Top Ten Motivational Songs of 2007: Country

Country music becomes more mainstream each and every year. It may have been ten years ago that many country songs just talked about being complacent and unhappy, or heartbroken. However, today, it's easier to find a country song that is truly motivational.

Have you realized lately how many more country songs seem to grace the Billboard Top 40 pop charts? Especially in 2007. You'll find more crossover music than ever before, as country music comes into a style all its own.

Here are the top ten picks for motivational country songs for 2007! This list of course wasn't too easy to compile, as there are still many country songs about broken hearts and trying to get love back, but I think I have found some motivational country songs from 2007...

1.Before He Cheats, by Carrie Underwood. This song is actually about a girl being upset because her man cheated on her. So why is it a motivational country song? Because she isn't going to let him do it again. She might have been a fool once, but save this trickery for some other woman. She got revenge! While I don't ever advocate any type of violence, even to someone's vehicle, the song is inspiring because it shows that you don't have to put up with someone treating you wrong.

2. Something More, from Sugarland. I love this song. This song is about finally getting sick of the same old thing, and wanting to experience life to the fullest. The song talks about living life instead of working all day every day. The best line in this motivational country song is "...happiness is something we create..." The song can motivate you to start creating your own happiness for yourself, whether that means quitting your job or just living your life differently!

3. I Just Came Back from a War, by Darryl Worley. Why is this song a top motivational song? It's motivational because it makes you appreciate living in America, and living free. It shows you that others have to make sacrifices to allow everyone to have this type of freedom. If you were in the war, it motivates you to return to ife as it should be, where people are loved. This song is especially motivational in 2007, with all of the soldiers fighting in Iraq.
