Got so drunk so many times singing Luckenback TX at the top of my lungs.Swaye said:You put Waylon and Willie together, and they are the absolute best Cuntry Music has ever had to offer. Luckenbach, TX is as good of a country song as has ever been recorded.

I change my mind. The GOAT lyric is the only two things in life that make worth living, is guitars tuned good and firm feeling wimminPurpleThrobber said:

Lulz. I just sexted @swaye like 60 mins ago that "West Virginia, Mountain Mama" was probably the best lyric in the history of popular music.huskyhooligan said:I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Kenny RogersThe GOAT lyric is mama got run over by the g’damn train

Waylon JenningsI often run across pictures of Texas in the 70s. This place kicked ass. Wish I could’ve been here.

Waylon JenningsWho made this poll? @YellowSnow ?
CHRIST.
Waylon, Willie and Johnny fucking Cash.
OK, too be fair most of Cash's recording career was in the 60s and 80s. But still ...
My GOAT song.
(Not as popular as the others, but gets me right in the feels. And 80s)

Christ yourself. Each artist gets to play in their most dominant decade. Cash was a giant of the 60s. His best work was behind him by the 70s until the 90s re-birth (might make and exception for JC for the 90s)pawz said:Who made this poll? @YellowSnow ?

Waylon Jenningskind of forgot about it but I was at the Willie Nelson 4th of July picnic in 1979 - at the Pedernales Golf Club
What I remember most is having a dislocated jaw and my jaw was wired shut - and damn it was hot - something like 43 days in a row over 100
