All I Really Need to Know, I Learned from Country Music

Country music gets a bad rap. People think of it as nothing more than rednecks crooning about their dog dying, their woman leaving, and their truck rolling off of a cliff.
And certainly, there are those songs. This one being my personal favorite.
But truly, there are jewels of wisdom to be found in many country songs.
Like the chorus of this Billy Currington song:

God is great, Beer is Good....and People are Crazy.

Were truer words ever spoken?

And these words to live by from Van Zant:

It's better to be hated for who you are than beloved for what you're not.

Almost every line of the Lee Ann Womack song, I Hope You Dance, is quotable, but I like this one especially:

I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean;
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance...
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I Hope You Dance.

This Rascal Flatts song is also full of inspirational lines, and the chorus makes me cry every time.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

And one of the best of all is from Kenny Chesney & Dave Matthews:

And today you know that’s good enough for me
Breathin' in and out's a blessing can’t you see
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
I'm Alive, and Well.

Are there any song lyrics that are especially meaningful to you?
