Country Love Songs – Part 3
30) Big Green Tractor – Jason Aldean
At first blush Big Green Tractor may not seem like a romantic country love song, but as Jason Aldean said himself…
From Song Facts Jason Aldean Big Green Tractor:
“There’s nothin’ more romantic than a tractor. If you live in South Georgia, a Saturday night out on the tractor with your girl is probably not that far-fetched of what could be considered a good ‘date night.’ The song seems to be connecting already, so maybe tractors have always been romantic, and everybody just needed reminding.”

29) The One – Gary Allan
Gary Allan is a country music treasure. While he doesn’t fit the standard country music guy he definitely has his own niche carved out. The raspy voiced singer didn’t really have a place in country when he first got started. It took a few singles before Gary was able to push himself out into the big time in country music. The One was a slow ballad that made the ladies swoon and love what he was saying. The song is about doing everything it takes until your woman knows that you think she’s the one. There is no better person to have sing a song like this than Gary. The passion and emotion come through in every lyric and people felt it and that’s why it’s on this list of country love songs.

Big & Rich were kind of a funky type country duo. Nobody really knew what to think of the guys. They had crazy songs that were in your face and telling you to ride a cowboy instead of a horse.

Nothing else matters in the world at this moment but the one person you’re with. If you’ve ever felt this way about someone you know what it’s like to be in love. Those moments are special and Big & Rich was able to capture the feeling in a great country love song.
