#15 ~ Blessed


Album: Greatest Hits
Track #19
Written by: Brett James, Hillary Lindsey, Troy Verges

"I get kissed by the sun
Each morning
Put my feet on a hardwood floor
I get to hear my children laughing
Down the hall through the
Bedroom door
Sometimes I sit on my
Front porch swing
Just soaking up the day
I think to myself, I think to myself
This world is a beautiful place

I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones
That love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed"

#14 ~ This One's For The Girls


Album: Martina
Track #4
Written by:  Chris Lindsey, Hillary Lindsey, Aimee Mayo

"This one's for all you girls about thirteen
High school canbe so rough, can be so mean
Hold onto, on to your innocence
Stand your ground when everyone's giving in

This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about twenty-five
In a little apartment, just trying to get by
Living on, on dreams and spaghetti-o's
Wondering where you life is gonna go

This one's for the girls
Who've ever had a broken heart
Who've wished upon a shooting star
You're beautiful the way you are
This one's for the girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This one's for the girls"

#13 ~ How Far


Album: Martina
Track #5
Written by:  Shaye Smith, Ed Hill, Jamie O'Neal

"There's a boat, I could sail away
There's the sky, I could catch a plane
There's a train, there's the tracks
I could leave and I could choose to not come back
Oh never come back

There you are, giving up the fight
Here I am begging you to try
Talk to me, let me in
But you just put your wall back up again
Oh when's it gonna end

How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far"

Billboard's Hot Country Songs: 12

Oddly enough this song has dimmed on me in the past few years. It used to be among my favourite of her but these days it just doesn't do as much for me. I wish I knew why though as o can't explain it.

I've always wanted to hear Jamie sing it, I'm curious what she can do with it. If there's anybody who could potentially do a better job with it it'd be her.

[fearlessarrow]

Ouch I just lost my #1 and #2 back to back... My favorites are clearly getting murdered in the #15-#11 range :'(

I am thrilled that "Reckless" made it this far! That was my jam in 2016, and ended up being the biggest hit of the year on my personal chart! I'm also a little surprised it made it this high, since it did not get a lot of praise around here when it was released, and it also hasn't had years to build up an iconic status like the vast majority of what is left in this list.

That being said, I am also shocked to see a #70 rank for it... Lol that's just cruel and unusual!

Sorry, I just hate hate hate hate her voice on it and also hate the song. She's capable of so much better. I never understood the Sarah buxton hype, her songs all stink. Oh well ;)

[.indulgecountry]

"How Far" is incredible and the best thing from her self-titled album, so I'm glad to see it at least finished a spot higher than "This One's for the Girls" ... but really I think both should've been higher. :'(

#12 ~ Be That Way


Album: Evolution
Track #3
Written by: Bob DiPiero, Stephony Smith

"Every time I turn around
I run right into your pride
Sometimes I'm not so sure if I wanna
Know that guy, know that guy
'Cause you've got a rock hard head
Stubborn as a mule
Oh, yeah, and by the way, I still love you

Go on and be that way
Slam that door
Make a scene
Yell some more
Come on let's have it out
Have your say
'Cause with a love this strong
Baby it's okay
For you to be that way"

Peak:
N/A

Points: 325

This is the final song not to be a single in this rankdown

up next for the final reveal of the day someone loses their #1 and this is the last song to miss out on the Top 10, what is not going to make it?

Remaining Songs:
My Baby Loves Me
Independence Day
Wild Angels
A Broken Wing
Wrong Again
Whatever You Say
Love's The Only House
When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues
Where Would You Be
Concrete Angel
Wrong Baby Wrong

[bboat11]

"Be That Way" is freaking iconic. Without a doubt one of the biggest misses of her career. I'm so glad it was able to do so well in this rankdown!

NO I've made it this far, it better not be me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, I was worried mine might not even make it to the top 20, so now that the top 10 is in sight, I'm gonna get aggressive!

[.indulgecountry]

"A Broken Wing"

Gonna predict "Love's the Only House" misses the Top 10. Or maybe "God-Fearin'" will.

[bboat11]

I'm gonna go with either "Concrete Angel", "Where Would You Be", "Love's The Only House", or "Wrong Baby Wrong".

Edit: Hell, if I keep listing songs, I'm bound to be right eventually!

#11 ~ Love's The Only House


Album: Evolution
Track #5
Written by: Buzz Cason, Tom Douglas

"I was standing in the grocery store line
The one they marked express
When this woman came through with about 25 things
And I said don't you know that more is less
She said this world is movin' so fast
I just get more behind with every day
And every mornin' when I make my coffee
I can't believe my life's turned out this way
All I could say was

Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love's the only house big enough for all the pain"

Peak:
Billboard's Hot Country Songs: 3
Billboard Hot 100: 42

Points: 323

This is the second single from Martina's 5th album Emotion

The publisher for this song denied Martina's request to record it saying that it was written from a guys perspective. This angered Martina and she pushed for it and the writer changed the lyrics to be from a woman's perspective for her.

LMAO aren't you glad you have an editor breathing down your neck every time you make a mistake

[fearlessarrow]

OK at least #12 and #11 I'm not sad about leaving :)

I'm glad to see the love for "How Far" because I couldn't really predict how it would fare. "How Far" was a first-time listen for me actually and it blew me away!

I'm still bitter about "This One's for the Girls" though. The "living on, on dreams and sphagetti-o's" line will forever be one of my favorite lines in a song.
