Country Music Girls Sing the Best Relationship Songs

Didn't use to be a country music fan. But listening to songs from Miranda Lambert and Lady Antebellum, the lyrics are swaying me over to that side. Country singing girls know how to tell like it is when it comes to men and relationships. Their lyrical tirades let those men know how they feel and let us fans articulate what we need to say in a catchy 3 minute tune. These songs are a great elixir for the breakup blues or relationships that test your patience.

Miranda Lambert - Baggage Claim


Lady Antebellum - Long Gone (here is a song that sums up my recent relationship situation)


It's so like you just to show up at my door
And act like nothin's happened
You think I'll sweep my heart up off the floor
And give it to you
Like so many times before
You're talking to a stranger
I'm not that girl anymore

[Chorus]
That girl is long gone
Boy you missed the boat it just sailed away
Long gone
She's not drowning in her yesterdays
Betcha never thought I'd be that strong
Well this girl is long gone

Don't waste your breath with baby baby please
Cuz I am so not listening
Don't bother getting down upon your knees and try to beg me
I'm tired of how you twist the truth
You're not talking to the same girl
Who used to forgive you

[Repeat Chorus]

Gone like the wind under Superman's cape
Like a thief in the night I made the great escape
I'm not the kind of girl that keeps making the same mistakes

[Chorus]
That girl is long gone
Boy you missed the boat it just sailed away
Long gone
I'm not drowning in my yesterdays
Betcha never thought I'd be that strong, betcha didn't
Yeah well baby I proved you wrong
This girl is long gone, long gone
This girl is long gone, long gone
This girl is long gone
This girl is gone
