No one has mentioned 'He stopped loving her today', I guess it's because that's just sort of a given.

I've always liked Doug Stone's Warning Labels

came to post this one. sad as shite

misery and gin, empty glass, better off in a pine box, long black veil (although, i prefer the band or j.r. cash's live version over lefty) are some of my favorites

bourbon borderline (gary allan), i don't have anymore love songs (hank jr), i'm so lonesome i could cry (hank sr), blue eyes crying in the rain (willie nelson), crazy eddie's last hurrah (reckless kelly)(though, it is more of a rage song), et al
