Download International Harvester. Farm to Fame – Joey + Rory. In a sad story, Joey + Rory tell the tale of a country singer that went from farm to fame. The song is about a unnamed country singer that worked hard to go from rags to riches and then ultimately fell back to rags again after his run of country success flamed out. The song has the usual great melody and sound of a Joey + Rory tune. They have a special talent for telling stories.

Download Farm To Fame. Hillbilly Deluxe – Brooks & Dunn. Brooks & Dunn have always had a different kind of attitude, but they took things to a new, cool level with the release of Hillbilly Deluxe. The song is about life in a small town. This song kind of stretches the limits of farm songs, but I thought it should be included since it has pickup trucks, home grown country girls, and small town parties. Most of these events happen outside of the small towns all across America where farms are usually only a mile or two, if that, away from the big lights of the small town. Download Hillbilly Deluxe.

The writer of the song said it was based on actual events from her coming of age history. The song was bittersweet and something everybody could relate to.

One of Montgomery Gentry. I put this song on the list since there are images of farming and farming life sprinkled in the lyrics. A rusty tractor is in the first line of the song. Some of these country songs include lyrics and stories about small town life. I can’t help but think of farming and small towns as one in the same sometimes.
