From 'Beers with Jesus' to 'Fist City,' there is no lack of poetry here.

Hello, country music lovers. Let's play a game where everyone wins.
If you've listened to the radio lately, you know newish country star Thomas Rhett has been burning it up with his song, "(If I Could Have a) Beer With Jesus."
Now, if you're someone who knows anything about country, you should agree: That song title is pretty awesome. Pretty much all country song titles are awesome. This year, Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, Jamey Johnson and Kris Kristofferson got together to record a meta-version of "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die." The song was nominated for a CMA and is probably one of the best things to happen in the music world this year.
Maybe this decade.
Or ever.
So let's honor all of those redneck poets by thinking of the very, very best country song titles. We've got you started with some, along with the names of the greats who made them famous. We tried to stay away from novelty songs and songs that make people mad, because then we would be here all day. We might be anyway.
