Songs with a Long Instrumental Outro

[sabre14]

What country songs have long musical outro's? Basically a song that has music continue for a while with no lyrics at the end of the song. It's okay if the radio-edit cuts them off -- the album versions are fine. I'm kind of looking for ones that have at least a minute outro. :)

Brothers Osborne - "Stay A Little Longer"
Sara Evans - "Backseat Of A Greyhound Bus"
Sara Evans - "Born To Fly"
Carrie Underwood - "Two Black Cadillacs"
Brad Paisley - "The Best Thing I Had Going"
Brad Paisley - "I Wish You'd Stay"
Brad Paisley w/Keith Urban - "Start A Band"
Keith Urban - "Better Life" (WYRK always played the whole thing -- CCUSA always cut it off dramatically)
Tim McGraw - "The Cowboy In Me"
Shannon Lawson - "Goodbye On A Bad Day"

Sara Evans has historically had a tendency to do this a lot, especially around the Born To Fly era...

Born To Fly
Saints & Angels
I Could Not Ask For More
I Keep Looking (Lyrics continue for most of the outro, but it is just the title repeating over and over)
Four-Thirty
You Don't
Every Little Kiss
"Let's Dance" and "Show Me The Way To Your Heart" both have outros too, but they are a little shorter (like approx. 30 seconds).

And those are ALL on the same album...

Restless has quite a few as well:
Backseat of a Greyhound Bus
Restless
Niagara
Tonight
Otis Redding
I Give In

And here are a couple more from other albums:
Supernatural
Bible Song (If you don't consider all the "hallelujahs" to be part of the lyrics...)

On average, I feel as if her songs have gotten shorter as her career has progressed

A lot of tracks on Jamey Johnson's The Guitar Song do this (especially "California Riots", which is about two minutes of lyrics and five minutes of jamming).

[drummerman2009]

Here's one that might fit:

Merle Haggard - "I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink"

[sbp17]

You're Gone by Diamond Rio, and a very intense outro at that.

[Daryl the Beryl]

Stay a Little Longer

When I listen to that song, I usually skip the outro.

Miranda Lambert:

Oklahoma Sky
Makin' Plans
Virginia Bluebell

[Steven]

Jason Isbell - Children of Children

Song ends at the 3 minute mark but Isbell and the band continues to jam for almost 3 more minutes. Such a stellar tune!

The outro is one of the best parts of the song. I never skip it. John's guitar work is great.

[Ten Pound Hammer]

Easton Corbin - "I Can't Love You Back". The song's like 4 1/2 minutes long and two of it is the outro. And it's just the same chords over and over, too.

[The Brazilian Guy 🇧🇷]

Kenny had 2 back-to-back singles with big outro's - The Boys of Fall and Somewhere With You.

*fun trivia, "Outro" means "Other" in portuguese

[gardyfan]

Alan Jackson's version of The Blues Man has an outstanding outro.

[Andy]

Ricky Skaggs - Country Boy

[onebuffalo]

Morning Desire-Kenny Rogers
Do You Love Me Just Say Yes-Highway 101
Ain't Misbehavin'-Hank Williams, Jr.

[M&TSwiftie]

Brad paisley/Carrie underwood- remind me ... Heard it on the radio the other day
Martina McBride- Anyway
Tim McGraw- shotgun rider
Kenny chesney- Come over
Feel like a rockstar

Jonathan Tyler- "Everything Was Cool In 2002"
Gary Allan- "Putting My Misery On Display"
Dierks Bentley- "Lot Of Leavin' Left To Do"
Miranda Lambert- "White Liar"
Jason Aldean- "My Kinda Party"

And I believe quite a few of Keith Urban's songs.

[Kat5Kind]

Rainy Season by HH. ESPECIALLY live. Actually, a lot of his are like that.

[McCreerian (Harris 2024!)]

"Amarillo by Morning" anyone? Wow! That's the King of them all! I once heard a DJ say that in his training he was told it was almost sacrilegious to cut off or even talk over the ending of that song!

"Papa Loved Mama" a close 2nd!

[bboat11]

Martina McBride:
Life #9
Wild Angels
You've Been Driving All The Time
Whatever You Say
This Uncivil War
When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues
Where Would You Be
Blessed
God's Will

Probably lots more, but I will stop there :)

Also, while we're on the subject of George Strait, I will add "Run" to the list!

[sabre14]

The Farm - "Walkin'"

It's pretty good instrumental, too.

[.indulgecountry]

Lee Ann Womack - "I Hope You Dance"

[dajross6]

Travis Tritt - "Tell Me I Was Dreaming"

[Deleted]

Sugarland's "What I Give" off of their Love on the Inside album has a really sweet instrumental outro that lasts almost 2 minutes... it's my favourite part of the song.

ETA: "Georgia Woods" from Keith Urban's Get Closer is also another really great one. Just came up on my shuffle playlist.

[phil1996]

The Outsiders - Eric Church. ---- A. Freaking. Plus. Musical magic.

[onebuffalo]

I'll add two by Conway Twitty: We Did But Now You Don't and Lost In The Feeling.

[Deleted]

I can't understand a dang word he says, but wow do I love the instrumentation on this one....

Dwight Yoakam- "Long White Cadillac"

[Deleted]

Dixie Chicks Cowboy Take Me Away one of my all time favorites 
Lee Ann Womack I Hope You Dance also one of my favorites 

[someguy]

Zac Brown Band - "Junkyard" (yes it was released to rock radio, but it's one of my very favourite outros on a country album)

[Deleted]

Nate Green - Love Again

How traditionally country it is, is contrasting to how more modern the whole EP sounds.
