Lyrics

Will you stop by if you ever walk my way again
And reminisce the love that once had been
And if absence makes us grow fonder or it leaves us just the friends
I’d like to know if you ever walk my way again

If you ever walk my way again please stop and see
If by chances any feeling you still have love for me
‘Cause I’ll wait and my love for you will never never end
Will you stop by if you ever walk my way again

If you ever walk my way again please stop and see
If by chances any feeling you still have love for me
‘Cause I’ll wait and my love for you will never never end
Will you stop by if you ever walk my way again

Will you stop by if you ever walk my way again…

Mo Pitney’s “Country” stands as one of the most authentic explorations of what it truly means to be country, going far beyond the typical clichés to capture the essence of a lifestyle and mindset that resides in the heart rather than on a map; co-written with legendary songwriter Bill Anderson and Bobby Tomberlin during a profound five-hour conversation about the meaning of country music and life, the song emerged as Pitney’s debut single in 2014 and immediately established him as a torchbearer for traditional country values; what makes this track special is Pitney’s genuine delivery and the thoughtful lyrics that remind us “country ain’t even a place on the map, it’s a place in your heart,” a sentiment that resonates deeply with anyone who understands that being country is about values, community, and authenticity rather than geography; the Illinois native brings a refreshing sincerity to the genre, drawing inspiration from icons like Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, and Ray Price while creating something that feels both timeless and necessary in today’s musical landscape; directed by Wes Edwards, the music video cleverly uses a white backdrop to emphasize that “country” is about the person, not the scenery, further reinforcing the song’s message that true country spirit can exist anywhere; whether you’re a longtime fan of traditional country or just discovering its rich heritage, Pitney’s “Country” serves as a heartfelt reminder of what makes this genre so enduring and meaningful to millions of people around the world.

Brooks & Dunn’s iconic hit “That Ain’t No Way To Go” perfectly captures the raw emotion of an unexpected breakup with its unforgettable opening line about lipstick letters on a mirror, released in March 1994 as the fifth and final single from their Grammy-winning album “Hard Workin’ Man” and quickly climbing to #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, becoming their sixth chart-topper; co-written by Kix Brooks, Ronnie Dunn, and Don Cook, the song stands out as a quintessential 90s country classic with its blend of traditional instruments like steel guitar and fiddle creating a rich, melancholic backdrop for the story of someone blindsided by their lover’s sudden departure; what makes this track particularly special is how it balances emotional vulnerability with a sense of righteous indignation, as the narrator grapples with the shock of being left without even a proper goodbye, resonating deeply with anyone who’s ever felt they deserved more closure than they received; the song’s enduring popularity earned it the #11 position on Billboard’s year-end country chart for 1994 and helped solidify Brooks & Dunn’s status as one of country music’s most successful duos, with its timeless message about respect and dignity in relationships continuing to connect with listeners three decades after its release, proving that some heartbreak anthems never lose their emotional impact.

That moment Jelly Roll’s voice breaks in ‘Only’ sent chills down my spine – now I understand why 41 million people can’t stop listening to this raw, honest anthem about overcoming life’s darkest moments.
