Ten '90s Country Songs You Forgot You Loved

The ’90s was a time when country music was reborn. Several genres intertwined to create this new genre of country music that has caused a fondness of this era for people of all ages. You might have forgotten that you loved these songs, so let’s take a walk down memory lane together.


1. “Dust On The Bottle” by David Lee Murphy (1994)

“I wanna treat her right, he said / I got what you need, son / There’s a step down in the cellar / He reached through the cobwebs and he turned on the light and said / There might be a little dust on the bottle / But don’t let it fool ya about what’s inside.”


2. “She’s In Love With The Boy” by Trisha Yearwood (1991)

“Splashin’ through the mud and the muck / Her daddy says he ain’t worth a lick / When it comes to brains / He got the short end of the stick / But Katie’s young and man, she just don’t care / She’d follow Tommy anywhere.”


3. “I’m Alright” by Jo Dee Messina (1998)

“Been singing for my rent and singing for my supper / I’m above the below and below the upper / I’m stuck in the middle where money gets tight / But I guess I’m doin’ alright.”


4. “Any Man Of Mine” by Shania Twain (1995)

“Any man of mine better be proud of me / Even when I’m ugly, he still better love me / And I can be late for a date, that’s fine but he’d better be on time / Any man of mine’ll say it fits just right / When last year’s dress is just a little too tight.”


5. “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” by Toby Keith (1993)

“I should’ve been a cowboy / I should’ve learned to rope and ride wearing my six-shooter / Riding my pony on a cattle drive, stealing the young girls’ hearts / Just like Gene and Roy singing those campfire songs.”


6. “Meet In The Middle” by Diamond Rio (1991)

“Sometimes it was raining, and sometimes it would shine / We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine / I start walking your way, you start walking mine / We meet in the middle, ‘neath that old Georgia pine.”


7. “Wide Open Spaces” by The Chicks (1998)

“Who’s never left home? Who’s never struck out? / To find a dream and a life of their own, a place in the clouds, a foundation of stone / Many precede, and many will follow / A young girl’s dreams, no longer hollow / It takes the shape of a place out West / But what it holds for her, she hasn’t yet guessed.”


8.“Something Like That” by Tim McGraw (1999)

“I had a barbeque stain on my white t-shirt, she was killing me in that mini skirt / Skipping rocks on the river by the railroad tracks / She had a suntan line and red lipstick / I worked so hard for that first kiss and a heart don’t forget something like that.”


9. “Check Yes Or No” by George Strait (1995)

“Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend? / And if you do, well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand if you want to / I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.”


10. “Amazed” by Lonestar (1999)

“I’ve never been this close to anyone or anything / I can hear your thoughts, I can see your dreams / I don’t know how you do what you do, I’m so in love with you / It just keeps getting better / I wanna spend the rest of my life, with you by my side.”
