One of the best things about country music is its ability to pinpoint the simple joys in life and make them seem extraordinary. The lyrics always seem to speak directly to a life well-lived, but without any frills.
It's not about being rich and famous, or traveling the world, or doing anything except for raising a good family and providing for them. It's about lifelong friendships, spending time with the people you love, and staying true to the way your parents raised you.
Country stars are never flashy, they're honorable. Take George Jones, for example. He was a king as far as the country music world is concerned, but you'd never see his name in the tabloids. One of his biggest hits, "He Stopped Loving Her Today, " is about a man who loved the same woman until the day he died. It's heartbreakingly honest and so beautiful.
