Kathy Mattea's late '80s trucking song is actually a story of a man anxious to give up working for a slower-paced life with his wife. Mattea's No. 1 hit still resonates with an older generation who appreciate simple gestures like roses to commemorate an important occasion.

Billy Currington has been adding the steam to his country music career for some time now, but it was his 2005 hit single, 'Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right,' that sent him flying off the radar. The song (and video) made for an obvious choice for our Top 100 Country Love Songs list.

When it came time for Clint Black to sing the tender 'When I Said I Do' -- a love song in which two people declare what their relationship means after taking the journey into a life as husband and wife -- it was a no-brainer to have his actress wife, Lisa Hartman Black, join him on the tune. The song oozes with romance and was the perfect choice for the Top 50 in our list of Top 100 Country Love S

The Grammy Award-winning hit was written by John Hartford in 1968, and was a cover song for Campbell. Both Hartford and the legendary country star won Grammy Awards for the folksy country tune.

Although Jason Aldean's 2010 album 'My Kinda Party' was mostly about kicking back and having a good time, one love ballad made the record -- and became an instant classic country love song. Featuring Kelly Clarkson, 'Don't You Wanna Stay' is a theme song for everyone who knows how difficult it is to find and maintain a loving relationship.

It's been more than a decade since its release, but country music fans of all ages still know every single word to Faith Hill's hit song, 'Breathe.' The mega-popular love song was released in 1999, and quickly had country and pop fans alike singing along.

Country music legend Clay Walker had a heyday of success in the 1990s, but it wasn't until 2007 that the title track from his album 'Fall' became a popular country love song. The tune's chorus offers the kind of words that everyone wants to hear form their lover at the end of a bad day: "Fall, go on and lose it all / Every doubt, every fear / Every worry, every tear."
