Country music is one of the most special genres of modern music. Born in America, it brings people together from all around the country. From Dolly Parton to Taylor Swift, Americans have been dancing and singing along to some top notch country music for decades.
You might love to bop along to country music to fill you with energy in your car while driving to work, while getting ready to go dancing at a nearby country bar with your friends, or pepping yourself up for a job interview. Country music can also be the perfect soul food after a break up, or a hard day at the office.
We all have certain musical artists that we connect with in a special way. Who is yours? Is it Brad Paisley? Carrie Underwood? Keith Urban? Whoever your favourite is, there's likely to be one artist that you especially love. Or maybe you're just a casual country music fan. Are you a diehard fan, or do you only love the bar bangers? There's no shame in either one, as long as you take advantage of fun music to make you feel some emotions! Or maybe even inspire you... to pick up a guitar of your own? Watch out ladies and gentlemen, we have a new and budding Faith Hill/Justin Moore on our hands!
How well do you know country music? Take the quiz and find out how good your lyrics knowledge really is. Maybe you think you know all the lyrics to every single song that has ever existed, or maybe you have been mumbling along between the choruses.

We can run the reds down Main Street dodging the blue lights Or disappear off into the corn out past the county line Baby keep on keep on swaying to the backbeat Long as you’re right here right here beside me You make the call baby I don’t care We can take this anywhere Got the Kenwoods banging that rock n’ roll Whisper to me baby where you wanna go I can ride you ‘round town or drive you down some ol’ back road I love the way you lean that seat back, steal my ball cap Pull it down over your blue eyes Watchin’ your hair fly out the window Just lettin’ the night roll And I can’t wait to see where it goes

Show up in a old t-shirt that I love Why you gotta tell me that I'm looking good Don't know what You were thinkin' You were doing Moving in for a hug Like you don't know I'm coming unglued Why you gotta Why you wanna Make me keep wanting you I wish you had on sunglasses to cover up those blue eyes I wish you said something mean maybe glad that you said goodbye Why can't you look off somewhere if you catch me staring at you Why can't you be cold like any old good ex would do

Every light in the house is on The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn The front walk looks like runway lights It's kinda like noon in the dead of night Every light in the house is on Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone Oh every light in the house is on The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn The front walk looks like runway lights It's kinda like noon in the dead of night Every light in the house is on Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone Every light in the house is on

You could be a blackbird On the country street Hiding from the world with a broken wing But you better believe you're gonna fly with me You could be a songbird from New Orleans Scared of the rain just as scared to sing But you better believe you're gonna fly with me Well, here we are baby in the back of my bed Suns going down skies turning red Stars coming out Baby look at you now God knows how long but it's been a while Since I heard you laugh and I seen that smile Felt that kiss and I can get used to this Baby I could get used to this
Who sings these lyrics?
And you left me Standing on a corner crying, Feeling like a fool for trying I don't even remember Why I'm wasting all these tears on you I wish I could erase our memory Cause you didn't give a damn about me Oh, finally I'm through Wasting all these tears on you These tears on you You ain't worth another sleepless night And I'll do everything I gotta do to get you off my mind Cause what you wanted I couldn't get What you did, boy I'll never forget
Who sings these lyrics?
I like a man who's crazy about me I like a man who can live without me too That's what I like about you I like a man who will lay down beside me I like a man who will stand up to me too That's what I like about you Don't want a man to be my twin Under my thumb, under my skin Don't want a man like a shadow on the ground With nothing else to do but follow me around
Who sings these lyrics?
When I became a father in the spring of '81 There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end I took my daddy's secret and passed it on to him I said Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us He said daddies don't just love their children every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen
Who sings these lyrics?
A couple guys in first class on a flight From new York to Los Angeles, Kinda making small talk killing time, Flirting with the flight attendants, Thirty thousand feet above, could be Oklahoma, Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms, Man it all looks the same, Miles and miles of back roads and highways, Connecting little towns with funny names, Who'd want to live down there in the middle of nowhere They've never drove through Indiana, Met the men who plowed that earth, Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me, Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas, They'd understand why God made those fly over states,
Who sings these lyrics?
And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her But you are everything to me I just want to show you She don't even know you She's never going to love you like I want to And you just see right through me If you only knew me We could be a beautiful Miracle Unbelievable Instead of just invisible There's a fire inside of you That can't help but shine through She's never going to see the light No matter what you do
Who sings these lyrics?
He brought home sixty-seven bucks a week He bought a little two bedroom house on Maple Street Where she blessed him with six more mouths to feed Yea that's crazy Just ask him how he did it, he'll say pull up a seat It'll only take a minute, to tell you everything Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense Never let your prayin' knees get lazy And love like crazy
Who sings these lyrics?
But I don't want "good" and I don't want "good enough" I want "can't sleep, can't breathe without your love" Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn't make sense to anybody else Who cares if you're all I think about, I've searched the world and I know now, It ain't right if you ain't lost your mind Yeah, I don't want easy, I want crazy Are you with me baby? Let's be crazy I wanna be scared, don't wanna know why Wanna feel good, don't have to be right The world makes all kinds of rules for love I say you gotta let it do what it does
Who sings these lyrics?
The highway won't dry your tears The highway don't need you here The highway don't care if you're coming home, but I do, I do. I bet you got a dead cell phone in your shotgun seat Yeah, I bet you're bending God's ear talking 'bout me. You're trying not to let the first tear fall out Trying not to think about turning around You're trying not to get lost in the sound but that song is always on, so you sing along I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby I can't live without you I can't live without you baby, oh baby
Who sings these lyrics?
Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free, oh, I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you I wanna walk and not run I wanna skip and not fall I wanna look at the horizon and not see a building standing tall I wanna be the only one for miles and miles Except for maybe you and your simple smile Oh, it sounds good to me Yes, it sounds so good to me
Who sings these lyrics?
It's not right It's not fair What you're missing over there Someday I'll find a way to show you Just how lucky I am to know you Ooh, I love the way you Love the way you love me There's nowhere else I'd rather be Ooo, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me I only wish that you could see the way you love me Woh woh woh woh the way you love me You're the million reasons why There's love reflecting in my eyes
Who sings these lyrics?
You were always the perfect one And a valedictorian So under your number I wrote Call for a good time I only wanted to get your attention But you over looked me somehow Besides you had too many boyfriends to mention And I played my guitar too loud How do you like me now How do you like me now Now that I'm on my way Do you still think I'm crazy standing here today I couldn't make you love me But I always dreamed about living in your radio How do you like me now?!
Who sings these lyrics?
Been a long time gone, No, I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when. Long time gone, and it ain't coming back again. Delia plays that ol' church piano, Sittin' out on her daddy's farm. She always thought that we'd be together, Lord, I never meant to do her harm. Said she could hear me singin' in the choir, Me, I heard another song. I caught wind and hit the road runnin', And Lord, I've been a long time gone.
Who sings these lyrics?
'Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs God gave me you for the days of doubt For when I think I've lost my way There are no words here left to say, it's true God gave me you, gave me you There's more here than what were seeing A divine conspiracy That you, an angel lovely Could somehow fall for me You'll always be love's great martyr And I'll be the flattered fool And I need you, yeah God gave me you for the ups and downs God gave me you for the days of doubt For when I think I've lost my way There are no words here left to say, it's true God gave me you
Who sings these lyrics?
What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liars chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right hereWhat have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt
Who sings these lyrics?
And I let go of all my lonely yesterdays I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made Now there's just one thing the only thing I want to do I want to love somebody, love somebody like you Yeah I want to feel the sunshine Shining down on me and you When you put your arms around me You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do I used to run in circles going nowhere fast I'd take one step forward and took two steps back I couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
Who sings these lyrics?
There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out And we can try out the four-wheel drive Come on now what do you say Girl, I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires. 'Cause it's a good night To be out there soakin' up the moonlight Stake out a little piece of shore line I've got the perfect place in mind. It's in the middle of nowhere, only one way to get there You got to get a little mud on the tires. Moonlight on a duck blind Catfish on a trot line Sun sets about nine this time of year We can throw a blanket down Crickets singin' in the background And more stars that you can count on a night this clear.
Who sings these lyrics?
Come a little closer, then you'll see Come on, come on, come on Things aren't always what they seem to be Come on, come on, come on Do you understand the things that you've been seeing? Come on, come on, come on Do you understand the things that you've been dreaming? Come a little closer, then you'll see Heartbreaks, the heavy world's upon your shoulders Will we burn on or just smolder? Somehow I know I'll find you there Ooh, you wanna see if you can change it, change it Still I know I'll see you there
Who sings these lyrics?
I was stealing kisses from a boy Now I'm begging affection from a man In my house dress don't know you who I am I'm standing in your kitchen It's late enough your husband's dinner is cold So you wrap it up and leave it for him on the stove It's probably the traffic again Or another important meeting And you haven't talked to an adult all day 'cept your neighbor who drives you crazy When he finally gets in he's sure not in the mood for talking
Who sings these lyrics?
I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun Wait by the door, and light a cigarette If he wants a fight, well, now he's got one And he ain't seen me crazy yet He slapped my face, and he shook me like a rag doll Don't that sound like a real man? I'm going to show him what little girls are made of Gunpowder and lead Well, it's half past ten, another six-pack in And I can feel the rumble like the cold black wind He pulls in the drive, the gravel flies He don't know what's waiting here this time
