#1 Remember When
Released in 2003 on the album Greatest Hits Volume II
The song is a look back at a man and his wife and their life together…remember when. This is also another great anniversary song.
Most Meaningful Lyrics:
Remember when the sound of little feet
Was the music we danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we’d never give it up
#2 Chattahoochee
Released in 1993 on the album A Lot About Livin’ (And a Little ‘Bout Love)
The song is about growing up and having fun – any kid in America.

But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
A lot about livin’ and a little ’bout love
#3 It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere
Released in 2003 on the album Greatest Hits Volume II
When is it a good time to kick back and have a drink? Anytime as it is 5 O’Clock somewhere.

The song is a great anniversary song as it describes a couple through the years still in love.

But love can walk through fire without blinkin’
It doesn’t take much when you get enough
Livin’ on love
#5 Good Time
Released in 2008 on the album Good Time
This is about a guy who wants to part after a hard day’s work. A very popular line dance song too!

And I’m tired and I don’t wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
Time for a good time
#6 Gone Country
Released in 1994 on the album Who I Am
The song portrays the country music scene.
Most Meaningful Lyrics:
She’s gone country, look at them boots
She’s gone country, back to her roots
She’s gone country, a new kind of suit
She’s gone counrty, here she comes
Another legendary country artist to read is George Strait love songs.
#7 Country Boy
Released in 2008 on the album Good Time
The song is about a boy trying to pick up a girl because he is a country boy.
Most Meaningful Lyrics:
Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you need to go
‘Cause I’m a country boy
#8 Drive (For Daddy Gene)
Released in 2002 on the album Drive
The song is a dedication to Alan’s father and childhood memories.
Most Meaningful Lyrics:
He’d let me drive her when we haul off a load
Down a dirt strip where we’d dump trash off of Thigpen Road
I’d sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedels
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal
#9 Little Bitty
Released in 1996 on the album Everything I Love
The song is about some of life’s greatest joys found in the simplicity and small things of life.
Most Meaningful Lyrics:
Well, it’s alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while
Another similar artist is to listen to a Randy Travis wedding playlist.
#10 Don’t Rock the Jukebox
Released in 1991 on the album Don’t Rock the Jukebox
The song is about a person at a bar who asks the bartender to only play country for his broken heart.
Most Meaningful Lyrics:
I don’t feel like rockin’
Since my baby’s gone
So don’t rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
One of my favorite songs of Jackson’s that is not that popular but is a great song to play while fishing or sitting by the fire is “Dog River Blues“. It is a two-step song too.
Most Meaningful Lyrics:
I’ve walked holes in both my shoes
Now I still got the river but I ain’t got you
I got the Dog River blues
