This Music Monday, in honor of the final two American Idol contestants both being country singers and loving every duet they did together; I decided to share my favorite country duets. Some heartache, some passion and a whole lot of twang. Happy Listening ♥
Tim McGraw & Faith Hill – It’s Your Love
*It’s your love,
It just does something to me,
It sends a shock right through me,
I can’t get enough and if you wonder
About the spell I’m under, oh, it’s your love*
Carrie Underwood & Randy Travis – I Told You So
*If I told you that I realized you’re all I ever wanted
And it’s killing me to be so far away,
Would you tell me that you love me too and would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say
I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you someday you’d come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again*
Alison Krauss & Brad Paisley – Whiskey Lullaby
*The rumors flew, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain a way, a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind*
George Strait & Lee Ann Womack – Everything But Quits
*We’ve thrown around goodbyes
Called us off a thousand times
We’ve called it everything but quits
We’ve said some things that hurt
But love’s always had the last word
We’ve called it everything but quits*
Brad Paisley & Carrie Underwood – Remind Me
*Remember the airport dropping me off
We were kissing goodbye and we couldn’t stop
I felt bad cause you missed your flight
But that meant we had one more night
Do you remember how it used to be
We’d turn out the lights and didn’t just sleep
Remind me, remind me*
Willie Nelson & Lee Ann Womack – Mendocino County Line
*I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time.
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I’m doin’ fine.
I used to make you happy once upon a time,
But the sun sank west on the Mendocino County Line*
Johnny & June Cash – Long-Legged Guitar Pickin’ Man
*Well I stole the Hope diamond
Hopin’ I could shut your mouth,
But how am I gonna wear it
If I got to hide it out.
Oh you big mouthed woman
You long-legged guitar pickin’ man
But we can work this out
Uh huh, yes mam, I think we can*
Trisha Yearwood & Garth Brooks – In Another’s Eyes
*In another’s eyes
I’m afraid that I can’t see
This picture perfect portrait
That they paint of me
They don’t realize
And I pray they never do
‘Cause every time I look I’m seein’ you
In another’s eyes*
And last but not least, because I’m OBSESSED:
Kelly Clarkson & Jason Aldean – Don’t You Wanna Stay
*Let’s take it slow
I don’t wanna move too fast
I don’t wanna just make a love
I wanna make a love last
When you’re up this high
It’s a sad goodbye
Don’t you wanna stay here a little while?*
