Every. Word.

You know those songs that you don't think about in your everyday life, or they're not on your playlists anymore, but then they come on the radio or in a restaurant and you know every single word? I love those. For me, it's mostly the country I grew up hearing in the car with my parents, and others are from those phases when I only listened to about two artists at a time with my friends. Here's a few:

Lorelei by Styx

I Can Love You Like That by John Michael Montgomery

One Step at a Time by Jordin Sparks

Any Man of Mine by Shania Twain (actually, anything of hers)

*I was at a Lady Antebellum concert recently, and when they surprised us with this song, the audience exploded and everybody was dancing and singing and it made my heart SO happy.

She Never Lets it Go to Her Heart by Tim McGraw

Little Bitty by Alan Jackson

Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney

Paint Me a Birmingham by Tracy Lawrence

My Maria by Brooks & Dunn

The entire Metamorphosis album by Hilary Duff

Forever and Ever, Amen by Randy Travis

I know every word, the backup vocals, the harmonies, the instrumental riffs...well, okay then! I love these little discoveries, it puts a smile on my face. Our memories hold a lot more than we realize--some memories just have to be recalled and then they're clear as day. How amazing. Now, if only I had more friends who love country music like I do...y'all are few and far between. But hey, we make it work, don't we? :)

Do you know any of these gems? What song sneaks up on you and has been sitting in your memory all along?
