by then who decided to take on the responsibility of her two kids from previous relationships and they now have five kids total and are happily married.

Blake Shelton - "The Baby" Randy Travis - "Angels" Gary Allan - "Life Ain't Always Beautiful" Patty Loveless - "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye" These songs for sure always put a lump in my throat. Some other songs that can easily take me back to a moment in life and bring a tear to my eye: "Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)," Dixie Chicks "Gone Away From Me," Holly Williams "I Wonder," Kellie Pickler "If I Had Only Known," Reba "My Infinite Love," George Strait "Once In A While," Billy Dean "The Breath You Take," George Strait "Seein' My Father In Me," Paul Overstreet "So Much Like My Dad," George Strait "Standing Right Next To Me," Karla Bonoff "Stronger," Carlene Carter "That's My Job," Conway Twitty "The Dance," Garth Brooks "The Promise," Sturgill Simpson "The Sound Of A Million Dreams," David Nail (I can remember running to this one day and just getting hit with emotion and started tearing up) "Today," Gary Allan "Whenever You Come Around," Vince Gill "Wild Child," Kenny Chesney "(Without You) What Do I Do With Me," Tanya Tucker edit: totally forgot to add "You'll Be There" by George Strait. Instant tearjerker for me.

I have never been one to cry while listening to music. That being said, as soon as George Strait announced his retirement, I laid down and started listening to "I'll Always Remember You" and the tears just about started pouring out. That song is such a beautiful tribute to his fans and his career. I guess I felt kinda blindsided by his announcement, because he even says in the song, "I don’t know how many more years I’ve got left to do this, but I figure a few." And then like one year later he announced his retirement... It's a hard thing for me to grapple with :/ Thankfully he is still going to release albums for awhile!

A second batch from me. Yeah, I'm a bit of a softie. Although I usually get teary-eyed as opposed to outright sobbing.

Emmylou Harris - Goin' Back to Harlan (really, the entire Wrecking Ball album just blows me away) Guy Clark - Stuff That Works Johnny Cash - Before My Time John Michael Montgomery - The Little Girl (my biggest guilty pleasure) Patty Loveless - The Grandpa That I Know Randy Travis - Three Wooden Crosses Townes Van Zandt - For the Sake of the Song Vince Gill - The Key of Life

There's a handful of songs that I purposely avoid, and this is one of them. I can no longer find the nerve to listen to it. "Drinkin' Man" by George Strait is another one of those songs.

Like many others have stated, i've never cried while listening to a song, but i've definitely gotten teary-eyed.
Billy Joe Shaver - Live Forever Blaine Larsen - How Do You Get That Lonely? Jason Isbell - Elephant, Traveling Alone Jason Aldean - The Truth (Not a fan of this guy but I really like this song) Gary Allan - Today Townes Van Zandt - Tecumseh Valley, Waiting 'Round to Die, Marie Willie Nelson - The Scientist (his version is so much better than the original in my opinion. I feel like his age helps for what he's singing about.)

Just listened to Michelle Wright's "He Would Be 16" and it's so sad. About a woman who gave up her son 16 years ago. Now she wonders what he's like and who he's like now. So vivid and so read. Wowwww!

Wowwww! Such a great song. Too bad Michelle didn't have more success in the US...a lot of her material is really strong. This was her final of 3 top 40 hits in the US.

Most have been mentioned already.
Brantley Gilbert: "A Modern Day Prodigal Son". This is the only song that actually makes my eyes water. Brantley Gilbert: "Just As I Am". This one has me contemplating each time. Matt Williams: "You Walked With Jesus" & "You'll Make Her Cry". Maybe I'm too emotional... Tebey: "We Shook Hands (Man To Man)". For some reason this goes under my skin.

Blaine Larsen - How Do You Get That Lonely Jason Isbell - Elephant, Traveling Alone (Jason played Elephant at 2 of the 3 shows i've been to. Never fails to make me teary-eyed. Easily one of the most powerful songs i've ever listened to.) Chris Stapleton - Fire Away (Recently discovered the music video for this song starring the actor Ben Foster and an actress i'm not familiar with. Extremely powerful stuff. Deals with the 5 signs of emotional suffering.)
